Ever wonder why the title of this post reads: "Little is Lethal?" Have you explained hilarious answers to simple queries from a child whose knowledge revolves around the thing he/she sees? Or have tried to answer these words, "Ambot, unsa dagway sa? Wala man pud ko kabalo." Followed with a pretentious smile.
Sounds familiar, isn't it? Even how difficult or easy the question is, some of us, even all, does not know how to react with the question thrown to us. If the question is difficult we would oftenly say "ambot"; and if it is simple, or very simple, we would say, "chicken", then, hurriedly ask a classmate what's the answer. Haha
In this world, I have to admit that some of us are very curious about the environment around us. This 'environment' will lead us to formulate some questions due to our curiosity. (Even simple knowledge could be made. But always remember that simple knowledge could be fatal if you misinterpret or misunderstood it. In this blog, I will be breaking some of the informations that you already have stored in your minds. So sit back and feel free to comment and critique me if I uttered something wrong.
Did you know....
...that strawberries, raspberries and blackberries are NOT berries? They are stereotype as berries due to their "small edible fruit that are juicy, round or semi-oblong, brightly colored, sweet or sour flavor and does not have seeds," but botanically speaking they are not. Because, berries are produced from a single fruit for which the whole ovary wall ripens into an edible pericarp Strawberries are accessory fruits while blackberries and raspberries are aggregate fruits. The most common examples of botanical berry include bananas, tomatoes and grapes.
...that bamboos are NOT trees but rather a giant grass?
...that bananas are NOT trees but giant herbs?
...that when you drink alcohol without any food as its counterpart, you easily get drunk? It is because alcohol is readily absorb by the cells in the stomach's lining. So, in order to get rid of being drunk easily, foods are partnered with the liquor to slow down the absorption of these cells.
...that the sartorius is the longest muscle ever known?
...that the months July and August are the only two months that are named on the most influential emperor during the 8-44 B.C.? July for Julius Caesar and August for Augustus Caesar. The first six months are named after the Greek Gods and Goddesses. January named after Janus, the god of doors and gates; February named after Februalia, a time period when sacrifices were made to atone for sin; March named after Mars, the god of war; April from aperire, Latin for “to open” (buds), May named after Maia, the goddess of growth of plants and June from Junius, Latin for the goddess Juno. Furthermore, the last four months follows the Latin words. September from septem, Latin for “seven”; October from octo, Latin for “eight”; November from novem, Latin for “nine” and December from decem, Latin for “ten”. The last four months are named such because the earliest Latin calendar was only up to ten months and July and August was just added by the two emperors.
...that the tsunami that occurred in Japan last March 11 is one of the many tsunamis that hit the country? Basing on its geographical setting, Japan lies on four tectonic plates that when underwater earthquakes occur, it easily generates tsunami.
...that nerve cells does not undergo regeneration? Meaning, when a person experience amnesia, it is very hard for him to remember you anymore.
...that brain cells consume much more ATP (energy in the body) than any other cells in the body? So, if you are hungry you would definitely have a hard time studying because your brain cells find it hard to function normally.
...that string beans, bitter gourds, tomatoes and other stereotyped 'vegetables' are NOT really vegetables? They are called such because they are used in the kitchen. Again, botanically speaking, they are called fruits because they originate from flowers.
So much for now, I think I have to stop at this point first because I can't think of anything interesting cause my brain cells are now asking for ATPs. Meaning, I am already hungry.. Bye!
