Women like to talk and men like to have sex instead...

According to a zillion of studies, women talk 3 times as much as men! Why?
Apparently the ladies get a buzz out of hearing their own voices. The act of chit-chating, pardon me, talking triggers some kind of chemicals in their brain that would give them a sensation of well-being - comparable to what heroin addicts feel when they get high! Isn't it cool? A drug free world = L world!

So what is the difference with Men's brain?
According Dr Brizendine (a feminist), the difference is created from the beginning (back to mom's womb) - where the testosterone moulds the developing male brain.
The areas for communication, emotion and memory are all pared way back for the unborn BBB (BaBy Boy).
Results: men chat less than women and struggle to express their feelings.

Can you thus imagine how much Axe deoderant they used before popping the question to you ladies? And you, where you usually would use 100 words and adjectives, you just answer by a lonely Yes? (or No for the lucky men... but they don't know it yet).

However, our male friends have good advantages of being of the silent type! Ladies, you will say: "Really? and what are they?"

Dr Brizendine (same as above, the feminist) explains that testosterone also reduces the areas in the brain that control hearing.
Yes, you heard me right!
This power allows men to become deaf to the most rational arguments their girlfriends, wives and lovers could give them while talking, pardon me, arguing!

And did you know what part is twice bigger in men's brain? Guess, it's easy!
The SEX AREA! Of course... responsible for sex thoughts and sometimes actions (for the lucky women).

Studies say that in average, men think about sex every 52 seconds! For how long, I don't know!
Whereas for women, it apprently crosses their minds, once a day or so. C'mon... I can't believe it! I must be high in testosterone then (that would explain my hairy legs... anyways!)

However, other scientists are sceptical about the effects of testosterone on the brain. They claim that differences between M & W (funny looks like a 69...see! I think about it again!) come from social conditioning, and are influenced by the way children are upbrought.

Anyways! Whatever the real reasons are... Facts are here!

Conclusion of that:

Men would be happier with bearded women: less talk, more f*ck.

Ear wax is useful

Ear wax or cerumen, is naturally produced by our body and helps to clean, protect, and lubricate our ears.

But if this honey-look-like-but-not-taste-like substance builds up excessively, it may block your ear drum, and then cause irritation of the ear canal and lead to a rupture of the eardrum. Sad, huh?

Cerumen is apparently constituted of 40% of fat and is a sticky and shiny substance (reminds me something else...)

BON APPETIT.

I have some "facts on farts"©

Why do farts stink?

First of all, let me introduce the topic with a quotation of my own: "The quieter and warmer, the smellier it is"©.

The odor of fart comes from a mixture of hydrogen sulfide gas and mercaptans! Nitrogen rich compounds do also add some nice smell to your fart.

In a nutshell, the more sulfur rich is your diet, the more your farts will stink. So if you want to produce a Hiroshima-like fart, have a healthy dinner composed of eggs, cauliflower, raclette cheese and salami!

And I have found for you a delicious video of DJ fart (Don't forget to add it to your Christmas playlist):

Burping is good

A burp is medically known as an "eructation".

It is a universal body language that consists of releasing small (or not) amounts of air that is trapped on its way down with food burger and drink coke.

Why knowing how to burp on command is good?

1- It feels good when you are bloated! (farting is a good way too!).

2- To impress your friends and show who is the ALPHA in da room.

3- And finally, in some cultures, it is considered a compliment if you burp after a meal!

That is why you should always bring beer to your husbands after a good meal you had cooked for 2 hours!

Ladiz N Genz, here is a funny video of a cute burping gal:

And here: Learn how to burp in 5 steps:

1- Stand up

2- Drink a fizzy soda

3- Close your mouth and nostrils so no air can come in (OK if you are blond, please don't forget to breathe afterwards)

4- Ask someone to GENTLY pat you on the center of your back

5- Close your mouth as you burp and let the gas come out from your nose.

ET VOILA!

Genes can be interpreted

This Northern CA based company, 23 and Me is proposing to interpret your genes and help you to detect any potential (inheritable or not) diseases you may get in the future. The analysis is a bit pricey: $429, but if it can help to save lives... My BF wanted to offer me the kit for my B-Day and I did not like the idea of "Happy Birthday Honey, you have cancer!". Too creepy.
The company's headquarters are located in Mountain View, next to Google's ones. Google invested a couple of millions in 23 and Me, whose co-founder, Anne Wojcicki is just Sergey Brin's wife, Google's co-founder :)
I am sure they will have some promising genes combination for their descendants.

Blood pressure is not so hard to understand, but harder to control

Blood pressure is usually represented as two number ratio like this: 116/74 mm Hg.
You should read it as "116 over 74 millimeters of mercury".
The top number (systolic), the highest of the two numbers, measures the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats (contraction).
The bottom number (diastolic) measures the pressure in the arteries between heartbeats (resting between beats and refilling with blood).


The chart below, proposed by the American Heart Association represents pressure categories:

Blood Pressure   | Systolic |      | Diastolic
   Category      |  mm Hg   |      |   mm Hg
------------------------------------------------
Normal           |  <120    |  and |   <80
------------------------------------------------
Prehypertension  | 120–139  |  or  |  80-89
------------------------------------------------
Hypertension     | 140-159  |  or  |  90-99
Stage 1          |          |      |
------------------------------------------------     
Hypertension     |  >160    |  or  |  >100
Stage 2          |          |      |
------------------------------------------------
Hypertensive     |  >180    |  or  |  >110
Crisis: emergency|          |      |
------------------------------------------------

What is a Hypertensive Crisis?

A hypertensive crisis exists when blood pressure reaches levels of 180 or higher for the systolic number OR 110 or higher for the diastolic number. High blood pressure is a chronic condition. The damages it causes to blood vessels and organs usually occurs over the years. However it happens that blood pressure rises quickly and consequently and it should be considered a medical emergency.

If you suspect of having a very high blood pressure, wait a couple of minutes and test it again to make sure the first reading was accurate. There is no safe duration for blood pressure to remain in high range. Do not wait to see if your pressure comes down on its own. Call 9-1-1 immediately for emergency medical assistance or go to the nearest hospital ASAP. If you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed below, don't drive yourself unless you have absolutely no other option.
- Severe headache
- Severe anxiety
- Shortness of breath
- Nosebleeds

Uncontrolled blood pressure can lead to various bad consequences, such as:
- Stroke
- Loss of consciousness
- Memory loss
- Heart attack
- Damage to the eyes and kidneys
- Blood vessel damage (A hypertensive crisis can cause blood vessels to become inflamed and potentially leak blood, making it difficult to maintain adequate blood circulation.)
- Organ damage caused by inadequate circulation
- Aortic dissection
- Angina (unstable chest pain)
- Fluid backup in the lungs
- Loss of kidney function

Conclusion: do sport (swim, bike and run), eat healthy (broccolis), sleep, and be nice to others.

A MacDonald's BigMac buger has about 540 calories

About 160 calories per dollar. Pretty good deal, when you know that it's 75 calories per dollar for a half pound of broccoli.
In US, an average normal person, with regular exercise needs about 2000 calories/day, that is to say about 12 dollars of BigMacs: 4 burgers in total or 26 dollars of broccoli: about 15 medium sized broccoli (~14oz each).

Mosquito is the most deadly animal

Mosquitoes are responsible for the most human deaths worldwide.
Apparently, each year, mosquitoes are estimated to transmit disease to more than 700 million people and at least 2 million die of these diseases.

While male mosquitoes feed on nectar and plant juices, the females need to obtain nutrients from fresh blood in order to produce eggs.
It's all woman's fault again!
Mosquito has a mouth that can pierce plant's, human's and animal's skin.

According to Wikipedia's article on mosquito, there are about 3,500 species in the world.
Female mosquitoes have sometimes a preference for some person over others due to the sweat smell. Because their favorite victims have good proportions of the carbon dioxide, octenol and other compounds that it makes their body odor so particular and... attractive! (This is the AXE effect).

300 to 400 eggs will be ovulated during a woman's reproductive lifetime

During fetal life, about 6 million to 7 million eggs are produced. After that, no new egg will be produced.
Most of the eggs within the ovaries gradually die, until they are depleted at menopause. At birth, about 1 million eggs are left and at puberty, only about 300,000 remain. Of these, 300 to 400 will be ovulated during a woman's reproductive lifetime. Women, did you know that the eggs continue to degenerate during pregnancy, with the use of birth control pills, and in the presence or absence of regular menstrual cycles?
Clock is ticking...
