well hello there

HEY, I have had a LOT of viewers over the times i was not posting.  So now..... HERE ARE TODAY'S FACTS

What on Earth were these people thinking?!

Too Dumb to Be a Thief
The police had no trouble finding this thief. When he used a stolen credit card to buy some cigars, he signed his own name on the receipt. Later he tried to buy some merchandise at a store, but the card came up as stolen. When asked for some identification, he presented his own driver's license.

WERE BACK ONLINE (YESSSSSS)

Hey everyone! If you missed the blog, then miss no more.  I'm BACK!!!! The Fact Files is back online after a HUGE crash on the network.  I will be posting again starting TODAY!!!! Again, sorry for the wait, and once more

IM BAAAAAAAAAAACK

HEY! It's a new week, our SECOND (wait, third?) week on blogger,and the site has gone through a LOT of changes, you can do SO much with blogger, but there are limits to what you can do with ALL the stuff you can do.  As you know, some of the stuff on the tabs aren't working, like the newletter subscription, that's why if you want to subscribe to the posts, just click on the google connect button.

Todays fact is about ducks, why? Because I have a neat video i want to show you that goes with ducks.

---

Ducks were once wild until they were domesticated by the Chinese many hundreds of years ago.

Ducks keep clean by preening themselves with their beaks, which they do often. They also line their nests with feathers plucked from their chest.

Ducks' feathers are waterproof. There is a special gland that produces oil near the tail that spreads and covers the outer coat of feathers. Beneath this waterproof layer are fluffy and soft feathers to keep the duck warm.

Ducks provide us with eggs, meat and feathers.

Ducks' feet have no nerves or blood vessels. This means ducks never feel the cold, even if they swim in icy cold water.

A duck waddles instead of walking because of its webbed feet.

Man Week Day 7

DAY 7

Well, Man week is over, and I hope you enjoyed the facts, we'll get back to our regular daily facts tomarrow, but i just want to end Man Week off with THIS fact:

All men are extremely busy.
Although they are so busy, they still have time for women.
Although they have time for women, they don't really care for them.

Although they don't really care for them, they always have one around.

Although they always have one around them, they always try their luck with others.

Although they try their luck with others, they get really pissed off if the woman leaves them.

Although the woman leaves them they still don't learn from their mistakes and still try their luck with others.
Women:


The most important thing for a woman is financial security.

Although this is so important, they still go out and buy expensive clothes and stuff.

Although they always buy expensive clothes, they never have something to wear.
Although they never have something to wear, they always dress beautifully.

Although they always dress beautifully, their clothes are always just "an old rag".

Although their clothes are always "just an old rag", they still expect you to compliment them.

Although they expect you to compliment them, when you do, they don't believe you.

Some Facts About Exercise

Some facts about exercise:

1. There is no difference between stronger, larger, and firmer muscles. Those three go hand in hand. It is simply untrue that one kind of exercise will build a different kind of muscle than another. The only three variables you can influence with any type of exercise are: muscle mass, muscle shape, and the amount of body fat.
2. Each pound of muscle (1 pound = 0.45 kilograms) burns 75-100 calories every day simply by being.
3. A pound of body fat stores 3500 calories.
4. Your muscles do not grow during exercise. Exercise is only the stimulus. The body strengthens the muscles while you are resting.
5. The amount of rest needed in order for muscles to grow depends on their current size. The larger it is, the more it needs to rest. Gym beginners should rest at least two days between exercise. After a year in the gym you should probably rest three days. And so on. By exercising every day you are hurting your body and retarding muscle growth!
6. The only way that you can know that you have stimulated the muscles enough is to train to failure. If, after some number of repetitions, the muscle is unable to move for 15 seconds even though you are willing it to, then you know that you have  provided maximum stimuli.
7. Your body doesn't care if you muscle failed after five repetitions of an exercise or after 50. Use the weight that allows you to do 4-8 repetitions for maximum safety and time efficiency. And there is no reason to do more than one set.
8. You can hurt yourself during exercise if you apply excessive force to your muscles. The force when lifting a weight is F = m*(a + g), where m is the mass of the weight, a is the acceleration, and g is the force of gravity. Mass usually doesn't vary greatly. If you can lift 100 pounds 10 times, the max you can lift once is 133 pounds. A 33 percent  increase. However, people who use quick, jerky movements experience the acceleration differences of over 400 percent. So work very slowly. Raise the weight for ten seconds and lower it for ten seconds.
9. There is a myth that says that "aerobic" exercise is good for you heart. But if you keep breaks during exercise very short (~ 1 minute), your pulse should be at 120-180, exactly what people try to achieve with "aerobic" exercise.

Man Week begins TODAY

day 1

We start off this week with a very interesting observation.  What is the smelliest body part on a man? Now some people would say their armpits (well, most people actually) and some people would say their feet (not very many though).  Well, the truth is, it’s a matter of opinion, some people say the scalp is the smelliest part on a man.  Well here is the top 3 smelliest parts of a man.

1. THE GROIN

The pubic area is an odor hot spot. It is warm, sweaty and has a good amount of glands and hair follicles. It is prone to infections, particularly in the vagina. It rarely gets exposed to the open air and is often covered over with synthetic unbreathable clothing that traps moisture and bacteria.

BO Busters

• Use fragrance-free cornstarch powder to keep the area dry


• Wear natural fiber or wicking clothing


• Go commando when you can


• Avoid covering up odor with perfumes, which don't kill the odor-causing bacteria

2. THE UNDERARMS

This area is the first place we think of when we think of body odor. It has a dense patch of hair and is loaded with sweat glands. People of European or African descent have many apocrine sweat glands, and East Asians have fewer.

BO Busters

• Use underarm deodorants that contain alcohol or other agents that kill bacteria or rub a crystal rock deodorant composed of mineral salts


• Use an antiperspirant which reduces moisture (Tip: apply antiperspirants at night when you sweat less for maximum absorption into pores)


• Shave, wax or laser underarm hair


• Avoid using harsh body soaps that wash away the natural barrier that protects against bacterial growth


• Avoid masking over odors with synthetic fragrances

3. THE FEET

It's no wonder that feet smell. As soon as man donned shoes to better traverse the terrain, we prevented the evaporation of a quart of sweat released from thousands of sweat glands each day. Closing up the feet creates a dark, moist, warm environment that bacteria love.

BO Busters

• Wear socks made of cotton or other wicking material that can absorb perspiration


• Use dehydrating foot powder and footpads that contain activated charcoal that absorbs odor


• Use a tea soak 30 minutes every day for a week to allow tea tannins to constrict sweat pores


• Go barefoot or wear open sandals when you can


• Try adding a few drops of essential oils such as tea tree, sage and clove to a footbath containing arrowroot and baking soda


• Rub some rubbing alcohol on feet at bedtime

Here is a cool science experiment the YOU can do at home

Frozen Bubbles

 

The sad thing about soap bubbles is that they don’t last very long. Here is an idea how you can preserve them for a bit, at least if it’s cold enough outside.

First you need to create a beautiful soap bubble and then you need to keep it alive long enough for it to freeze. That can be done out in the cold or – if you have access to it – with the help of dry ice. If you have space in your freezer that might work as well.

Bubbles

A soap bubble is a very thin film of soapy water that forms a sphere with an iridescent surface. Soap bubbles usually last for only a few moments before bursting, either on their own or on contact with another object. They are often used for children's enjoyment, but they are also used in artistic performances. Soap bubbles can help solve complex mathematical problems of space, as they will always find the smallest surface area between points or edges

Dry Ice Bubbles

Materials

• Bubble Solution (from the store or make your own)
• Dry Ice
• Gloves (for handling the dry ice)
• Glass Box or Cardboard Box

Procedure

1. Using gloves to protect your hands, place a chunk of dry ice in the bottom of glass bowl or cardboard box. Glass is nice because it's clear.
2. Allow about 5 minutes for carbon dioxide gas to accumulate in the container.
3. Blow bubbles down into the container. The bubbles will fall until they reach the layer of carbon dioxide. They will hover at the interface between air and carbon dioxide. The bubbles will start to sink as the bubbles cool and the carbon dioxide replaces some of the air within them. Bubbles that come into contact with the dry ice chunk or fall into the cold layer at the bottom of the container will freeze! You can pick them up for closer examination (no gloves needed). The bubbles will thaw and eventually pop as they warm.
4. As the bubbles age, their color bands will change and they will become more transparent. The bubble liquid is light, but it is still affected by gravity and is pulled to the bottom of a bubble. Eventually, the film at the top of a bubble becomes so thin that it will open and the bubble will pop.

Explanation

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is heavier than most of the other gases present in air (normal air is mostly nitrogen, N2, and oxygen, O2), so most of the carbon dioxide will settle to the bottom of the aquarium. Bubbles filled with air will float on top of the heavier carbon dioxide. Here's a tutorial for calculating molecular mass, just in case you want to prove this for yourself!

Notes

Adult supervision is recommended for this project. Dry ice is cold enough to give frostbite, so you need to wear protective gloves when handling it.

Also, be aware that extra carbon dioxide is added to the air as dry ice vaporizes. Carbon dioxide is naturally present in air, but under some circumstances, the extra amount can present a health hazard.

Cold Bubbles

At HowStuffWorks they tell you how to do it with just cold weather.

Fact of the day

The most dangerous animal in the world is the common housefly. Because of their habits of visiting animal waste, they transmit more diseases than any other animal.

It's a week dedicated to ALL men out there, we cover the good stuff, like shaving, technology, sports and MORE.  It's a week dedicated to MEN, so don't miss it!!!!.

During good sex, endorphins are released, which are powerful painkillers. So headaches are in fact a bad excuse not to have sex

Cats playing pattycake

What you thought was impossible, IS possible.  CATS PLAYING PATTYCAKE

It's the COOLEST thing

Well, it's Friday, so here's a BUNCH of facts for you ENJOY!!!

It is physically impossible for pigs to look up into the sky.

More than 50% of the people in the world have never made or received a telephone call.

TRY THIS AT HOME

If you have an indoor cat, then this trick will work for YOU.  Next time your cat uses the litter box, turn off the light.  The room must be in total darkness for this to work.  After your cat is done, shine a flashlight on the litter box, if done properly (and if the cat pee'd) it's urin should glow in the light. COOL HUH!!!

Did you know?

Well, this is my FIRST post, so here we go.

The first woman to rule a country as an elected leader in the modern era was Sirimavo Bandaranaike of Sri Lanka, who was elected as prime minister of the island nation in 1960 and later re-elected in 1970
