With them being tested at all the time by an organisation called WICKED, they are thrown upon by many challenges but all hell breaks loose when there only protection , the walls, fail to close at night ,exposing them to the Greivers....

Movement in dead bodies!!!

Believe it or not but any body(but mostly studies human body) continues to show a few bodily functions even after death.Here are a few listed :

1)Brain Activity:
Even after the heart stops beating and you are pronounced dead, the human brain cells still continue to  scramble around for oxygen. This worsens the condition of the brain even if the heart is restored after sometime and it can be prevented using the correct drugs.
2)Skin growth:
The skin cells in the human body continue to grow even after death as loss of circulation of blood does not immediately kill them like brain cells.
3)Nail Growth:
Nothing can stop you from getting a hair spa or a manicure - even being dead, literally!!! After death the skin looses moisture and folds back thus revealing more nail and hair.
4)Muscle movement:
Who says the dead ain't got no rhythm!!!??? It is practically observed that human bodies show signs of movement like twitching, chest movement from breathing etc.
5)Vocalization:
Our body is a cylinder of gases which usually come out of the windpipe which is constricted due to the tightening of the muscles  after death, this combination results in eerie sounds like moans, groans and gasps from the dead body
6)Coffin Birth:
Well yes you just heard it damn right....
A lot of women dropped dead before they could give birth. Remember me telling you our body is a cylinder of gas?? that and the softening of the skin helps the new to-be-dead mother to expel the kid outwards which is termed as coffin birth.

So hope you can live the day without thinking about the dead much and enjoy your chicken before it walks away or yells at you!!!

Interesting But Still Boring!!

   We have always been fascinated by listening to a particle known as Antimatter. If you love chemistry a lot and you see the world around you as a periodic table then, every term that is disobeying the laws of chemistry you will fight all day with your friends and teachers till you don't get an answer that satisfies your never ending doubts.

   Now antimatter in short is nothing but just a particle that has electrons instead of protons and protons instead of electron. all other properties are same as that of an atom of the same element. The most amazing fact is that this antimatter is not man made, it's naturally made and that too on the Earth's atmosphere. When High-Energy cosmic rays impact on the Earth's atmosphere minute quantities of antimatter are formed but these react with the normal particles around it and annihilate.

   Even a big cloud of antimatter has also been found by INTEGRAL satellite. Results say that the cloud is asymmetrical and has the pattern of X-ray binaries i.e binary stars that illuminate in X-rays. These antimatter are also created artificially.

   The existence of antiproton was confirmed experimentally in 1995. It was not just an antiproton created on 1995, an antihydrogen was also created at CERN. They created 9 atoms of it. It consisted of a positron and an antiproton. It will cost you $62.5 trillion to prepare 1 gram of antihydrogen, as per NASA on 1999.

   Even though these particles are so expensive, it is said that these antimatter can be used for medical use, as a fuel and for creating nuclear weapons. On nuclear fission of 1 kg of antimatter, the energy produced is equal to the amount  of energy produced by 43 megatons of TNT which slightly less than the biggest ever man made bomb, Tsar Bomb.

Gadget That I Use The Most - The Mouse

   Whenever I think of gadgets, all I remember is of the mouse that makes my life!! I know its crazy but it's this mouse that helps you run through folders, play games and surf on the internet all day. The mouse with respect to me is like the Jerry from the cartoon "Tom And Jerry," small but mighty. Now some readers might be thinking that they prefer a track pad more than a mouse because that is what they used to in their everyday life, but the fact is that there are different types of mouses that are far more advanced than the  track pad.

   If you surf on the internet about mouses, you will seriously see the future right there. Like for example we have Scanner mouse, Flexible mouse, Cyborg R.A.T. mouse, Air mouse and many more. the most interesting one is the Odin Mouse, it's just a prototype till date and will be available on stores soon.

   The mouse starts it's journey as a trackball, which was a type of mouse that we don't get to see nowadays. It consisted of a trackball that used to rotate on moving it and point like normal mouses do. It was invented by Ralph Benjamin.

   Its this mice that evolved from a Mechanical Mouse to Optical and Laser Mouse (one that is used widely nowadays) t Inertial and Gyroscopic Mouse and so on. This mouse has really played an important role in my life in front of a PC and so to many of you. This is something that fills a silent room with it's 'tick-tick' sound and helped me reach this site too.

Is Education Worth Or Just Vain !!?

   "Can Sir Issac Newton discover gravity if he was not under that apple tree and was siting in some ordinary class just like we all do?" No. I personally feel every time when i sit in my class, that me and my friends could have invented some really cool stuffs for sure in young age if we were not educated within four walls and in front of these books with hundreds of pages.

   Even technology nowadays are so advanced that even young children too are smarter enough to trick their parents and if all these used in a proper way every student can invent something or the other like it used to be long time before. According to me from the 19th century inventions are less and all we do is just upgrading what all we are provided with. 

    I personally think that it's these books that bind us and make us upgrade inventions rather than inventing one ourselves. But at the same time it's these books that help us upgrade inventions too and if we can upgrade inventions more than the inventor himself/herself dreamed of, then we too can invent things more than anyone can dream of with these books, all we need to know is how to use this books for inventions instead of upgrading. 

   Like many inventors who spend most of their time with nature or carving their interests more and more. Every student must too be given the same opportunity to evolve their education into an all new invention and not let their education be just for evolving someone's else's invention.

A Lesson for Rolls Royce

Indian Maharajas are popular around the world for their filthy rich lifestyles. Now a dying breed, during the pre-independence era, Maharajas were people not to be messed with. And Rolls Royce, needless to say one of the world’s finest automobile companies, learned this the hard way.

 This is Maharaja Jai Singh of Alwar. Indian Maharaja Bought 7 Rolls Royce Cars And Used Them For Garbage Collection

 Back in 1920, the Maharaja, on a vacation to England casually walked into a Rolls Royce showroom. Since he was dressed very casually and didn’t have his escorts around, the salesman took him to be an Indian commoner and ignored his requests for a test drive. Indian Maharaja Bought 7 Rolls Royce Cars And Used Them For Garbage Collection Extremely furious with the treatment he was met with, he decided to teach Rolls Royce a lesson of a lifetime. As soon as he returned to his hotel, he asked for a revisit to the same showroom. His demand then, of course, was met with a red carpet welcome. The Maharaja then ordered a fleet of 7 different Rolls Royce cars to be shipped to his palace in India. Soon after the order, came the blow that went down in the history of Rolls Royce. 

Indian Maharaja Bought 7 Rolls Royce Cars And Used Them For Garbage Collection Along with the cars, he requested the same salesman who ignored him to accompany him to India. The same was done. Upon reaching his palace, right in front of the salesman, Maharaja ordered his men to use the super-expensive cars to be used for garbage collection. The cars then were used to collect garbage in Alwar for a one long month. The badass happening became worldwide news and Rolls Royce, apprehensive about getting its reputation tarnished, apologized to the maharaja in written.
