Mangoes may be good for your heart.
When you slice into this yummy stone fruit, you're accessing a powerful source of potassium. D'Alessandro explains that the mango is a "potassium-rich food" that can "help offset high-sodium intake and manage high blood pressure, but not so rich in potassium that it would be off-limits for people with kidney disease or other potassium-reduced diets."

The mango is full of essential vitamins and minerals, including for plant-based eaters.
D'Alessandro says mango is rich in vitamin A, which makes it great for skin and eye health, as well as a great source of vitamin C "for cell protection and to help increase iron absorbability, especially for vegans and anyone diagnosed with iron-deficient anemia." (Like this idea? Then check out Popular Foods With More Vitamin C Than an Orange.)

If you're watching your weight:
Yes, it's important to keep an eye on the sugar content that's in your mango—but, D'Alessandro says, if you pay attention to your portion size, this can be a good fruit for folks who are working to shed weight. She says this is because one cup of mango has about 70 calories, which makes it "great to add to any meal or include as a refreshing snack."

How did Plagues go away?
The plague never really went away, and when it returned 800 years later, it killed with reckless abandon. The Black Death, which hit Europe in 1347, claimed an astonishing 200 million lives in just four years.
As for how to stop the disease, people still had no scientific understanding of contagion, says Mockaitis, but they knew that it had something to do with proximity. That’s why forward-thinking officials in Venetian-controlled port city of Ragusa decided to keep newly arrived sailors in isolation until they could prove they weren’t sick.
At first, sailors were held on their ships for 30 days, which became known in Venetian law as a trentino. As time went on, the Venetians increased the forced isolation to 40 days or a quarantino, the origin of the word quarantine and the start of its practice in the Western world.
The Great Plague of London—Sealing Up the Sick
Scenes in the streets of London during the Great Plague of 1665.
London never really caught a break after the Black Death. The plague resurfaced roughly every 10 years from 1348 to 1665—40 outbreaks in just over 300 years. And with each new plague epidemic, 20 percent of the men, women and children living in the British capital were killed.

By the early 1500s, England imposed the first laws to separate and isolate the sick. Homes stricken by plague were marked with a bale of hay strung to a pole outside. If you had infected family members, you had to carry a white pole when you went out in public. Cats and dogs were believed to carry the disease, so there was a wholesale massacre of hundreds of thousands of animals.

The Great Plague of 1665 was the last and one of the worst of the centuries-long outbreaks, killing 100,000 Londoners in just seven months. All public entertainment was banned and victims were forcibly shut into their homes to prevent the spread of the disease. Red crosses were painted on their doors along with a plea for forgiveness: “Lord have mercy upon us.”

Eatting Strawberries

Your blood pressure may go down.
"Strawberries are a good source of potassium which can help to lower blood pressure by counteracting the negative effects of sodium. Strawberries also contain a type of flavonoid called anthocyanins, which have been found to help reduce blood pressure," Tammy and Lyssie note.

"If you can eat just a cup of strawberries each week, research in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has found that you can lower your risk of high blood pressure. Added bonus: You can reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke by lowering blood pressure."

2
You may reduce your risk of cancer.
"Strawberries are packed with antioxidants that can prevent free radicals from causing cell damage that can lead to cancer. Ellagic acid, one of the powerful antioxidants in strawberries, has been shown to suppress cancer cell growth," The Nutrition Twins share.

"Strawberries are also higher than any fruit or vegetable in fisetin, a flavonoid that has potent anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic properties and that may stop the growth of cancer."

3
Your stomach may get upset.
"If you're not used to eating fibrous foods and you eat a large quantity of strawberries, you may experience heartburn, diarrhea, reflux, or bloating, just as some people experience after eating too much of any fruit," The Nutrition Twins explain.

4
Humans fart up to 25 times per day
A normal person farts approximately 12 to 25 times per day. While you may think you don’t break that much wind each day, you may simply be unaware of your farting. In fact, flatulence occurs at all hours of the day and night. Yep, you fart while you sleep…

Humans produce up to 1.5 litres (0.39 gallons) of gas per day
People expel between 0.5 and 1.5 litres (0.13 and 0.39 gallons) of gas from their rectums each day, equal to between 182.5 and 547.5 litres (48 and 145 gallons) of gas per year. That’s enough to fill a small pool.

Aerophagia causes flatulence
Everyone takes in a little air throughout the day, but did you know that sucking in too much air can cause bloating, burping, and…farting? After all, accumulated air must, sooner or later, leave the body somehow, whether through the mouth or the rectum.

Farts may help fight disease
When someone cuts a smelly one, we usually head for the hills. According to some researchers, however, the gas responsible for a fart’s rotten egg odour, hydrogen sulfide, may not be all that bad. In fact, it may even protect our cells.
While no hydrogen sulfide-based treatment yet exists, scientists suspect that this gas could help reduce our risk of cancer, stroke, and heart attack.

Humans are not the only creatures who fart
Humans don’t have a monopoly on farting. While birds and octopuses do not fart, other animals pass quite a lot of gas. Cows, for example, have four stomachs and emit 160 to 320 litres (42.3 to 84.5 gallons) of methane every day. Methane is one of the gases responsible for climate change. Livestock produce nearly 15% of the planet’s greenhouse gases.


AT LAST PROOF FOR THE WIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Women’s farts generally smell worse than men’s farts
Do men or women have smellier farts? Actually, women take home the prize in this contest. Why? Simply because their farts tend to contain more hydrogen sulfide, the gas that smells like rotten eggs, than men’s farts.

Take heart, ladies. Men tend to fart more often.

The hair dryer was invented by Alexander Godefroy in France in 1890 and was available for commercial sale in 1920. The very first blow dryer was a bonnet or hooded dryer which required you to sit down underneath it. The very first hooded dryer was connected to a gas stove or chimney pipe which provided the heat. The bonnet contained small openings which allows even airflow. Hooded dryers are still popular in many salons to this day.

The very first blow dryer was patented in America by Gabriel Kanzajian in 1911. Portable dryers were able for sale to the public at approximately 1915. The very first portable dryers were on the heavy side weighing on average two pounds and were rather challenging to operate. They were also quite dangerous with a few electrocution and overheating incidents. They also weren’t very efficient since these early driers had just 100 watts capacity, a big change from today’s modern dryers which have on average at least 1800 watts with some models providing over 2000 watts of heat. As a result hair drying took significantly longer in the early days.

What is the act of eating outside called

1) Picnic
2) Al Fresco
3) lets eat over there
4) Carver














ANSWERS

2) Italians use the expression ‘al fresco’ to mean ‘in the chill’ or ‘in the cool’. For example, when they want to convey keeping things in the right places, they’d say ‘keep the cheese al fresco’. But these words have also another meaning.
In Italian, the expression has a completely different meaning. ‘Al fresco’ literally means ‘in prison’! The reason why it means that is probably because in the past, prisons were very cold places with thick walls (‘fresco’ means ‘cold’).

All your blood vessels lined up in a row could go around the Earth twice
Blood vessels transport blood throughout the body. Did you know that if you lined up all the blood vessels in an average child, that line would be over 96,000 kilometres (60,000 miles) long? That’s more than twice the Earth’s circumference.



A fingernail grows back in about six months
Did you know that fingernails grow faster than toenails? A fingernail will grow back in four to six months, whereas a toenail can take up to 10 months to grow. Be patient!

The human eye can distinguish up to 10 million different colours
We’re constantly seeing TVs that boast better picture quality. Screens now display thousands of colours, and yet, it’s nothing compared to how many colours the human eye can actually distinguish, which is estimated to be about 10 million. It’s almost as if your eyes were made up of 63 high-definition cameras.

Billionares

Ingvar Kamprad
It shouldn’t be a surprise that the founder of IKEA knew the value of saving a few dollars. Despite having billions of dollars, Ingvar Kamprad did most of his clothes shopping at flea markets and even recycled tea bags for multiple uses. It’s no wonder that IKEA has become a go-to shopping spot for affordable furniture.



Warren Buffett
One of the richest men on earth, Warren Buffett lives a life much different than most people in their nineties. He consumes at least five cans of soda a day, has McDonald’s for breakfast, and has a love of steak and adding extra salt to his food. People much younger than him have tried to recreate this diet and felt sick doing so, so it’s a miracle he pulls it off at his old age. He’s also a renowned philanthropist, having given over US$35 billion to various charities.

That may be so but with a diet like that I'll wager old Warren has to squeeze a little harder than the rest of us when he sits down for a number 2.

An average person will sleep for 26 years in their lifetime
By the time you hit your 80s, you will have spent approximately 26 years—or the equivalent of one third of your life—sleeping. Even though many people consider sleep to be a waste of time, you need sleep to survive. It’s also when most brain development happens. Simply put, without sleep, you would die

How much of the world's Margarine used to be made of whale fat

1) 10%
2) 0 %
3) 17%


3

Americans consumed an estimated 6.3 billion gallons of beer in 2018, or about 26.2 gallons per drinking-age adult. For reference, 1 gallon is equal to about 8 pints. Beer consumption patterns are not uniform across the U.S., however, and in some states, residents are more likely to reach for a beer than in others.


4 The Queen;s name (of England) nickname is Gary

True
OR
False









ANSWER

3) 17%
Margarine was invented in 1869, just as whale oil was on the verge of falling out of use as a fuel. To simulate butter, margarine must contain some kind of fat. That might come from a variety of vegetable oils—as in most margarines today—or beef fat. But in the first half of the 20th century, since whale oil was “no longer needed for illumination” and a “large amount became available,” as one researcher wrote in the 1960s, most of the world’s supply was being whipped into a spreadable butter substitute.
Unilever became “the world’s largest purchaser of oils and fats,” Sandvik and Storli write. By 1935, 84 percent of the world’s whale oil was going directly into margarine. Unilever bought up all the whale oil that Norway produced, for instance, and sent it directly to its factories in Germany.

4 TRUE
According to Richard Kay, a high society gossip reporter for the Daily Mail, Prince William once fell down inside Kensington Palace as a child and called out for "Gary." When a member of the household staff asked who William was asking for, the Queen reportedly responded, "I’m Gary" as she picked him up to comfort him.

An unusual experiment in Botswana suggests that painting eyes on the rear ends of cows may help protect them from large predators like lions. Protecting cows could also wind up protecting the lions – from angry farmers.
WHY NOT

The McGillycuddy of the Reeks (Irish: Mac Giolla Mochuda) is the hereditary Chief of the Name of McGillycuddy, a family originating around MacGillycuddy's Reeks, a range of mountains (reeks) in County Kerry in Ireland.
The McGillycuddys were a cadet sept of the O'Sullivans who about 1600 adopted the surname Mac Giolla Chuda, anglicised into McGillycuddy. In legend, a seventh-century O'Sullivan Mór sent his trusted son, Mac Giolla, to be educated under the tutelage of Saint Mochuda at Lismore. He hence became known as O'Sullivan Mac Giolla Mochuda.

In the mid-20th century, in the early years of the BBC, the broadcaster forbade mention of the McGillycuddy of the Reeks on comedy variety programmes. The BBC Green Book of standards instructed: "Do not mention the McGillycuddy of the Reeks or make jokes about his name

Why would I do any of those things? Sometimes, you are a moron, doodoo. I really was interested in that information about the cows. It is a unique way to try and solve a problem.

Hope this helps
