If there is a food or flavor you don't like because whenever you eat something with it in it that's ALL you taste, you are mildly allergic to that thing. This also happens with smells. It doesn't have to have an effect; the heightened taste is a way of allerting you not to put that thing in your body.

Apparently, we don't need sleep. There have been people who have received damage to the part of the brain that allows us to fall asleep, and they've been awake for years before they die - completely insane by the end of it, but still alive.

Did Noah's Ark really exist?

Yes. No. Yes. No. Yes. No.

You get the idea - this debate will go on forever. I'm not even going to attempt to answer this one.

Instead, let's just look at the physical aspects of the ark. As you will soon see, conditions were not ideal.

We know that the ark was bigger than a rowboat, but smaller than the Titanic.

In fact, we know its exact size - it was 450 x 45 x 75 feet, with an approximate volume of 1,518,750 cubic feet.

How did they get this number? Very simple - it's stated in the bible. (Actually, it's stated in cubits, not feet).

So how many animals do we have to fit in this place?

Let's leave out the fish, as they can't drown.

Bugs and plants - let 'em drown.

So, we're left with the birds, reptiles, and mammals.

Conservatively, there were 3500 species of mammals, 6000 species of reptiles, and 12,000 species of birds. Add this all up and you get 21,500 different species. Of course, there were two of each, or 43,000 individuals on the boat.

Now let's do some quick math:

1,518,750 divided by 43,000 is about 35 cubic feet per animal.

Wow! That sounds like ample space.

Wrong! It is about the size of a human coffin! (6 x 2 x 3 =36 cubic feet)

A bit cramped, but a possibility.

Uh, Oh!

We forgot about food and water!

This would take up quite a bit of space, as they were supposedly on the ark for at least 275 days.

Water storage is a big problem. After all, you can't drink the salty seawater.

If we figure an average of 1 quart per day for each animal, Noah would have to store away 1,263,125 gallons of the liquid. Of course, it was raining quite heavily, so the supply could have been considerably less.

Let's not forget the space needed for cages, partitions, and passageways.

We need even more space for any offspring produced along the way.

If we take into account all of these factors - we can make one conclusion: the ark must have been extremely cramped, unsanitary, and oppressive.

Even worse, there were only eight humans and some 43,000 animals screaming for their attention.

This means that each human was responsible for feeding, watering, and cleaning 5375 animals each day. If they slept four hours a day, they would need to care for 270 animals each hour. Wow! Simpler said than done.

Some may argue that these numbers suggest that the ark was an impossibility. On the other hand, some would say that these calculations are meaningless due to the power of the almighty. I'll let you decide for yourself.

One thing that we can be sure of though - a trip on the ark was not like a honeymoon on The Love Boat.

Useless? Useful? I’ll leave that for you to decide.

It is rumored that in many third world countries, a popular contraceptive is Coca-Cola. It seems that the drink is very acidic and when used as a douche, it annihilates everything in its path. Pow! Zap! Wham! Harvard University actually did a scientific study of this and confirmed that it works. Should you ever decide to use this method (I hope you are very desperate if you do), be aware that Diet Coke is better than Classic Coke.

On of the earliest methods for birth control was devised by the ancient Chinese. Women inserted Quicksilver (mercury) to abort the fetus. Worked well, but I'll venture a guess that the women died at a young age.

Later the ancient Egyptians came up with a safer method - honey was mixed with crocodile dung. The acidity of the dung killed the sperm.

The ancient Romans had a very effective method. Women were instructed to jump, cough, and sneeze immediately after intercourse!

Ancient Greeks told women to scoop out the seeds of a pomegranate half and insert it as a cervical cap.

And apparently the first condoms were made out of animal guts, and because they were so expensive to obtain, people had to rinse them after use and re-use them. How's that for hygeine??

[ladybug]

I love worthless information.....although the stuff about the ark....kinda useful I suppose if studied on that stuff....some other worthles info about that...I consulted a persone who studies the bible(I don't know what they r called) but untill it rained for the 40 days and forty nights....there was no rain on earth. How's that for stupid...I personaly don't believe it.

A man famous for a part of the woman's anatomy - Gabriel Fallopius (you can fill in what he is honored for). In the mid 1500's, he designed a medicated sheath to go over the tip of the penis and under the foreskin. It was held on by a pink ribbon so that it would appeal to women.

He was then forced to design one for the circumcised guys - a standard of eight inches (The average man must have been bigger back in those days). It was tested on over 1000 men with overwhelming success.

One would guess that they were trying to prevent pregnancy, but that was the woman's problem in those days. They were actually used to prevent the spread of venereal diseases, syphilis in particular. Men hated them, and gave them the name overcoats.

About 100 years later, England's King Charles II requested his physician, the Earl of Condom, to devise something to protect him from syphilis. He came up with an oiled sheath made from sheep intestine. No one is really sure if he knew about Fallopius' contraption. Soon all the noblemen were using them.

The problem? They reused them (Yuk) without washing them (double Yuk Yuk). Therefore, they still ended up getting that dreaded disease.

The modern rubber was invented in 1870, but was not the thin latex type we see today. Those were developed in the 1930's.
