thats cool right on my friend:)

Did you know that a Timber wolf could run faster then a greyhound dog that they use for racing? A timber wolf can run up to 60 mph while a greyhound up to 45 mph its amazing uh? i use to own a 1/2 timber wolf and husky :) cheers its good to learn new things each day:) have a great day all :)

Coldest Temperatures Recorded Antarctica. -129 degrees F. WOW now that is cold uh lolllllllll

Learning new things is always fun for me!

If I don't learn at least one thing new every day the day is wasted.

Did you know turtles can breathe through their butts? Something new every day!

Now i do:) cheers i had to look that 1 up your right to air sacs back there too :) :) right on thanks

I am naturally ambidextrous.
Kinda takes the fun outta testin the brain in such a way.
Word puzzles and the wierd pictures at the srink....

hehe...yea the ones ya gotta say what ya see.....

I luv that stuff!!!!

It's not Sunday yet, but here is something else.

•
Short-horned grasshoppers have ears in the sides of the abdomen.

•
Long-horned grasshoppers and crickets have ears in the knee-joints of their front legs

Their ears are called tympana (sp).

I learn something new every day. I have to fill my time somehow.

Great post. I learned many new things.

Here's tidbit, not mine though.
One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors. (Plato)

cool cheers amazing things that people never thought about :)right on imagine if humans had ears in the stomach lolll we would be talking to the belly hahaha

The Space Shuttle - 17,500 mph

So how fast is 17,500 mph really? Try this experiment sometime while you’re on the thruway: Note the time and note where you are. For the next five minutes, watch and remember everything you pass. Keep in mind the whole distance and all the things you’ve passed during that five minutes. At the end of the five minutes, imagine going past all that stuff within the time it takes you to say "one steam engine". That’s how fast the shuttle goes. The space shuttle travels very quickly in space. In one hour, the shuttle can travel around the earth at 17,500 miles per hour. This will cause it to stay orbiting around the earth instead of falling towards the center because of the power of gravity. This fact amazes many people – isn’t it strange that it can travel so fast in space? This speed is simply incomprehensible while on the surface of the Earth.

SHATTER A GLASS:) A human voice can shatter a glass. Every object has a resonant frequency – the natural frequency at which something vibrates. Wine glasses, because of their hollow shape, are particularly resonant. If you run a damp finger along the rim of a glass, you might hear a faint, ghostly hum – the resonant frequency of the glass. Or you can simply tap the glass and hear the same frequency. To shatter the glass, a singer’s voice has to match that frequency, or pitch, and the glass must have microscopic defects.according to Jaime Vendera, a vocal coach who demonstrated his technique for the Discovery Channel in 2005. Conversational speech is normally around 50 decibels. A jackhammer operates at a loudness of about 90 decibels. The human threshold for pain comes at about 120 decibels. Highly trained opera singers can sustain notes above 100 decibels. But no matter how loud the sound, if the pitch doesn’t match the resonant frequency of the glass, the glass will reflect most of the energy and won’t break.

And the singer also needs to hold that note for at least two to three seconds for the vibration to build up enough to cause the glass to shatter. It helps to have the right kind of glass – a large one – with thin, nearly vertical sides. In the late 1970s, laboratory experiments with a professional soprano and a trumpet player showed that neither could shatter glass. The famed tenor singer Enrico Caruso was said to be able to do it, but his wife denied it.

If you try this at home, be sure to wear eye protection!

The Discovery Channel MythBusters show recruited Jaime Vendera for a demonstration and produced the first documented proof that an unassisted voice can shatter glass.

Well thank you my friend just thought it would be fun to see what people learn each day:) thanks for the tidbit:) cheers

I learn something new every day. If I don't I feel like I wasted a day away.

Great way to keep learning new things every day my friend cheers:)

There is More than 20,000 brands of beer:)

nice thread!

Yeah i love to learn new things. I wanna learn how to drive a racing car next. Like they do in Formula One. I love motorsports :)
