Fun Facts: Human Body & Behavior Part 1

Our urge to breathe is not because of our need for oxygen but because our bodies want to get rid of carbon dioxide.

If you have delusions where you think you’re a wolf or another wild animal, you suffer from what’s called lycanthrope.

The average person blinks about twelve times per minute. That’s about ten thousand blinks on average, per day.

The average human scalp has 100,000 hair follicles. 

A “gut feeling” is actually a chemical signal that your stomach creates to warn your brain of danger.

The Sunshine Editor:    Why do we need to keep it clean, LL ?

It Smells Better Cat:   If you keep it clean, it will smell better.   There are many things in nature that dispose of dead everything.   Everything from bacteria, insects, to buzzards.    Buzzards do the heavy lifting when it comes to recycling.

Here is how they came to be.    There are many types.   The carrion eaters are the most impressive.

In Africa they are cleaning up a cheetah kill.   They remind me of Democrats looking for a no-bid government contract.

Looking for food.

I watch them circling for smelly odors when the Democrats aren’t on 24-7.

Maybe ‘Raid’ should be in charge of Hell.

Swift Boost Mission

Explanation: Sometimes we can all use a little help from a friend. NASA‘s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory needs a boost to stay in orbit after almost 22 years of service. This video shows an artist’s visualization of the Swift Boost Mission: The Katalyst‘s LINK spacecraft was launched aboard a Northrop Grumman Pegasus XL rocket on July 3 and it is now en route to rendezvous with Swift and boost it to a higher orbit over the course of the next several months. This type of maneuver has never been attempted before. If successful, it will be the technology demonstration of a new key capability to extended the lifetime of spacecraft in low Earth orbit, whose orbits decay over time. Swift has an array of instruments that observe the most energetic explosions in the Universe in gamma-rays, X-rays and ultraviolet, and the unique ability to repoint in their direction within tens of seconds. Astronomers around the world, and indeed all fans of cosmic explosions, are anxiously hoping for a successful mission!

MEMES

Take A Smile Break…

Two elderly women were out driving in a large car, neither one could hardly see over the dashboard. As they were cruising along, they came to an intersection. The stoplight was red but they went on through. The woman in the passenger seat thought to herself, “I must be losing it. I could have sworn we just went through a red light!”

After a few more minutes they came to another intersection, the light was red, and again they went right through. This time, the passenger was almost sure that the light had been red, but was also concerned that she might be seeing things.

She was getting nervous and decided to pay very close attention. At the next intersection, sure enough, the light was definitely red and they went right through it. She turned to the other woman and said, “Mildred! Did you know we just ran through three red lights in a row? You could have killed us!”

Mildred turned to her and said, “Oh My Gosh!! Am I driving? “

A policeman is walking down the street one day when he notices a very small boy trying to press a doorbell on a house across the street.

However, the boy is very small and the doorbell is too high for him to reach. After watching the boy’s efforts for some time, the policeman walks up behind the little fellow and, placing his hand on the child’s shoulder leans over and gives the doorbell a solid ring.

Crouching down to the child’s level, the policeman smiles and asks, “And now what, my little man?”

To which the boy replies, “Now we run!”
