The Strangest Planet

Why isn't Pluto a planet anymore? When we ask a question of what is and isn't a planet, we are really just talking about how we define the word 'Planet'. In ancient times, humans didn't really need a definition. Astronomers know 5 star like objects, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. They didn't really move around like the other stars, they just thought it just wondered through the sky. The word planet comes from an ancient Greek word that meant 'Wonderer'. Eventually astronomers found out that Earth is a planet too, orbiting around the Sun just like the others. Thats pretty much it for the Solar System until the age of Telescopes.

The next planet to be discovered it Uranus in 1781 followed by Neptune in 1846. These planets are huge but not as huge as Jupiter and Saturn. They are just too far away for ancient astronomers to see. In 1801, an astronomer discovered another planet, or so he thought. The astronomer found a spherical object about 600 miles across in between Mars and Jupiter. The planet which is smaller than our moon is called Ceres. In this case, it was not too distant to see but just too small. The problem however is that Ceres had so called 'buddies', lots of them. The next year a slightly smaller object was discovered called Pallas and two years after that another one named Juno. Now they know about thousands of these similar rocky planets. Instead of adding thousands of planets into our Solar System, astronomers decided it makes more sense to group these objects together and named them Asteroids and thats how we have the Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter.

Now we reached to Pluto, which by far to me is the strangest planet. An astronomer discovered Pluto in 1930. But since then, its status as a planet has been called into question. First of all, Pluto's orbit is strange. You can see it on the last picture below. It is outside the Kuiper Belt and even intersecting the orbit of Neptune. Also, it turns out that Pluto is not as big as astronomers really thought. Instead, it has got a huge moon near it and thats why some people call it a binary planet or a double planet. And, just like Ceres, astronomers discovered that Pluto is not alone. Beginning in the early 1990's, they started finding other objects similar to Pluto. Some like Quaoar and Sedna are almost as big. Then in 2005, astronomers announced that they found an object named Eris, even bigger than Pluto.

So, are all these planets? Astronomers wondered the same thing. In August 2006, astronomers from all over the world met and finally decided on a formal definition of a planet. Pluto and its so called 'buddies' did not make the cut and now they are known as Dwarf Planets. So this is why Pluto is the strangest planet to me, it is the only planet in history to be knows as both a planet and a dwarf planet in the solar system.

30 Hornets vs 30, 000 Bees!!!

Would u expect to win in a fight with 30 hornets or 30, 000 honey bees? Imagine your cute honey bees happily building your hive with 30, 000 members of your family. Then, 30 giant hornets come out of nowhere, they are 2 inches long and their venom is so strong that it could kill a human being within minutes! They take the lives of dozens of people every year.

In just half an hour, those hornets can murder every member of the bee's family ripping them limb by limb. So that is 30 hornets can kill 30, 000 bees in 30 minutes! That is just sick! Now Japanese honey bees are not a bit like the normal honey bees we see everyday.

That hornet is a scout whose job is to mark the hive. So its attack force will come to murder all of the bees eating their larvae and honey. Instead of panicking, the Japanese honey bees signal their strategy by shaking their 'butt'. Yea, I know, its weird but they do so. They hold off to the last possible moment and then they attack the hornets. Each hornet is attacked by hundreds of bees. But instead of stinging the hornets, they start 'vibrating'. Now this is beyond weird. But the reason they do that is to raise their collective body temperature to 47 degrees Celcius.

Now why do they raise their temperature to 47 degrees u ask? Well, honey bees can stand the maximum temperature of 48 degrees but the hornets can only stand the maximum temperature of 45-46 degrees! One degree Celcius makes a lot of difference and those poor hornets that is surrounded by hundreds of bees is cooked alive. And with the hornet, the secret location of the hive dies with it. Here is a picture of the bees so called 'vibrating' the hornets. Thank you for reading, if you found this article is interesting, follow me for more interesting articles in the future =)

Why Carbonated Drinks are called 'Soft Drinks'

Today I found out why flavored carbonated beverages are called 'soft drinks'. *trying new font*

It turns out, soft drinks aren’t just flavored carbonated beverages. 'Soft Drink' refers to nearly all beverages that do not contain significant amounts of alcohol (hard drinks).

The term 'soft drink' though is now typically used exclusively for flavored carbonated beverages. This is actually due to advertising. Flavored carbonated beverage makers were having a hard time creating national advertisements due to the fact that what you call their product varies from place to place. For instance, in parts of the United States and Canada, flavored carbonated beverages are referred to as 'pop' in other parts 'soda' in yet other parts 'coke' and there are a variety of other names commonly used as well. Then if we go international with the advertisements, in England these drinks are called 'fizzy drinks' in Ireland sometimes just 'minerals'. Weirrrrrd...

To account for the fact that they can’t refer to their product in the generic sense on national advertisements, because of these varied terms, these manufactures have chosen the term 'soft drink' to be more or less a universal term for flavored carbonated beverages.

Interestingly, according to a study done in 2006, most carbonated 'soft' drinks actually do contain a little alcohol. In older methods of introducing the CO2 to the drink, this was resulting from natural fermentation, similar to hw most beer gets its alcohol. However, with modern methods of introducing CO2 to the drink, this is not an issue. Yet measurable amounts of alcohol remain. This is due to the fermentation of sugars in the non-sterile environment of the drink. In some types of soda-pop, additional alcohol is also introduced due to the fact that alcohol is used in the preparation of some of the flavor extracts. However, before anyone starts campaigning to make soda-pop illegal for kids due to the alcohol content, it should be noted that a typical container of yogurt of similar volume to some amount of soda-pop, will contain about 2 times the amount of alcohol over the amount in the soda-pop. In conclusion, think before you drink =)

Alcohol ----> *Drunkenness*

We all know what is alcohol. It is the chemical that makes us drunk when taken excessively. Many people do not know that actually alcohol is present in our body at all times weather we consume liquor or not. After every meal we eat, the carbohydrates, starch and sugar forms alcohol and enter the bloodstream. So, there is always about one gram of alcohol circulating in our body at all times.

So now, what happens if we take in additional alcohol? Alcohol is a narcotic, which is like a drug. It is a substance which enters nerve cells quickly and tends to paralyze them. Before this paralysis happens, alcohol stimulates the cells, it puts them in a state of excitement.

The first thing alcohol does to the system is stimulate the gastric and salivary glands to produce their juices. That is why many European people consume alcohol before having their meal to stimulate their appetite. The body absorbs the alcohol very quickly while sugar and carbon dioxide speed up the absorption. Champagne for instance contains both sugar and carbon dioxide, which is why it acts so quickly and produces such a stimulating effect.

So now, how does the alcohol effect the brain? The first effect is a feeling of stimulation as I mentioned earlier. For example, ones action and speech seem to be speeded up. The skin gets redder, blood pressure rises and the heard beats faster. As a result, breathing is quickened too. This is why people who consume alcohol tends to blush easily and have a healthier life because of the faster heartbeat is similar to activities of exercise. That does not mean it is all good for you too. Too much alcohol and you will get your liver failing and hypertension.

The other effects of alcohol to the brain is it exerts a depressing effect to the brain. Our ability to observe, think and pay attention is affected. As the higher functions of the brain are paralyzed, the power to control moods is lost. Another serious effect is that inhibitions are relaxed. In our body, there are nerve fibres called inhibitory fibres which acts as brakes in the nervous system. They are developed as the result of education and training and makes us more disciplined. Under the influence of alcohol, this inhibitory fibres are paralyed and our controls are relaxed. This makes our judgement unclear and we are ready to say or do things we would never do if our minds were normal. Therefore, alcohol has produced a state of drunkenness.

Okay, I am not saying that consuming alcohol is bad, there are many advantages of it too. If you were to consume alcohol, my advise to everyone is that consume it in a balanced ratio and do not consume too much until it causes drunkenness.

Racial Discrimination

Okay everyone, this is a very important topic and it is a sensitive topic too. I am sorry if I uncomfort anyone reading this and correct me if I am wrong.

So now, what is racial discrimination? What causes it? Is it the people or do politics play a big role? Here in Malaysia, racial discrimination happens not so much as other regions of the world such as America and Australia. That does not mean there is no such activities happening. As a student and a citizen, I have seen many stories relating to racial discrimination. Most of my friends are non-Muslims and many of them state that the Muslims of the country are racist. There are many reasons for this such as we get less opportunities in jobs and scholarships. I disagree with this statement because we cannot go out telling that other races are racist. It is not the race that is racist, it the people. For instance, if we go to Australia and some of them treat us very unfairly, we cannot put the Australians are racist because it is the minorities who are like that. There are still some of them who are not, so I advice those people who state that Muslims or other races are racist to take that back because it is the people, not the race.

To make people think out of the box, we must realize that we cant judge other races by the things we see in our everyday life. We do not know that people of our race too might be racist towards other races in other parts of the world. This world is imperfect and we must realize that. I only appreciate fairness to all people without judging people by their race and colour. If someone is racist towards others, you should just advise them not to do so because it will lead to havoc. To achieve peace, the many races must come to one unity and live together in harmony. We might not know that our people might be doing the same thing without we knowing it. We have to be fair to all so that fair will come to us all.

In conclusion, I would like to say that I wish everyone to live in a world free of racial discrimination. I respect all races and religions in every way and hope they do too.

IQ

Okay, so what is IQ? We all hear people telling geniuses have high IQ, but what exactly is IQ? The letters 'I.Q' actually means Intelligence Quotient. We can measure the height of a person but can we measure mental development? Many mental tests have been worked out for this purpose. Here is how it is done in brief.

First we find out which problems can be resolved by children of various ages. Six year olds can do certain problems while eight year olds can do others and so on... Now suppose we give a test for the six year olds to various children. A four year old and five year old can also do them. On the other hand, there maybe children of age ten or twelve who find it difficult to do them. So now we have a way to measure intelligence. If the six year olds can do just the six year old test, he is average. If a child of four or five can do this test, he is superior. If a ten year old can't even do a six year old's test, he is just plain retarded, lol...

IQ is a way of describing the results of these tests in mathematical terms. For example, a six year old child who has the mental age of six has an IQ of 100. The mental age is divided by the chronological age which is also known as the age in years [Source : Wikipedia]... Then, it is multiplied by 100 and 'TA-DAH' you got an IQ. If a five year old has a mental age of six, his IQ is 120 (six divide five, times 100). IQ between 90 and 100 are average. Those above 110 are considered superior

I have conducted an IQ test from an official IQ website. There are many sites where you can check your IQ but most of them are bust or fake. My IQ has been calculated and the results is...................................(drum rolls)...................................128 =)

The Death of Our Sun *EPIC SCREAMS*

All things must end. Thats true for humans, the Earth and also our Sun. Its not going to happen tomorrow or the day after but it will happen sometime in the future. The Sun as we all know it is just a giant ball of fuel burning in space. Its fuel consist of hydrogen and helium. One day it will run out of fuel and 'KABOOM'

The Sun have been there where we know it for about 4.6 billion years I think. The Sun is currently burning with Hydrogen in its core where intense temperatures and pressures allowed the Sun to release Helium. Helium gas is not able to be used as the fuel for the Sun because its temperature is still too low. The death of the Sun will come when the Hydrogen fuel finishes. The Sun will shrink to a smaller size where it will be hot enough to start burning the Helium and when this happens, the Sun will expand so big, it will explode. Now let me explain it in a more detail manner.

The Sun is converting 5 million tonnes of Hydrogen into Helium every second. This may sound a lot but it is enough to fuel the Sun for about another 5 billion years. When the Sun swells up because of the lack of fuel and start burning Helium, it will turn into a giant red star. Some experts say it will expand beyond the orbits of Mercury and Venus and possibly Earth. Even if the Sun does not explode or survives from being eaten up by the Sun, the intense heat from the giant red star will make it impossible to survive.

Once it has become a giant red star, the Sun is not exactly dead yet but its time is almost up. It will still have enough heat in its core to start begin the second round of fusion which burns up the Helium gas as I mentioned earlier. When helium runs out, the Sun wont have enough gravity to keep the core temperature and pressure. At this point, the Sun will slough off its outer layers into space in a huge burst, like what we learnt in school.

The dying core of the Sun will be about Earth sized and it is called a white dwarf. It will slowly cool off over billions of years eventually reaching the temperature of the Universe and it will be called the Black Dwarf. Now there you go, a guide from the Sun's birth to its death. Now everyone, live your life like there is tomorrow because we only have 5 billion years! xD!

The Bermuda Triangle *spooky tone*

The Bermuda Triangle. Mysterious? Scientific? Maybe both? The Bermuda Triangle (BT for short) has been an area of interest for centuries. The BT spans from the coast of Maimi, Bermuda and San Juan in Puerto Rico covering roughly 500, 000 square miles, thats a lot of sea! Christopher Columbus, the first person to travel around the world by sea was the first to document something strange in this triangle. He reported that he and his crew observed 'strange dancing lights on the horizon' and at another point he wrote in his log about bizarre compass bearings at the area in 1492. That was a long long long time ago, we need some real facts!

The disappearance of the famous flight 19 in 1945 grabbed the curiosity of many. And so, till that day the mystery of the BT began. The story that started it all, on December 5th, 1945, flight 19, disappeared off the coast of Florida. It was a routine training mission where 5 torpedo bombers carrying 14 men were assigned to follow a triangular route. Approximately after 2 hours after flight 19 have left, a radio message had been intercepted between the lead pilot of flight 19 and another pilot of the flight reporting that the compasses were malfunctioning. The lead pilot was uncertain where the Florida coast was began to work out a plan to ditch the plane at sea because of the lack of fuel. That was the last reported radio contact of flight 19. At 7:30 pm that day, a patrol plane was launched in search of the missing plane and it too along with the crew disappeared.

In March 1918, the US Navy lost the USS Cyclops and all 306 crew members. In February 1965, SS Marine Sulphur Queen carrying molten Sulphur sank. Neither the USS Cyclops or the SS Marine Sulphur Queen were recovered. These events were one of many, there have been several losses documented in the region of BT.

So what is causing this events to happen in the BT? Nobody knows how it happens but there have been many theories. One of it is the electronic fog. Many people have reported seeing portals opening up in the cloudy skies and electromagnetical distortions called 'electronic fog' that can cause the disappearance of planes and ships. Well, I have certainly never heard of any crap called electronic fog before, but it might happen as portals exist.

UFO? The BT is an area with one of the highest incidences of UFO sightings. No wander that alien abductions have been popular around the region of the BT. Some believe that aliens use the BT as a collection stations. Magnetic anomalies? Compass problems is one of the causes mentioned in the BT incidents. People have thought that a a possibility of a strange local magnetic anomalies in the area. Atlantis? Some people believe that the BT is the home to the city of Atlantis. Legend has it that the city of Atlantis utilizes the power of unusual energy crystals that are very powerful and these crystals are in distorted state of some kind and send out rays of energy that affects the navigational instruments of boats and planes.

What about black holes? Some people believe that there is a black hole located in the BT. It sucks up the ships or planes before they knew what hit them. Others believe that the black hole is at the bottom of the ocean. It is theorized that the black hole is connected to another black hole on the other side of the planet ocean floor. Last but not least, the all time favourite of mine, SEA MONSTERS! XD!! Many people like me attribute the disappearance of boats and planes that occur in the BT to enormous sea monsters. This sea monsters is not like the monsters you will see in cartoons but maybe the mystical 'Lockness Monster' or other undiscovered sea creatures that could possibly live in that area.

Okay, now I will blog on another classmate of mine who blogged about me earlier this week, her name is Alya Adflin. You can see what she wrote about me at alya-afdlynn.blogspot.com at the post titled 'Jash'

Alya has been my classmate since primary school. We went to the same secondary school but were different classes during our form 1 and 2 years. She has been the nice and quiet type of girl who is always kind and humble to me. She is also very pretty and knows how to dress up. She is the fun type of girl who has good friends. She sometimes can be sensitive too, xD. Well, I have to say I am happy that she is my classmate. Hope you will remember me after my SPM Alya =)

Does Santa Claus Exist!?!??!

Today I would like to discuss weather does the famous Santa Claus exists or not. Now, to start, let me give you some facts. In the world, there is approximately 2.5 billion children. 33% of these households are Christians(who celebrate Christmas). Which means, there is 825 million Christian children in the world. Assuming there are 2.5 children per home on average, that means there are 330 million homes that Santa must visit on Christmas. Thats one busy Santa, xD.

Now, lets assume there is 1 good child in each home to receive a present. So, how does Santa work?

Now, lets assume that Santa travels from east to west which gives him 31 hours due to the rotation of the earth(31 hours instead of 24). 31 hours in 33 million homes, then Santa have to visit approximately 3000 homes per second. So each home he got 0.0033 seconds to drop off presents, drink milk, eat cookies, get back up chimney and slide down back down the chimney of the next home. That means the sleigh must be amazingly fast! So now lets assume these presents are evenly distributed across the globe and the average separation of each home is 0.78 miles. Multiply that by the number of homes he visits and Santa will end up travelling 258 million miles in that 31 hours. Doing this, this gives an average speed of 2300 miles per second! By the way, a normal reindeer can run at about 15 miles per hour only.

Now, how much does this super fast sleigh weigh? Now lets assume that each child gets a medium size present that weighs 0.9kg. How many reindeer would it take to pull his sleigh? He would need at least 36, 000 reindeer to pull his sleigh. So the weight of this sleigh plus the presents plus the 36, 000 reindeer plus one fat Santa, xD equals to 879, 000 tonnes!

Now, Santa will experience great G-Forces in his journey as well. He must go from rest to 2300 miles per second in 0.006 seconds every time he starts and stops. This has a G-Force of 2.2 billion times the force of gravity. The average human can only survive a force of 30G impact. The force of a 110kg Santa(which I know is light) would be 550, 000, 000, 000 of force! OMFG!

Now, what about air resistance? The air resistance on that speed on that weight would be 3.2 quintillion Watts on the reindeer and would be over 900, 000 times the power that Malaysia uses. The reindeer would be vaporized in 0.000426 seconds, as for the entire team. Therefore, Santa is dead before will ever deliver presents. MUAHAHAHA!! ALL THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN SANTA NOW SHOULD JUST GROW UP!!! (btw this whole post took me a lot of calculations so my head is paining now, so I will continue to blog about something relaxing)

AISYA YUSOF

Okay, a few days ago, my classmate blogged about me, you can see her picture up there with me and her post is at 'aisyarocks.blogspot.com' The deal was if she blogged about me, I will too, so here it goes...

Aisya Yusof is my classmate in my class, 4 Cendekia. I have known her since Form 1 since we went different schools at Year 3. She is tall and model like. Very pretty too and very photogenic. Okay, Aisya has a lot of nice friends too, there is Doda, Farah, Nunu, Sufi, Ren, Imah, Put and Ami. They have are my very good friends and i wish Put and Ami would come back to us from boarding school. Aisya have many hidden talents I admire. Firstly she is a very good artist. She can draw and colour like a pro and trust me, SHES GOOD AND THE BEST I SEEN! Secondly, she is good in designing stuff. From magazines to artworks, she never fails you. Did I mention she is pretty?

Aisya is one of my closest female friends I met in my life. Although, I like to irritate her and make her jealous of her friends, SORRY! She is a big fan of the Jonas Brothers, especially Nick. I am not a big fan of them but I like irritating her and telling her they are gay, lol. So thats about it for my blog today, i think its already super long so have a great day everybody =)

Swear Word Origins! $#!%

Today, I'm going to tell you the origins of the most beloved words in the English Language, xD. The Mother#()@!&$)@&$)@(&$ Donkey Hairy))@#*@*$@{*$@ Swear words =)

I will start with 'Shit'. Before I go any further, I apologize that if I might offend any people here. We get the word 'Shit' from the old English work, 'Skyte' which means 'Dung' and 'Skit' which means 'diarrhea' Now that is pretty straight forward. You got old words which means 'Poop' which evolved into a new word that still means 'Poop' LMAO!

Now, the word 'Asshole' also has a pretty straight forward origin too. The word 'Ass' comes from the British word 'Ars' which in Britain is still the preferred way to say it. Starting not long after the year 1080, the word 'Ars' came into the usage referring to the butt meat of an animal. 300 years later, people started to use the word 'Ars' to refer to the human butt, and another 200 years later, they added the word 'Hole' to the end to refer to ones anus. Add a little of magic and somehow over the past 500 years, the word 'Arshole' has become the word 'Asshole'

The word 'Bitch' has such innocent couple of roots. It originally came from another English word 'Beech' which referred to a dog who just had puppies. Awwww... Now its used as a term for insult against women. The usage of this word began at around the year 1400 and since then it has gone through many other evolutions until it has many other examples. She is a *****, He is a *****, Son of a ***** and so on...

The most common story of the origin of the 'F' word goes as follows. In the middle ages, in order to prevent the spread of disease, specifically the Black Death (a vry fatal disease), couples who wanted to have sexual intercourse had to have royal permission. Once such permission is granted, participating couples will be given a sign to hang on their door when participating in sexual intercourse that read 'F-U-C-K that stands for 'Fornication Under the Consent of the King'. The word 'Fuck' lived happily ever after. Unfortunately, this story is just a legend and haven't been proven true yet. The other origin of the 'F' word is far less interesting. Most likely the word have its roots in old Germanic language. In Swedish, 'Fuuuk' means penis. In Dutch, 'Fuken' means 'to hit' and finally in German, 'Ficken' means to have sex...

So there you have it, the old origins of 4 commonly used English swear words. I sure hope that you all found it interesting. Now, I have something interesting I want you to do. I want you to come up with your totally original swear word and post it as a comment below this blog along with its definition. Have a nice day =)

World War 3 (WWIII) and the Illuminati's conspiracy

I know this post may be a little long, this post will be a series of events that will uncover what the Illuminati really is and how it is making a big impact on the world. The One World plan of the US will not be achieved quite as quickly as World War 3 is looming and Illuminati plays a big role in it.

World War 3 will be between the British Empire and the nations of Eurosia (Russia, China, India) are the targets of the intended warfare by the British Empire which is already turning Europe into a mere colony of the British Empire. The British Empire would control the entire region of Europe from Portugal to the borders of Russia for a financial interests and it is those interests which is represented by the US for taking over the US dollar and control the government and they are moving in for the kill. This is now something like a Hitler concept taking over the US. If they grab the US, then they will grab all of Europe out of the the Lisbon Treaty. This will lead to an actual fighting war emerging on this planet. We will have parts of the populations of the world in starvation and that is the part of the Illuminati's One World's conspiracy

Britain has conquered Palestine from the Turks in 1917-1918. First the British government promised Palestine to the Jews. The British only intended to allow 75, 000 Jewish immigrants into Palestine over the next five years (this as World War 2 was just the begining). Having already promised Palestine to both the Jews and the Palestinian Arabs, Britain this time after World War 2 promised it to Syria. Britain encouraged the Arab states to form an 'Arab League' as the WWII came to an end. The British then simply withdrew, leaving the country that had misgoverned for over 30 years in chaos. But now, most of their common ground is opposition to the US military intervention in ISRAEL!

Now, you have an African population for example (this is just my theory) who is one of the biggest opposition of the British Empire who is not allowed to develop their own territory because London uses all the entire territory to feed their own population. So u have farmers of African Countries feeding the stomach of the British citizens while the rest of the population is inhibited in any attempt to develop.

Now as the world is being destroyed for instance in food industries, we will have big countries like the US, Canada, France, Spain and many more going down as the world stocks gets worse at the same time the recession's happening. The attempt to make war on other major food countries like China, India and Russia are mainly from the British Empire. When these three countries breaks up, the world could go into cold war which would possible lead to World War 3 as the Americans also participate in this. There is a growing expression throughout much of the world with this food shortage issue.

So thats pretty much how World War 3 will take place in the near future at my view and I will explain how the Illuminati plays its role in the next few blogs, this is a wonderful open topic to blog about and how the Illuminati is planning to take over the world. Till then, stay safe ^^

DREAMS!!!

Are you ready for an info-splosion the likes as which the brain have never seen? Do you dare to seek into the world of unknown? Are you prepared to face the deepest, darkest questions to the true nature or the subconscious mind? If so, then be prepared for me to reveal the wonderful facts of dreams!!! epic, xD

A lucid dream is a dream that occurs when one realizes mid-dream when they are dreaming, manages to stay asleep and then takes control of their dream. I can certainly write this whole blog about lucid dreams but I do not have have the whole night. We all know what is it to dream but what are dreams really? What is going on in our brains as we sleep? I m not going to cover everything because dreams is such a massive subject but I am going to share 5 mind blowing facts about dreams.

FACT 1 : Everyone dreams! Well, that was simple, lol. The only exceptions to this is to people who has severe head trauma and have damaged or missing significant chuncks of their brains. Other than that, everyone dreams almost every night. You might not remember your dream but you are in fact dreaming. This also goes for people who are blind or deaf. Just because we intend to associate dreams with vivid images and sounds does not mean that the dreams have to involve images and sounds. Blind people dream, they just dream in the sense other than sight. Deaf people dream too but in he sense other than hearing. We all don't dream in the exact same ways but we do all dream which leads me right into....

FACT 2 : Dreams consist entirely of things we experienced while awake. Every face in our dream is the face we have seen in real life, every action in every dream is an action that we have done or thought about while awake. Now obviously we never have actually done many of the crazy things we do in dreams but because of books, TV, movies, ideas, etc. of crazy things which are always in our brains before we dream about them. This helps to explain...

FACT 3 : Some people only dream in black and white. Because our dreams are influenced by media, those who grew up watching TV in black and white tend to dream in black and white. Interesting.. Upon the invention of colour TV, fewer and fewer people dream exclusively in black and white however 10% of humans still do. Okay, weird...

FACT 4 : Dreams are often just as vivid as real life. When you sleep, your brain tricks itself into the sensations of taste, touch, sound, sight and smell that seems just as real as you are awake. To make sure your body does not do anything silly as the result of this, your brain makes your body into paralysis before you start dreaming. If your brain fails to do this, your body might do something known as sleepwalking. And if your brain does this too well, you might notice something known as sleep-paralysis where you wake up and open your eyes when find that you can't move your body for a few minutes. Finally, we have...

FACT 5 : The average human being spend 6 years of their life dreaming. 6 years is a very long time and I mention this face not so much because of the answers it provides but because of the questions it raises. What are we experiencing in those 6 years? What are those implications of these experiences? There is a lot of mystery and I m curious as the anyone else out there what do we experience. Well, we only can wait for that when we die to ask God so for now, just sit back, relax and enjoy your dreams =)

Marijuana

Decriminalising Marijuana... Now, that is not the same as making Marijuana legal, its just makes it so its not illegal. Now before I go any further, now let me just say, I have never done Marijuana or any other drugs and I never plan on doing Marijuana or any other drugs. Despite that, I think that the Marijuana legalisation is an excellent topic to blog and I support legalising it.

This has nothing to do for me wanting easy excess to drugs or me getting super high, it just makes sense to legalise Marijuana.

POINT NUMBER 1 : Marijuana is not really that bad for you. Many studies have been done by both the government and private institutions and what they have consistently shown is there is no significant differences in long term health between Marijuana users and non-Marijuana users. Now I m not saying that Marijuana can’t be bad to you but I don’t think it would be a very good idea to drive after smoking Marijuana and of course it could be bad in excess but then again also for things like fried chicken or chocolate...

POINT NUMBER 2 : Enforcing Marijuana laws is a huge waste in resources. Prisons around the world are more full then it have ever been and this is in large part because of increasing arrest rates of non-violent drug offenders. It costs over RM50, 000 in average to keep one Marijuana user in jail for one year, multiply that by all the Marijuana users in jails around the world right now and you have a country that is wasting billions. Now, that is not even counting all the money that we spend paying police officers for cracking down their time for Marijuana offenders and they could be doing something far more useful. Besides, Marijuana is so easy to get hold anyways that any attempt by law enforcement to eliminate its use is preety feudal.

POINT NUMBER 3 : If Marijuana is legal, it can be made by major companies for two main reasons. Production can be regulated and as a result, the product will probably be cleaner and safer and we could tax it just like we tax cigarettes and alcohol. If were to combine all the money for not having to enforce Marijuana laws and all the money gained from taxing all the Marijuana sales, we would have a freaking ton of ca$h. That money could be spent building road, schools, hospitals, funding drug prevention programmes, it just makes sense...

POINT NUMBER 4 : What responsible adults do in the privacy in their own homes as long as it does not endanger themselves or others is really not the government’s business. Malaysia was founded with the idea of that would be limited government interracial and people would people would preety much be able to do what they want. If someone would want to have a glass of wine or smoke a cigarette, is that something that we need to be worried about? I mean, is that something that the government should be worried about? Now, please don’t get me wrong here, I do not smoke and I would never smoke regardless of illegality but that is my choice and I belive that others should have the right to choose like they wish as well.

Smoking and doing Marijuana is bad and I advice everyone not to smoke or do drugs regardless of what my thoughts above. Never smoke or do drugs, but consuming alcohol is not that bad compared to it, for example drinking a glass of wine can increase one’s life span and strengthening their heart but then again not in excess. So those are my thoughts on Marijuana and other stuff and now I want to know yours. Post a comment below on your thoughts on legalising Marijuana.

The Most Freakingly Coincidence in History of Mankind

I would like to dedicate this post to my friends, Izrin, Azfar and Iqram... I got this from an email..

Abraham Lincoln

John F. Kennedy

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.
Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
Both Presidents were shot in the head

Now it gets really weird...

Lincoln 's secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln .

Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln , was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.

John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln , was born in 1839.

Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.

Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Ford.'
Kennedy was shot in a car called ' Lincoln ' made by 'Ford.'

Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse.
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater.

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe , Maryland
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe.

IS THIS CREEPY OR WHAT!?!?!?!?!?

2012 - The End Of The World?!?!?!?

There is a lot of hype flowing around the Internet about the world in 2012 and it being the end of the world. Being there is a lot of hype on the Internet about the world at 2012 and being I get a lot of questions on 2012 being the end of the world, I'm going to blog about the world at year 2012 being the end of the world.

Alright, to start, let me give you the two main reasons why so many people are speculating about 2012 being the end of the world:

NUMBER 1 : On December 21st 2012, for the first time in 26, 000 years, the Earth, the Sun and the center of the Milkyway Galaxy are all suppose to line up. Well, human beings haven't been around to see this sort of thing happen before but there are those who speculate that when this happens, its going to be some sort of a negative impact on the world, like for example, ending it...

NUMBER 2 : On December 21st 2012, The Mesoamerican Long Count Calendar or just the Mayan calendar for short, that has been counting down for over 5, 000 years comes to an end. Again, humans haven't been around to see this sort of things happening happen before but there are those who speculate that this too means the end of the world.

Now, is it remarkable that both these events are happening on the same day? Absolutely! Is it possible that it might be linked? Sure... The Mayans were very advanced for an ancient society and very well could have predicted this celestial event and set it as the end of their long count calendar. Does this coincidence however means that the world is coming to an end? Nope, I dont think so.

People have predicted the end of the world as being the year 1000, 1666, 1910, 1924, 1954, 1992, 2000... There have literally been thousands of doomsday predictions made throughout history but frankly, we are still here =.='' There is really nothing about this 2012 predictions that set that apart from the past predictions other than the fact it is getting so much attention.

The 2012 Apocalypitic predictions are baseless from historical view as well. Well yes, the ancient Mayans did in fact say that December 21st 2012 as the end of their long count calendar. This is not ment to be the end of time for the Mayans but its just simply the end of an era. If the Mayans still exist as a great society today, they would probably have another long count calendar to take the place of the old calendar as soon as it is done. Most historians think that the end of the calendar for the Mayans would be a time for celebrations, it would'nt be feared as the time for the end of the world.

So why is it so many people buy into this baseless theories about the end of the world? What we don't know scares us, and when we are scared of something, we tend to speculate about it and when we speculate about something, we tend to have fun. Its not the same sort of fun like we ride a roller coaster or go to a game but more like a fear induced adrenaline rush, the same reason we go and see horror movies.

The fact is nobody knows when the end of the world is going to be and when someone claims to, they are either an asshole, naive, crazy or out to make a buck. December 21st 2012 IS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD!!! I will bet whoever is reading my blog a Gazillion U$ Dollars that it will not happen, but even if does happen, we would all be dead and I won't pay you =) Leave a comment below on your thoughts on my theory about December 21st 2012 being the end of the world.
