Interesting to know..

The bridge (or should it be called tunnel) goes under water to allow movement of ships . In order for ships to pass, this bridge is half under the water. You drive down in the water and then come out on the other side. Truly a marvelous piece of engineering! This bridge is between Sweden and Denmark . The picture was taken from the Sweden side.

Kitchen fire!! what action to take?! Must see!!‏

Useful tip in time of danger.


For your own safety, this is a must see video for everyone.



Read below first then watch the video very informative!

I didn't realize that a wet dish towel can be a one size fits all lid
to cover a fire in a pan!
This is a dramatic video (30-second, very short) about how to deal
with a common kitchen fire ... oil in a frying pan. Read the following
introduction, then watch the show ... It's a real eye-opener!!

At the Fire Fighting Training school they would demonstrate this with a
deep fat fryer set on the fire field. An instructor would don a fire
suit and using an 8 oz cup at the end of a10 foot pole toss water onto
the grease fire. The results got the attention of the students.
The water, being heavier than oil, sinks to the bottom where it
instantly becomes superheated.

Strange Numbers

Think of a number. Double it. Add eight. Divides by two. Subtract the first number.
Your answer is always 4!

Write down any three-figure number. Reverse this number, and subtract the smaller number from the larger. Reverse that number and now add these last two numbers together.
Your answer is always 1089!

Tell their Age!

Here's a fun way to trick your friends into telling you their age - and without knowing they're doing it. In the answer, you'll find the month of their birthday, too! Give them a pencil and paper and ask them to do this sum:
Write down the number of the month in which they were born
- (e.g. April is 4 , July is 7, Oct is 10..and so on)
Here are the 6 steps:
a) ......multiply this by 2
b) ......add 5
c) ......multiply this by 50
d) .....add their age
e) .....subtract 365
f) .....add 115.
The last two numbers of the final total will give their age, and the first number or numbers the month in which they were born.

Let's see what someone aged 12 and born in June would put down:-
a)..... 6 x 2 = 12
b)...... + 5 = 17
c)...... x 50 = 850
d)...... + 12 = 862
e)...... - 365 = 497
f)...... + 115 = 612

There in the answer is the "6" for June, and the "12" for his age.

Days of the week

Time flies by very quickly..
There was a time when the only division of time was a month, because days and weeks were not known to man. When cities were built and they began to flourish, the need for fixing the days for trading, festivals, holidays arose.
The Jews fixed every seventh day of the week for religious purposes. The Babylonians fixed every seventh day for trading and so on..
Then came the need to name these days, the Egyptians named the days after the planets, the Jews gave them numbers beginning with the Sabbath day and finally the Anglo-Saxons named the days after the names of their gods.
They called their Sun god 'Sunnan' and so they named Sunday as Sunnandaeg,
The day of the Moon was called Monandaeg,
Tuesday was named after their god of war call Tiw,and was called Tiwesdaeg,
They named Wednesday after their god Woden,
Thursday was named after the god of thunder 'Thor'
Friday was named after Frigg, the wife of the god Odin
Finally Saturday after the planet Saturn.

Nowadays many of us add colors to our days of week.
Monday is usually black
Tuesday becomes grey
Wednesday turns green
Thursday will slowly be blue
Friday changed to red hot
Saturday becomes yellow
Sunday colors faded??
Comes the cycle of colors all over again...
