Top Amazing Facts About the Human Brain

The brain is a complicated thing to understand, some scientists have spent their entire lives learning how the brain works. check out twenty amazing facts below!
1.    The Brain has a joke centre. Sometimes, patients with damaged frontal lobes are unable to ‘get’ jokes.
2.    You can’t hear phone conversations in noisy rooms – The brain can’t distinguish background noise from the voice on the phone.
3.    Yawning actually wakes you up – Yawning gets more air into the lungs, thus increasing oxygen to the brain.
4.    We’re hardwired to remember annoying songs – ‘Sequence recall’ to learn daily routines also lets songs get stuck in our heads.
5.    The brain uses less power than a refrigerator light – The brain uses 12 watts of power – 17% of the body’s energy.
6.    Frequent jet lag can damage memory – Stress hormones released during jet lag can damage the temporal lobe and memory.
7.    Altitude makes the brain see strange visions – Oxygen deprivation is likely to interfere with visual and emotional processing.
8.    Shoot-’em-up computer games aid multitasking – Shooting multiple enemies spreads your attention and means you’re constantly reacting to events.
9.    It is impossible to tickle yourself – The brain dulls expected sensations when we cause them ourselves.
10.  Brain sunlight makes you sneeze – Crossed wires in the brain stem send signals from the eye via the nose.
11.  The weight of the brain is about 1.36kg.
12.  The brain is made up of roughly 75% water.
13.  Your brain stops growing at age 18.
14.  Your brain uses 20% of the total oxygen in your body.
15.  Studies show that brain waves are more active while dreaming than when you are awake.
16.  Excessive stress has shown to alter brain cells, brain structure and brain function.
17.  The brain can live for 4 to 6 minutes without oxygen, and then it begins to die. No oxygen for 5 to 10 minutes will result in permanent brain damage.
18.  Reading aloud and talking often to a young child promotes brain development.
19.  A newborn baby’s brain grows about three times its size in the first year.
20.  The human brain is the fattest organ in the body and may consists of at least 60% fat.

FINALY BERMUDA TRIANGLE MYSTERY SOLVED...!!

Computer studies of ocean floors around the world, particularly the area known as The Bermuda Triangle, reveal evidence of massive methane explosions in the past. For years, believers in the paranormal, aliens, and other outlandish theories pointed to the the disappearance of ships and aircraft as an indicator of mysterious forces at work in the “Devil’s triangle.” Scientists have finally pointed the rest of us to a more plausible cause. The presence of methane hydrates indicates enormous eruptions of methane bubbles that would swamp a ship, and projected high into the air- take out flying airplanes, as well. Any ships caught within the methane mega-bubble immediately lose all buoyancy and sink to the bottom of the ocean. If the bubbles are big enough and possess a high enough density they can also knock aircraft out of the sky with little or no warning. Aircraft falling victim to these methane bubbles will lose their engines-perhaps igniting the methane surrounding...
