One new thing every day 

Which came first: chicken or egg

It's scientifically proven that  chicken came first. Yes, let's see how. Dr. Colin L Freeman from Sheffield university said that  to form an egg, it requires a protein called Ovocleidin-17 which exists only in the ovaries of chicken, using this protein chicken produce 6 grams of egg shell daily by going through a process called crystallization. This proves that chicken came first and later the egg.  

history of most common word: o.k

In 1825, for the first time Great Britain built a railroad between Stockton and Darlington. A person named Oscar Kelly started a courier service between those stations. He  use to transfer document boxes here and there with his name written on it. As the number of boxes were increasing the people started making it a short form as O.K and conforms with a thumb sign as "24 boxes ok". That's how the word O.K got in use. There are many more stories. But I heard this interesting one from a film director  Puri Jagannadh. 

bob marley song: No Woman No cry

Do you know the lyrics was not written by Bob Marley it is Vincent Ford. Bob got inspired from his lyrics and made a song. Actual lyrics is "No woman Nuh cry" means woman please don't cry. We all thought it is no woman no cry even me before knowing this story. Vincent wrote this lines as a mother cries when his son was beaten and taken away by the police saying Vincent  I can hear her pain.  So, please listen the entire lyrics which explains a lot more saying that as politics messed up everything in our lives, but everything's gonna be all right (in the follow up lyrics). Such a great song but we just remember the "No woman nuh cry" that too wrongly. 

Wu Wei : A Chinese Theory 

Wu Wei means Non Doing (doing nothing). It came from Daoism philosophy. Being idle by doing nothing it doesn't imply being lazy. It tells do the work effortlessly which mean don't do the work for the sake of doing or doing something just to complete. Do Your work with a peace and enjoy what you do with full concentration and flow (Effortless action or actionless action). If you want to learn Wu Wei start with painting. Your action of work must be effortless and not worried of time or unfinished. But once its complete you realize it is the most beautiful one. Wu Wei. 

Argonne Anti-jet-Lag diet 

Its a great diet developed by army people to avoid jet lags during travel. To do this, we need to start this diet 4 days before the travel. On Day 1:  Feast, high Protein breakfast, high carbohydrate food for lunch and dinner. Single strong coffee in the evening. Day 2: Fast, Everything is lite (salad, soup, fruits etc.) and single strong coffee in the evening. Day 3: Feast, Day 4: Fast. Similar to above. In flight if you are travelling to west drink coffee in the morning, if you're travelling to east drink coffee in the evening this gives a great energy once you get landed. This diet helps  when you planned any meetings immediate to the landing.  

Greatest scam of all times

In 1889 a wrought iron lattice tower was built in Paris which is Eiffel tower designed by Gustave Eiffel. This was built for celebrating French revolution and display French industries reputation whole over the world. Now its called "Love of symbol". Coming to the point In 1925, Victor Lustig a French govt official who invites all iron scrap industries for a meeting and announces that because of some engineering's fault the Eiffel tower is getting dismantled so you all can make the bids for the scrap iron. A big company won the bid and next day the company is about to dismantle but found Lustig is con man who is not even from France and made a scam. This was the worlds biggest scam in those days. The story is not over yet, after a year Lustig returned to Paris saying yes the govt decided to dismantle last year but due to a con artist the project got delayed and now you all can make bidding, this time the bidding went double and Lustig escaped with double money. Biggest Con artist with biggest scam.

Why do helium gas change our voice 

We find in few television shows where they inhale the helium gas and immediately the voice change occurs, this happens because after inhale of helium gas the air flow between the vocal chords increases than normal. So if there is high frequency words it reacts high and low frequency words it reacts low. Similarly if you consume sulfur hexafluoride the air flow decreases than normal and you might experience a slow motion flow of your words, feels like video at 0.25x speed.  Consuming of any of above gases at a limit is fine, but if you consumes heavily it might lead to death because the helium gas makes you to release twice the oxygen than normal and reverse happens with sulfur hexafluoride which leads to asphyxia.

Sensory specific satiety 

Why we always have a room for the desert even after eating until we are full. Actually the stomach is not completely full most of the time. It's actually your interest towards that specific food makes you feel full. Your brain starts saying I've enough of that food, I need something else. This is what sensory specific satiety mean. This was an experiment done with same kind of food in huge quantity and varieties of food in smaller quantities. People eat more when you find variety. So even after eating a whole lot food, the desert makes you tempt to at least taste. Sensory specific satiety is amazing in help us eat healthier food, but it sometimes back fire in buffets.  

Do you know how MRI works

Modern MRIs are basically a water map made from radio emissions from your body. So, its like the nuclei in atom inside the water in your body points in certain directions like arrows all around (just like compass). This is called spin. The magnets in MRI machines spins the water molecules in your body and by then that they detect and understand or form this water maps.  @Celoabram.
