Think again people. Think again.

Its Deep Jungle Week now at National Geographic Channel. But, i missed most of the series. I didnt manage to find the time. BLEH.

There's a Deep Jungle Contest at NGC Asia. Tried my luck last week, hopefully i win. Eheh, i am so optimistic here. Not as usual. Heheh. Well, frankly i don't have a very good luck in terms of winning prizes and such. Throughout my life i only won a lucky draw once, and it was a night to remember.

Earlier, i hit the button to NGC Asia again. Just to kill time, i think i could find some interesting facts today. And indeed i did. Its NGC's new phrase -- THINK AGAIN. The animated banner at the homepage brought me to the Think Again page. I have to say it is interesting. There are some downloads, wallpapers and a screensaver. What intrigued me the most was the facts. Just a few of them, not too many where you can make a long list, but enough for you to simply think again. Click here and i will direct you to the page. Anyway, i really feel like sharing them, and here it goes..

1~ More people die annually from eating sharks than being eaten by sharks

2~ The tongue is one of the strongest muscles in the human body

3~ One of 10 people on earth is a Chinese farmer

4~ Dairy cows produce more milk when listening to classical music

5~ The air at the Everest summit is too thin to sustain a fire or fly a helicopter

6~ More people are killed annually by donkey and mules than in air crashes

7~ There are more atoms in a few drop of waters than stars in the universe

8~ The strawberry is a member of the rose family

9~ 75% of your brain is made of water

10~ In your lifetime you would probably swallow up to 10 spiders whilst sleeping

11~ In the Arctic, people use refrigerators to keep food from freezing

12~ It is very rare for a Venus Fly Trap to catch more than 3 insects its lifetime


Wohoho. There. It just makes you think again eh?
