Things I Did Not Know. Did You? Part Two.

Things I Did Not Know. Did You? Part Two.

People who follow my blog or drop by occasionally, know that I vary the content. I have been holding onto the following interesting facts.. Now that the Canadian and U.S. Independence Day festivities are over, these seemed like a good way to kick-off this week.

The World's Quietest Room

That's what scientists at Orfield Labs in Minneapolis found by studying how subjects react in their anechoic chamber. It holds the Guinness World Record.

Our Bodies Are Full of Bacteria

According 'to' the National Institutes of Health's Human Microbiome Project there's enough to fill a large soup can. The bacteria cells in our body outnumber human cells 10 to 1. Is it any wonder we get sick?
Dogs Are Smart As A Two Year Old

My twelve year old Black Lab/Bernese Mountain understands more words, tone of voice and gestures than any of my previous<b> dogs. </font></b>I should have trained her as a therapy to visit hospitals and nursing homes.

Many People Have A Built-In Alarm Clock

Apparently, from the optic nerve, light travels to the SCN, signaling the internal clock that it is time 'to' be awake. The SCN signals to other parts of the brain that control hormones, body temperature and other functions that play a role in making us feel sleepy or awake. Seems if I think about having to wake up at a certain time, I automatically do. It's happened also when friends mention they need to be up at a certain hour.

An Octopus Has Blue Blood

Their blood is this colour because they use an oxygen-carrying molecule in their blood that contains copper.

Swans Usually Mate for Life

Swans usually mate for life, although “divorce” sometimes occurs, particularly following nesting failure, and if a mate dies, the remaining swan will take up with another. Below is a picture I took of a swan guarding her nest.

Any surprise you?

I didn't know about the amount of bacteria in the human body. I knew we carry all sorts, but not as much as we do!
I read about the anechoic room years ago. I also read that most people can't stay in there for very long. The absolute lack of sound apparently is not something the average person can tolerate and they can only stay in the room a few seconds to a few minutes.

Hmmmm....I know I left that wand around here somewhere!

Thanks for stopping by and providing the additional information 😊

I have the built in alarm clock. My Shih Tzu knows the names of my other 2 dogs. If I say their name she looks at them. If I tell her to give me a kiss she gets on the corner of the bed where I can lean over and kiss her. All my dogs know the words "sticks" and " outside”.

Did not know but the Built-In Alarm Clock I kinda knew of. What I want to know now is how to reset it. 5 am is getting to be a pain.

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

All of my dogs have been smart and intuitive. It's amazing how they read our emotions. Tomorrow, I have to take Molly to the vet. Without saying it she will know and get so frigging excited.

Years of getting up at 5:30 am and it happens to me on weekends with no alarm clock set. I have respect for people that work rotating shifts!

I had a German Shepherd that if you said "squirrel" he would run to the front window and look both ways. If you said "grandma" he'd go to the same window but only look in the direction that she came from.

I knew about swans.

Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

My Shepherd was sweet and gentle but looked intimidating. Molly has a range of facials expressions and loves everyone. Did you know wolves, beavers and penguins also mate for life? Thanks for stopping by.

It’s often a bit of ‘hit and miss’ but always fun when people learn something new. Enjoy the rest of your Tuesday 😊

Great facts that I did not know. I knew about the bacteria and the swans.
My 13 1/2 year old shih tzu knows way too much.

You may have noticed that I love sharing assorted 'facts'. If they are interesting to me, than I think others may find them that way too. I totally understand what you mean about your Shih Tzu but we wouldn't have it any other way
