Yellow = Joy, gladness
Orange = Enthusiasm, desire
Red & yellow blend = Gaiety, joviality
Pale blended tones = Sociability, friendship
An ant can lift 50 times its own weight-which is as much of a feat for them as lifting a car would be for you!!
Ants dont have lungs.They breathe through tiny holes in their sides called spiracles.
Termites use soil and saliva to make cement towers that reach up to 20 feet tall.
Black widow spiders are armed with venom that is 15 times more poisonous that the venom of a prarie rattlesnake.Why do we call them black widow??Because the female sometimes eats the smaller male after mating!!
Komodo dragon`s mouth are full of disease causing bacteria.When they bite their prey,the victim gets sick and slowly dies of blood poisoning.Then the lizard returns after this has happened to eat the body.
The deepest part of any ocean is the Marianas Trench,located just west of the Philippines in the Pacific Ocean.It`s depth is 35,840 feet-almost 7 miles.That greater that the height of the tallest mountain on Earth!!
Trillions of bacteria and other tiny organisms live happily in your body.Right now,there are probably about two million bacteria living on your face alone.
The human head contains 22 bones.
Your lungs are made up of about 300 million tiny air sacs called aveoli.If the could be laid flat,they would cover an area about the siza of a tennis court.
Carrots do contain lots of vitamin A,which helps keep your eyes healthy,but eating more than the recommended daily amount can`t make your vision better.
The planet Jupiter is so big that all the other planets in the solar system could fit inside it at the same time.

Still image from the first video of a live adult giant squid, filmed on December 4, 2006 by researchers from the National Science Museum of Japan led by Tsunemi Kubodera. But some scientist believe that there is more bigger and larger than thing... the evidence is that the big scars cause of its tentacles they saw ones in a big whale.. a tremendous fight deep deep deep in the ocean..

-----------------------------------------OGLE, NewPlanet???---------------------------------------
This planet is actually the first and only planet that has been discovered so far that is in agreement with the theories for how our solar system formed...The planet is five times the mass of Earth, but it's still considered the smallest and coolest ever detected outside of the solar system, according to the scientists. It circles a red parent star, which is five times smaller than the Sun, in about 10 years. Because the parent star is cool and within a large orbit, scientists believe OGLE's surface is icy and too cold for liquid water at an estimated 220 degrees Centigrade below zero.

--------------------------Resurrecting The Most Deadly Virus In Human History-------------------
To Stop It From Killing Tens Of Millions Again
"The Immune Response Is Contributing To The Lethality Of The Virus"
Another report on the ressurection of the 1918 'Spanish Flu' virus, and how experiments on infecting monkeys with the 'reborn' H1N1 virus have revealed the truth lethality of the flu that killed 40 to 60 million people in 1918-1919.
Basically, the researchers now assume that the way the monkeys were consumed by the virus is pretty close to how humans succumbed to it.
The first signs of infection appear within 24 hours of exposure, the immune system goes into overdrive to fight the virus, but end up filling the lungs with blood and fluid. On top of all the other terrible ways the H1N1 destroys the human body, the victim ends up, literally, drowning on their own blood.
creepy... isnt it??
