Mathematics And The Great Pyramid

image credit

Terrance Nevin says the Great Pyramid is a rational structure (in the mathematical sense), designed and built by normal people.
This is a radical statement about the Pyramid, especially on the internet because all web pages that I have been able to find that deal with the Pyramid, maintain that it was built and/or inspired by either God or space aliens. Most don't even consider that it could be a rational structure designed and built by normal people.

Mosquitoes Pick Out Human Meals With Help From Microbes

Mosquitoes like some people better than others, and differences in the microbes living on our skin may help explain the bloodsuckers' dining preferences. It turns out men with a large variety of microbes living on their skin make for less attractive meals for the African malaria-carrying mosquito. The mosquito instead appears drawn to men whose skin bacteria are relatively similar to each other.

The logic behind the effect is simple: Odors from human skin are essential cues that guide mosquitoes to our skin, and the microbes living on our skin play an important role in producing these odors. In fact, without skin bacteria, human sweat would be odorless to the human nose.

The Cretto Di Burri


In 1968, the hillside town of Gibellina was devastated by a 6.1-scale earthquake. Somewhat like the residents of Noto, who befell a similar fate, the town decided to abandon the ruins and start from scratch in a location which was close by, and hopefully more stable.

Between 1985 and 1989, a Sicilian artist named Alberto Burri used the old city's ruins as the canvas for his most audacious work of modern sculpture. The resulting concrete cemetery is a bold piece of art, a comment on death, and a moving tribute to the devastated city.

Szopka Competition - A Colorful Polish Tradition

image credit

The beginning of December each year sees the transformation of Rynek GlĆ³wny (Main Market Square) in the Polish city of Krakow, into a beautiful Christmas market. Arts and crafts, ceramics, sweets and more are put up for sale. The szopka, a crĆØche competition, is of course the major event.

CrĆØche masters from around Poland and other parts of the world display their szopki at the history museum in the Krzysztofory Palace. The szopka is a traditional Polish folk art that has its origins in the Middle Ages. The szopki depict the Wawel Cathedral, which is a part of Krakow's Wawel Castle with a Nativity scene set inside its doors. Some of the models are as small as 6 inches while others are around 6 feet high.

12 Countries Where Penguins Are Native

image credit

Penguins are a group of aquatic, flightless birds living almost exclusively in the southern hemisphere, especially in Antarctica. Although all penguin species are native to the southern hemisphere, they are not found only in cold climates, such as Antarctica. In fact, only a few species of penguin live so far south.

Several species are found in the temperate zone, and one species, the GalƔpagos Penguin, lives near the equator. The territory of Antarctica is not on the list, because Antarctica is not a country.

Palermo's Chinese Palace


On the northern end of the Parco della Favorita is one of Palermo's strangest buildings: a large and fully decorated Chinese palace. Built in 1799 for King Ferdinand III, during the height of the European craze for all things Oriental, the palace is jarringly out-of-place in the Sicilian capital.

The palace consists of three floors, each decorated with Chinese patterns, writing, or frescoes of pastoral Chinese life. Although the focus was Chinese, there are Italian elements as well; one room is done entirely in the style of Pompeii, painted in the deep red identified with the destroyed city.

Maybe it's the exciting 'who done it novels,' Hollywood's thrilling portrayal of harrowing adventures, perhaps it's James Bond's iconic style and swagger, or simply all the cool gadgets; but everyone loves a good spy. We all love the dashing spy saving the world from some grim disaster or thwarting the evil genius of a madman.

But is that how the spy game really goes down? Those electrifying plots and suave characters had to be based on some reality, right? Well in this super secretive world of smoke and mirrors, nothing is as it seems. You decide for yourself, here is a list of the Top 7 Coolest Real Spies.

Are Pigeons As Smart As Monkeys?

image credit

Pigeons may not be so bird-brained after all, as scientists have found the birds' ability to understand numbers is on par with that of primates. Previous studies have shown that various animals, from honeybees to chimpanzees, can learn to count when trained with food rewards.

In 1998, researchers discovered that rhesus monkeys can not only learn to count to four, but can also pick up on numerical rules and apply them to numbers they haven't seen before, allowing them to count up to nine without further training. With this finding in mind, psychologists at the University of Otago, in New Zealand, sought to find out if pigeons have a numerical competence similar to rhesus monkeys.

The Chinese Town That Turns Your Old Christmas Tree Lights Into Slippers

A single strand of burnt-out Christmas lights weighs almost nothing in the hand. But a bale of burnt-out Christmas tree lights weighs around 2200 pounds, according to Raymond Li, the general manager of Yong Chang Processing, a scrap metal processor in the southern Chinese town of Shijiao.

The huge volume was nothing unusual for Shijiao, the world capitol for recycling the old, unwanted Christmas tree lights that Americans throw away every year. Yong Chang recycles around 2.2 million pounds and Li estimates that Shijiao is home to at least nine other factories that import and process similar volumes. Combined, the factories process in excess of 20 million pounds annually.

Dead Sea Salt Formations

The Dead Sea's salinity of 33.7 percent makes it 8.6 times saltier than the ocean. Bordering Israel, the West Bank and Jordan, it is also the lowest place on land on Earth. A tourist hotspot for millennia, more than 1 million visitors a year visit on the Israeli and Palestinian side alone.

The view from the shore is one thing, but from the air, the sheer strangeness of the salt formations in and around the lake become readily apparent.

How does Santa deliver so many presents in a single night? How does he do it all without being seen? How does he know if I've been good or bad? How does he know what I want? Is Santa really immortal? How does he read so many wish lists? Questions, questions.

The Santa questions start firing at you before your kids turn five. The good news is, there are perfectly reasonable answers to the many questions relating to his annual mission. The bad news: The science involved is typically beyond the mental reach of the average six year old. But follow this simple guide, and explain Santa's magical mission with science and technology.

A Brief History Of Santa

Santa Claus, also known as Saint Nicholas, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, and simply 'Santa,' is a figure with legendary, mythical, historical and folkloric origins who, in many western cultures, is said to bring gifts to the homes of the good children during the late evening and overnight hours of Christmas Eve, December 24.

The modern figure was derived from the Dutch figure of Sinterklaas, which in turn, may have part of its basis in hagiographical tales concerning the historical figure of gift giver Saint Nicholas.

Located in the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, the Guangxi Medicinal Plants Botanical Garden was founded in 1959 by the region's health department. The garden contains over 2,400 species of medicinal plants.

Vogue picture records are phonograph records on the Vogue label which have a picture embedded in the transparent vinyl of the record. The illustrations on each side of the record are usually related to the title of the song on that side. Many of the illustrations are mushy romantic themes.

Vogue picture records were produced by Sav-Way Industries of Detroit, Michigan. The first 10-inch Vogue picture record was released to the public in May 1946. Production ceased less than a year later in April 1947, with Sav-Way entering into receivership in August 1947. During this time, approximately seventy-four different 10-inch Vogue picture records were released.

Men Spend More Time Getting Ready Than Women

Men spend more time getting ready to go out than women, according to research carried out for Travelodge. On average men spend 81 minutes a day on personal grooming, including cleansing, toning and moisturising, shaving, styling hair and choosing clothes, the study found. Women have their beauty regime down to a fine art and get hair, clothes and make-up done in just 75 minutes.

The research found that on an average morning men spend 23 minutes in the shower, compared to 22 minutes for women. Men then take 18 minutes on their shaving regime, compared to 14 minutes for women despite them having to trim legs, armpits and bikini line. Men take a minute longer - 10 minutes - on cleansing, toning and moisturising.
