Your nose produces around 4 CUPS of snot each day

 


The normal amount of mucus and fluids produced by a nose in room temperature is 32 ounces per day! Your body produces all those fluids to help filter and warm up the air that you take in. While some of those fluids leave your body by, say sneezing, most if it doesn't. Guess where most of it goes? It falls to the back of your throat and you swallow it. This means that, in a way, we are all designed to eat our boogers!

There is a whole forest in Poland with crooked trees

 
A forest in poland that consists of about 400 pine trees, grows with a 90 degree bend at the base of each trunk!
Today this is still a mystery but recent studies indicate that the bending is caused because of human mechanical intervention. In other words, farmers wanted to have these trees but nobody knows why they did. The pine trees still lie today outside the village of Czarnowo, in western Poland.

50 year old man dies of laughter



Alex Mitchell, a of 50-year-old builder of King’s Lynn, England, literally died laughing while he was watching an episode of The Goodies. After twenty minutes of continuous laughter Mitchell finally collapsed on the sofa and died.  


Above is the scene that actually caused him to laugh to death.


More cases: 

  • In 1989, Ole Bentzen, a Danish audiologist, died laughing while watching A Fish Called Wanda. His heart was estimated to have beaten at between 250 and 500 beats per minute, before he succumbed to cardiac arrest.[18]
  • In 2003, Damnoen Saen-um, a Thai ice cream salesman, is reported to have died while laughing in his sleep at the age of 52. His wife was unable to wake him, and he stopped breathing after two minutes of continuous laughter. He is believed to have died of either heart failure or asphyxiation.

There's an Obama Fried Chicken(OFC) in China !?
The image of President Barack Obama as Colonel Sanders advertising a fried chicken restaurant would immediately be flagged as unacceptably racist, but that seems to be exactly what has popped up in Beijing. The Daily Mail reports that “Obama Fried Chicken,” complete with the President in suspenders and bow tie and the slogan, “We’re so cool, aren’t we?”
