2. The oldest known love song was written 4,000 years ago and comes from an area between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers.

3. One in five long-term love relationships began with one or both partners being involved with others.

4. Falling in love can induce a calming effect on the body and mind and raises levels of nerve growth factor for about a year, which helps to restore the nervous system and improves the lover’s memory.

5. Love can also exert the same stress on your body as deep fear . You see the same physiological responses—pupil dilation, sweaty palms, and increased heart rate.

6. Philadelphia International Airport finished as the No. 1 best airport for making a love connection, according to a recent survey.

7. Men who kiss their wives in the morning live five years longer than those who don’t.

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport L’Or Blanc in Paris by Seger Giesbers:

The Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport L’Or Blanc came about as a joint venture between Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin (KPM). KPM used their finest porcelain to create the exterior and interior parts that make the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport L’Or Blanc so unique. Each part had a specific cast and tests were carried out for several weeks to calculate the shrinkage of the material once heated in the kiln to over 1200 degrees centigrade.
The Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport L’Or Blanc is the first car to use such a material in its construction. After creating the porcelain body work, the car was precision painted by Bugatti engineers and covered in no less than five layers of clear lacquer. The price? A cool 1.65 million euros.

LADY BOWER RESERVOIR

The hole you see below in the Lady bower Reservoir, Derbyshire, England is reportedly the world's largest Bell-mouth spillway. Spillways are structures used to provide for the controlled release of water from a dam or levee into a downstream area so that the water does not overtop and damage or even destroy the dam. Such spillways are common in many man made lakes such as the Ladybower Reservoir.

The Ladybower Reservoir is provided with two Bell-mouth overflows (locally named the 'plugholes') each having inlet diameter of about 80 feet which tapers to about 15 feet at its exit located at the base of the dam.
The reservoir is a popular tourist location for the scenic beauty it provides. The presence of two large holes in the reservoir helps as it offers a curious sight.

Fart Facts

Why do we fart? I know this stinks, but let's look at this from a scientific point of view.

Everything we eat or drink gives us gas. In fact, it's normal to fart up to half a gallon (1.9 liters), or about 15 to 20 toots worth of gas each day.

Particularly fragrant flatulence, however, comes from colonies of bacteria shacked up inside our lower intestinal tract. In the process of converting our meals into useful nutrients, these food-munching microbes produce a smelly by-product of hydrogen sulfide gas—the same stench that emanates from rotten eggs.

Just like the rest of us, the bacteria like munching on sugary foods best. The types of sugar naturally present in milk, fruit — and, of course, beans — produce the most farts.

Gold Fish HMM..

If you keep a goldfish in the dark room, it will eventually turn white!

Goldfish produces melanin. Melanin is a pigment body's product that is activated by the suns light. Without light the pigment fades. It is in rare occasions that the goldfish will actually turn white. And it isn't fully advisable to try this because light is a key need in the long life of a goldfish.

WOMEN OR "FEMALE GIRAFFE" OF KAYAN LAHWI TRIBE OF BURMA

Women of Kayan Lahwi tribe of Burma are the most renowned for their ornaments known as neck rings, brass coils that are placed around the neck. The women wearing these coils are known as giraffe women to tourists. These coils are first applied to young girls when they are around five years old.
Each coil is replaced with longer coil, as the weight of the brass pushes the collar bone down and compresses the rib cage. Contrary to popular belief, the neck is not actually lengthened; the illusion of a stretched neck is created by the deformation of the clavicle. Many ideas regarding why the coils are worn have been suggested, often formed by visiting anthropologists, who have hypothesized that the rings protected women from becoming slaves by making them less attractive to other tribes.

FAMOUS VIETNAMESE SNAKE WINE

Snake wine is an alcoholic beverage that includes a whole venomous snake in the bottle. It originated in Vietnam and can be found around Southeast Asia . The snakes, preferably venomous ones, are usually not preserved for their meat. They are preserved to have the snake poison dissolved in the liquor. However, because snake venom is protein-based, they are unfolded and therefore inactivated due to the influence of the denaturing effects of ethanol.

A large venomous snake can be placed into a glass jar of rice wine, often with many smaller snakes, turtles, insects, or birds, and left to steep for many months. The wine is drunk as a restorative in small shots or cups
Body fluids of snake are mixed into wine and consumed immediately in the form of a shot. Snake blood wine is prepared by slicing a snake along its belly and draining its blood into a mixing vat with rice wine or grain alcohol. Snake bile wine is done through a similar method by using the contents of the gall bladder. Snake meat, liver, and skin can be prepared to accompany the drinks.
