General Knowledge

[halhoula]

Hi everyone ... Here is what this thread is about, general knowledge is something we all need in our every day life, in our studies and jobs as well. So i suggest that everyone of us share something he knows that is kind of weird and that could be fun. Then we will all enrich our knowledge in a fun way.
I'll start:

In India there is a certain tribe called "the Raika" this tribe worships camels and the tribesman think that their gods told them that by serving the camels they wil actually be able to survive.

I once read that people have never eaten tomatoes before...they thought it was extremely poisoning and could cause stomach cancer and cerebral fever...some used it as an ornemental plante. It was only when Colonel Robert Johnson defied the whole world and ate a full basket of tomatoes in front of a screaming and horrified crowd, that people actually started eating it...His doctor warned him, saying: "your mouth will foam, and an appendix crisis will kill you so much it'll hurt...with all this acid, you're definetly a dead man".

hydras are immortal animals, it's an animal a few millimeter tall, it does not age, if you slice it in 2 pieces, each piece forms a new hydra, if you slice it to a hundred piece, each cell will make another hydra

there is also a type of jellyfish(I forgot its name) that each time it reaches a old age, it becomes an infant again, and this cycle could go one forver(so kamen no aging)

Simone de Beauvoire and Jean paul sartre (2 great french philosophers)lived together without any legal or religious marriage for a lifetime(all their lives) they used to "cheat " on each other, he goes out with other women she goes out with other men, and they knew about this, and they were both fine with it because to them it's just for passing time and fun and it does not threaten the love they have for each other

"What we have," he said early on to De Beauvoir, "is an essential love; but it is a good idea for us also to experience contingent love affairs."

you'll tell me it's unethical, w maba3ref chou. but they were happy, no rules, no one hurt, no pleasures denied, you only live once this is a powerful trust

The word abracadabra isA magical word of medieval times to rid illness, misfortune and demons, from the Jewish mystical tradition of Qabala. Its root is the name of the gnostic deity Abraxas, meaning "hurt me not"

women live longer on average than men, but the chance of giving birth to a boy is higher than the chance of giving birh to a girl
it's nature's way of compensating the death of us poor guys

so technicaly some guys are born with no girls to balance their existence, so they either need to wait for some guy to die to take his woman or spend their lives alone
