Din ciclul "poate nu le stiai pe toate"

      

 
Foarte puţini dintre cei care tuşesc merg la doctor. Majoritatea  merg la teatru!

 
Cică, a apărut o aplicaţie de IPhone, care îţi spune cât de deştept este câinele tău.
Iată cum funcţioneaza:
Dacă ai cumpărat aplicaţia, este clar! Câinele tău este mai deştept decât tine.

 Un poliţist găseşte pe malul mării o lampă gen cea din Aladin. O ridică, o deschide şi dinăuntru iese, evident, un duh.
- Sefu', m-ai eliberat, îţi îndeplinesc 3 dorinţe!
- Vreau mai întâi o halbă de bere care să nu se golească niciodată!
Zis şi făcut.
Apare halba, bea poliţaiul de se satură, halba tot plină.
Varsă din ea pe jos, dar halba  rămâne plină.
- Nemaipomenită chestia asta!! Poţi să-mi mai dai încă două?

Bărbaţii şi femeile sunt absolut de acord într-o privinţă: n-au încredere în femei.

 Dacă vrei să te desparţi de prietena ta, cel mai bine o faci la McDonald's.
Acolo, nu au furculiţe, cuţite sau farfurii grele şi, în orice moment, te poţi ascunde după un copil gras!

 Intelepciune masculina: o tigaie plina te hraneste, una goala te educa...

 Se intalnesc doi prieteni.
- Ce mai face papagalul tau?
- Din pacate, a murit.
- Era bolnav?
- Nu, a murit de ciuda. De cand m-am insurat, el n-a mai reusit sa scoata o vorba in casa

  

Un politician vorbea la o întrunire electorală:  
- Adversarul meu v-a furat pe rupte timp de 4 ani. Daţi-mi şi mie o şansă!    

    
  Studenţii europeni strâng bani pentru studii.
Studenţii români strâng pentru examene!
  

Cand esti inteligent si cand esti intelept? Esti inteligent daca nu crezi decat jumatate din ceea ce auzi; esti intelept daca stii care jumatate!

Un tânăr merge la preot:
- Părinte, am venit să mă spovedesc.
- Nu este nevoie, ţi-am citit blogul!

Cenusareasa e dovada vie ca pantofii iti pot schimba viata.

Prietenii exista pentru ca, in cazul in care ai o zi proasta, sa ii poti vizita si sa le strici si lor ziua

 Mai devreme, m-a sunat un amic si m-a întrebat daca poate sa doarma la mine pe canapea în noaptea asta. A trebuit sa-i explic ca acum sunt însurat si pe canapea dorm eu.

studiu catei

Cercetări întreprinse în ultimii ani asupra câinilor au constatat faptul că aceştia sunt extraordinar de perceptivi atunci când vine vorba de citirea gesturilor umane și a expresiilor faciale. Un studiu din 2015 sugerează că cei mai buni prieteni ai oamenilor sunt, de asemenea, capabili să-şi dea seama cât de încredere este o anumită persoană, acţionând astfel în consecință.

În studiul realizat de Akiko Takaoka de la Universitatea din Kyoto din Japonia, a fost evaluată capacitatea câinilor de a înțelege dacă o persoană este de încredere sau nu.

Pentru a testa capacitatea câinilor, proprietarii de câini au indicat către un recipient cu mâncare în el. Câinii au alergat către recipient și au consumat mâncarea. Apoi, o altă persoană a arătat către recipient; când această acțiune a fost repetată, câinele a ignorat persoana care privea către container, demonstrând astfel că patrupedele au învățat că acele persoane nu sunt de încredere. Acest rezultat a fost consistent pentru toți cei treizeci și patru de câini incluși în studiu.

Cercetările recente au arătat, de asemenea, că toţi câinii sunt, de asemenea, capabili să-și formeze loialitatea față de oameni. Într-un experiment, proprietarul câinelui cere ajutor unei alte persoane. În unele cazuri, persoana abordată a fost de ajutor proprietarului, iar alteori a fost dură sau agresivă față de proprietar. După aceasta întâmplare, persoana respectivă încearcă să ofere câinelui o recompensă. Cercetarea a constatat că toţi câinii ar accepta cu fericire recompensa de la o persoană care a fost bună cu proprietarul câinelui, dar ar fi agresivi faţă de persoana care a fost dură cu stăpânul lor. Acest lucru demonstrează că toţi câinii au o înțelegere mult mai precisă a interacțiunilor sociale umane decât se presupunea anterior.

În prezent, se desfășoară cercetări aprofundate cu privire la modul în care câinii înțeleg lumea socială și interacțiunile umane.

The Oldest Artifacts in History...

For every item we take for granted, there was an ancestor, long, long ago. These unique pieces of our history as a species show us the remarkable journey we've made, over thousands, and tens of thousands of years, to reach this point in our technology and our abilities. We may think a lot of the stuff we know was recently invented, but some go back so far, their origins are lost in the fogs of ancient history...

The Oldest Socks - 1,500 years ago

These snazzy wool socks were designed to be worn with sandals for an ultra fashionable look in Ancient Egypt, and were found during the 19th century.

The Oldest Recipe - 5,000 years ago

Surprisingly, or maybe not so much, the oldest recipe known to be written down is this slab that contains a recipe for very strong beer that contains chunks of bread floating in it.

The Oldest Sunglasses - 800 years ago

The oldest sunglasses in history were found in Canada, and were actually designed to protect the wearer from the glare of the snow, which can blind travelers at times.

Oldest Human Sculpture - 35-40k years ago

This incredibly ancient piece of art is called the 'Venus of Hohle' by archaeologists, and is the oldest statue of a human figure, depicting a woman of generous proportions, what at that time was probably considered a symbol of fertility and eroticism. It was found in Germany.

The Oldest Shoe - 5,500 years ago

This ancient moccasin was found in a cave in Armenia, and is probably over 5,000 years old. The left shoe was never found, and has probably crumbled a long time ago, while the right shoe was protected by grass and dry sheep dung.

The Oldest Musical Instrument - 40,000 years ago

This flute is made of vulture bone, and is over 40,000 years old. Just goes to show music has been a part of human culture for a very long time! It was found in Germany.

The Oldest Pants - 3,300 years ago

I love my old pairs of pants, but a 3,300 year old pair of pants is a bit much, even for me. It was found in Western China.: M Wagner/German Archaeological Institute

The Oldest Toilets You Could Flush - 2,000 years ago

These 'flushing' toilets, found in Turkey, had running water below the seats that continuously carried the waste away into a nearby river. A terrific design and a prelude to what we have today, 2,000 years later.

The Oldest Bra - 500 years ago

Going on to more recent times, this bra is 'only' 500 years old, created between 1390 and 1485 in Austria. Although there are records of earlier 'breast bags' (their name, not ours), this is the oldest one that has survived.

The Oldest Prosthetic - 3,000 years ago

Even 3,000 years ago, some people cared enough to create prosthetics. Isn't that nice? This one was to help someone in Egypt walk again. Tests run by experts with a precise replica found that it is a working, practical prosthetic, not just for show.

The Oldest Purse - 4,500 years ago

Dog teeth are most of what remains of this ancient purse, found in Germany. They were probably part of the outer flap.

The Oldest Condom - 370 years ago

This sheepskin condom dates back to 17th century Sweden. This reusable condom came with Latin instructions to clean it with warm milk.

The Oldest Chewing Gum - 5,000 years ago

This gum may be a bit hard now, since it was chewed about 5,000 years ago! It is made of birch bark, and was probably not used for the taste, but for medicinal purposes or as some sort of dental glue.

The Oldest Recorded Melody - 3,400 years ago

The oldest surviving melody that was written down (and not passed orally) was found in what is now Southern Syria. It was written for the lyre.

The Oldest Known Coin - 2,700 years ago.

The oldest known coin was found in Turkey. It has only one decorated side which features a lion's head.

The Oldest Globe - 510 years ago.

This old globe was made out of a surprising material - an ostrich egg! Details were painstakingly etched into it. It was made in Italy. Funny fact: The person who owned did not know how rare and unique it was, and sold it to its current owner at a map fair in London, 2012. I bet he's regretting that transaction now!

Da Vinci’s Inventions that Were Ahead of their Time

When I hear the name Leonardo Da Vinci, my first associations are his incredible works of art, such as “The Mona Lisa” or “The Last Supper”. Da Vinci, however, was a man of many talents and not just a mere painter – he was also a prolific inventor who came up with concepts that were so advanced, they could only have been realized in our time. Da Vinci used to write down his ideas and sketch designs in his notebook; most of them were preserved after his death in 1519. There isn’t any evidence that most of Da Vinci’s inventions were constructed during his lifetime, but these 6 designs most definitely were centuries ahead of their time.

1. The Flying Machine

Da Vinci had hundreds of sketches in his notebook that revolved around flight. The design he put most of his time into, was based off of the body structure of birds and bats. The design included a set of very large wings, attached to a wooden frame where the pilot is meant to lie down on his stomach and control the device with some levers. Sadly, Da Vinci never constructed the flying machine, and experts claim that even if he did – it wouldn’t be able to get off the ground or sustain flight without an engine. It took 400 years until people managed to build a machine that could actually fly.

2. Da Vinci’s Tank

Most people consider Da Vinci to be a delicate soul, mainly concerned with creating art. Da Vinci was also heavily involved in military technologies, and one of his greatest patrons, Ludovico Sforza, the duke of Milan was the man entrusted with defending Italy from the invading French army. To receive Sforza’s financial patronage, Da Vinci designed a variety of military contraptions, an armored tank being one of them. The invention included a human-powered carriage, covered in sheets of metal with slits that would allow Italian soldiers to fire their rifles safely. his flying machine, Da Vinci’s tank also never saw the light of day. 400 years later, tanks became commonplace in all of the world’s armies.

3. Diving Suit

Even though he wasn’t the first person to come up with the idea of a diving suit, his design was the most ingenious and advanced for its time. According to his sketches, the suit was to be made almost entirely of leather and included a full body combination of a jacket, pants and a helmet with tiny glass windows. Air was to be kept in the front bulge of the jacket with tubes attached to the mask to allow the diver to breath. The suit even had a small compartment for urine collection, because Da Vinci didn’t know how long the diver would have to remain underwater. Special pockets for various tools were also designed into the suit, including a knife, and even a horn the diver could blow to signal that he needed to surface. It was not until Jacque Cousteau invented the “water lung” in the middle of the 20th-cetury that diving suits became common.

4. The Machine Gun

Another one of Da Vinci’s ingenious military designs was the machine gun, which has some resemblance to modern-day weapons. The design was for a typical cannon, but with 12 barrels. The device could shoot one cannonball, then quickly be moved to the next loaded barrel and shoot again, as the used barrel was being loaded. This design was also never constructed during Da Vinci’s lifetime, and the first modern machine gun appeared on the battlefield in 1862, during the American Civil War.

5. The City of the Future

During the 15th-century, Europe was still recovering from the black plague, which annihilated more than a third of Europe’s population. Da Vinci noticed that cities were more vulnerable to the plague in comparison with rural areas and hypothesized that the cause was how cities were constructed, making them more vulnerable. The solution was a whole new futuristic city, fully designed from top to bottom to provide the best sanitary conditions to the inhabitants. Da Vinci’s City of the Future was divided into several “layers”. Anything that was considered to be unhygienic would be located in the bottom layer, to be evacuated via canals. Each part of the city would enjoy running water thanks to an intricate hydraulic system that also served as the basis of modern plumbing. The result was a marvel of city planning, but its construction was beyond Da Vinci’s means, and he couldn’t find a patron that would support his endeavors.

6. The Robotic Knight

Even today, autonomous, human- robots seem a piece of science fiction, but under Sforza’s patronage, Da Vinci invented a “Mechanical Knight”, which was supposedly capable of moving its arms, neck and even opening and closing its “mouth”. This strange mechanical doll was controlled via external cables that were attached to sets of pulleys inside the robot’s body. The design was discovered nearly 450 years later and in 2002, a functioning replica of the “Robotic Knight” was built by Mark Rosheim - A robotics researcher from NASA.
