Weird Fish With Transparent Head : Macropinna microstoma
Even the phrase “seeing is believing” is not enough when looking at this astonishing fish! Meet Macropinna microstoma, commonly known as the “barreleye”. Barreleye fish have a transparent head like a fighter-plane cockpit with large internal eyes that are able to look upward. Living at depths of 600 to 800 meters below the surface, these ultra-sensitive eyes help these fish search for the faint silhouettes of prey overhead.

Roll clouds are just one of the weird weather phenomenon that can happen when winds go wild.
Roll clouds are a type of arcus cloud, which is a category of low cloud formations. Sinking cold air causes warm, moist air on the planet’s surface to climb to higher altitudes, where the moisture condenses into cloud form.

Lena Pillars. Russia, the Lena River.
Lena Pillars (Russian: Ленские столбы [Lenskiye Stolby]) is the name given to a natural rock formation along the banks of the Lena River in far eastern Siberia. The pillars are 150 to 300 metres (490 to 985 feet) high, and were formed 80 million years ago from Cambrian era sea-basin. This unique ecological and tourism location was submitted as a World Heritage site in 2006. Lena Pillars National Park lies less than a day’s boat ride upriver (south) from the city of Yakutsk, the autonomous capital of the Sakha Republic.

Do Fruits and Veggies Make You More Attractive? 
Eating More Fruits and Vegetables Adds More Red and Yellow Tones to Skin Within 6 Weeks, Study Suggests


Need a new reason
to boost the amount of fruits and vegetables in your diet? Consider this: Eating more produce is an all-natural way to make your skin look more attractive, a new study suggests. It's Mother
Nature's way of giving skin a healthy hue. In fact, Scottish researchers suggest that changes
in the redness and yellowness of skin in white
people may be linked to the number of servings
of fruit and vegetables they eat on a daily basis.
These antioxidant-rich foods, which are loaded
with plant-based pigments, seem to affect skin tone. For the study, which appears in the online journal
PLoS ONE, scientists analyzed data from 35 college
students at the University of St. Andrews in
Scotland. The average age was 21. Participants completed food frequency
questionnaires describing how often they ate
certain foods during all three sessions of the
study over a six-week period. On average, the
students ate 3.5 servings of fruit and vegetables
a day. Scientists also measured each person's skin tone
at seven body locations, including the cheeks,
forehead, shoulder, and upper arm, at the
beginning of the study as well as at three weeks
and six weeks.

OSTRICH FEET:
Ok, heres the fact:
There is a tribe of people living in Zimbabwe known as the Vadoma, that have become known as the “Ostritch People” for the prevalence of electrodactyly in their population. Many of the tribe members are born with fused toes that appear ostritch like. The tribe maintains a consistent population of such births due to their relative isolation. Those with this condition are not
handicapped, and are well integrated into the tribe.

TOMATO HEART 

A TOMATO is red and usually has four chambers, just like our heart. Tomatoes are also a great source of lycopene, a plant chemical that reduces the risk of heart disease and several cancers. The Womens Health Study �� an American research programme which tracks the health of 40,000 women �� found women with the highest blood levels of lycopene had 30 per cent less heart disease than women who had very little lycopene. Lab experiments have also shown that lycopene helps counter the effect of unhealthy LDL cholesterol. One Canadian study, published in the journal Experimental Biology and Medicine, said there was ��convincing vidence that lycopene prevented coronary heart disease

There are giant rats, dubbed HeroRats, that sniff out landmines in Africa and can detect tuberculosis bacteria.
Dr. Alan D. Poling, WMU professor of psychology, is part of a team of specialists working with the non-governmental organization APOPO, which has had considerable success using large African pouched rats to sniff out landmines and tuberculosis bacteria.
Poling says the rodents, dubbed HeroRats, have an acute sense of smell and do well at detecting explosive devices and the live TB bacterium. They're also cheaper to train and maintain than dogs, making them a valuable alternative for landmine detection in developing countries.

using your non-dominant hand to stir your coffee helps train your self-control, a new study suggests.
People who find themselves on the verge of yelling at queue-jumpers or crafty colleagues could be helped by a simple - if slightly odd - exercise. Right handers should get into the habit of using a computer mouse, stirring a cup of coffee or opening a door with their left hand - and left-handers should do the opposite. 
'Training' yourself to use the 'wrong' hand seems to act as practice for other kinds of self control, such as being polite. Just two weeks of the exercises reduce the tendency to act on impulse.
Dr Thomas Denson, of the University of New South Wales, said practising self control is no different from getting better at golf or playing the piano.
In studies he showed people who try to use their non-dominant hand for two weeks keep a lid on their aggression better. So if they are right handed, they are told to use their left hand ‘for pretty much anything that is safe to do,’ he said.

Keep Walking.....
The Organs of your body have their sensory touches at the bottom of your foot, if you massage these points you will find relief from aches and pains as you can see the heart is on the left foot. Typically they are shown as points and arrows to show which organ it connects to.

It is indeed correct since the nerves connected to these organs terminate here.
This is covered in great details in Acupressure studies or textbooks.
God created our body so well that he thought of even this. He made us walk so that we will always be pressing these pressure points and thus keeping these organs activated at all times...!!
