    Mostly Trivial 194 The Microwave [trivia]

    The Microwave, how many do YOU have?

    Beware of Microwave Ovens!   


    The miracle of microwave ovens have made them increasingly popular world-wide, rendering any negativities of the machines widely unacknowledged.


    Many people believe that the basis behind the microwave ovens is that it just simply cooks and/or heats up your food. But there's a lot more to it.


    After all, microwave manufacturers would not want to reduce their profit by promoting the dangers of their product, and have undertaken drastic actions in the past to keep their secrets hidden.

    Mostly Trivial 193 Cadavers [trivia]

    Cadavers

     

    What happens to our bodies?   

    The various stages of decomposition can help determine how long a body has been dead.


    The first stage is self digestion, and is where the body eats itself, also known as autolysis. This happens when the cells break down the body into elements the cells can eat; this creates a liquid that gets between the layers of skin and makes the skin peel off. During this stage, flies (when present) start to lay eggs in the openings of the body: eyes, nostrils, mouth, ears, open wounds, and other orifices. Hatched larvae (maggots) of blowflies subsequently get under the skin and start to eat the body.


    Check out this site to see how much your body will be worth!

    Mostly Trivial 191 Astrology [trivia]

    Astrology

    The answer is in the Stars!   

    What do YOU know about it?

    The night has been associated with a lady dressed in black velvet and bejewelled with glowing diamonds we know as stars. The shining stars of the night, together with other celestial bodies, however have been more than trinkets in the sky. The astrologers have for centuries looked to the heavens for some star or planetary activity that might impact people's lives on earth.

    Almost everyone knows that there are twelve zodiac signs in the Chinese astrology, namely rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep (ram or goat), monkey, rooster, dog, and pig. However, the history of the Chinese zodiac signs, i.e. how they came into existence, is still unknown to the majority.

    Mostly Trivial 190 FIFA Soccer / Football World Cup [trivia]

    Mostly Trivial 190 FIFA Soccer World Cup [trivia]

     

     

     

    The World Loves Soccer [football]

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

  • Soccer IS Football except to the U.S.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Early Kicking Games

    All throughout history, many ball games have emerged as well as perished independently to one another, often leaving us with nothing but speculations. Considering that many of these games were impulsive and had few or no regulations, it is likely that they also were quite violent. The roughness of these early games surely must have demanded involvement of the legs, for kicking.

     

    We have to emphasize the difference between such scuffles and today's skillful game. Even although modern football evolved from rugby, a major distinction stands between the two - the feet are not only used for kicking but also for controlling and moving the ball (dribbling). Using body parts other than the feet, like the head or chest, is another factor suggesting the development advanced technical skills.

     

    While most ancient ball games had no proven relation to rugby or simply diminished ignominiously long ago, they certainly must have produced skillful players or artisans, much like the superstars of today. Therefore, we must acknowledge these as predecessors of the world's most popular sport.

    Mostly Trivial 189 Prime Time Cartoons 5th Year Anniversary [trivia]

    Our 5th Year Anniversary of Mostly Trivial

    Prime Time Cartoons, again! [trivia]
    Its been a lot of fun doing this show! We've com a long way, learning about Podcasting, Mics, Hardware and recording techniques.


    Why Family Guy was cancelled is still a topic of debate.


    FOX claims poor ratings along with expensive production costs caused the show to cancel itself, but many can view that as a cover up. Perhaps if FOX didn't move their timeslot, or at least kept their time the same every week, poor ratings would not be a factor. While this controversy is going on, Cartoon Network was playing reruns, and their ratings prove to be excellent; beating Dave Letterman and Jay Leno. Did FOX want the show to be cancelled? Liability issues?

    Mostly Trivial 188

    Clouds [trivia]

     

     

    Clouds are composed of either small droplets of water or tiny pieces of ice, sometimes both. Clouds are ranked by meteorologists according to how high they are and whether they are fluffy or flat.

     

     

     

    Cumulus Humilis Clouds

     

    Cumulus humilis clouds, appearing as small- or medium-sized puffy shapes in the sky, often occur in times of fair weather. However, cumulus clouds can grow into cumulonimbus clouds which may produce heavy rain, lightning, severe and strong winds, hail, and even tornadoes. Cumulus congestus clouds, which appear as relatively thin towers, will often grow into cumulonimbus storm clouds.

    Mostly Trivial 187

    Coral Reefs [trivia]

     

     

     

    The word REEF originated from German word REF.

     

     

    This word was introduced by mariners and signify underwater ridge or rock derivation organic as well as inorganic, being a danger to ships.

     

    Today this term refers only to organic structures, originated from accumulation of reef-builders' skeletons (today the main reef builders are corals... that's why the most common reefs are coral reefs!) 

    Reefs have dense structure resistable to wave action. The fastest growth of reefs are in coastal water zone on depth not bigger than 32 feet. 

    Many organisms have been built reef-like structures since the begin of Paleozoic era (about 570 millions ago...whew!). There were Archaecyatha (they had been living only during the Cambrian period) and Algae. 

    For comparison Homo sapiens has exist on Earth for 200 thousand years; Earth has 4,6 billion years... WOW.

    History of Razors and Shaving

     

    Gillette Razors

     

     

    On November 15, 1904, patent # 775,134 was granted to King C. Gillette for a safety 'razor'. King Camp Gillette was born in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin in 1855. To support himself when the family's home was destroyed in the Chicago Fire of 1871, Gillette became a traveling salesman. This work led him to William Painter, the inventor of the disposable Crown Cork bottle cap, who assured Gillette that a successful invention was one that was purchased over and over again by satisfied customer.

    Magic

    [trivia]

     


    Cave men and how magic started

     

     

    Magic has been practiced for a very long time. In fact it goes back as far as 50,000 B.C. Can you believe it, 52,000 years ago magic was started?

     

    Prehistoric people who buried cave bears probably started "magic". They probably did this as a magic rite (spell). Scientists believe those drawings and carvings are a form of magic. For example, hunters would probably draw animals or hunting scenes before going on hunting trips. They probably believed that the drawings would come to life while they were gone. They believed in its power but it didn’t actually work. By drawing the scenes they gave themselves self-confidence. That was their magic.

    Do you know what a Joule is?

    James Prescott Joule was born in Manchester, England, in 1818. Like Ampere, he was home schooled and was sent to university at Cambridge when he was sixteen.

    The Industrial Revolution was in full swing at this time, and one of Joule's ambitions was to replace steam-driven engines with electric motors, so his first investigations were into the production of heat.

    Since Joule's research was self-funded, he was free to pursue the areas he wished and this resulted in him establishing the equivalence between heat and mechanical work as well as the cooling effect of rapidly expanded gas (the latter of which is used in refrigeration systems). Joule can also be considered as an inventor; among his inventions were arc welding and the displacement pump.

    Mostly Trivial 182 Historical Figures [trivia]

    Historical People Trivia

    History can be Fun

  • Second Crisis of the Empire

    AD 193-194

    Publius Helvius Pertinax Became emperor in 1 January AD 193.

    Whatever the nature of the conspiracy against Commodus, it brought to office in his place a better man, Publius Helvius Pertinax, prefect of Rome and former governor of Britain; but only temporarily, as an ominous pattern of events unfolded such as had followed the death of Nero.

    Pertinax reign might have been a short one. But it formed an enormously important precedent. Pertinax is understood to be the first 'Soldier Emperor' or 'Praetorian Emperor'. They were raised to the throne by the provincial legions which they commanded and ruled only till ejected and killed by another soldier who seized the succession.
