The alkaline nature of earthenware or clay pots neutralizes the acidic nature of food, maintains the pH balance, and makes food simple for you to digest.

"Smells Like Teen Spirit" was a furious rock anthem that exploded out of the speakers, making everything else on MTV seem puny and insignificant in comparison. The author of the song heard it differently. "It's such a perfect combination of cleanliness and nice, candy-ass production," Cobain said in an interview with biographer Michael Azerrad. "It may seem extreme to those who aren't used to it, but I think it's kind of lame."

These active volcanoes account for over 75% of all volcanic eruptions in the United States over the last 200 years. In the past, this has caused significant problems with aviation and oil production, resulting in millions of dollars in damage from volcanic ash.

Butterscotch candy is thought to have originated in the early 1800s in Yorkshire, England. The term "butterscotch" is supposed to be a combination of the terms "butter" and "scotch," both of which signify to cut or score.

The British Museum was founded in 1753 when Sir Hans Sloane left his collection to the nation. But before the Museum could open to the public, a suitable site needed to be purchased. One of the locations considered was a place called Buckingham House, which was later rebuilt as Buckingham Palace! But the Trustees agreed instead to move into Montague House, the site of the current Museum, and the rest is history! Or should that be geography?

Rattlesnakes, like other snakes, lack an eardrum in their inner ear anatomy, which prevents them from hearing sounds in the air. While some reptiles, like some species of lizard, have tympanic membranes, a snake's inner ear is directly attached to its mouth. Snakes must instead rely on their jaws to detect vibrations. However, there is an ongoing controversy among biologists as to whether snakes perceive sound through pressure or mechanical body vibrations.

An English writer named Frank Beringer established the popular meal of millennials in 1895, when he wrote an essay titled "Brunch: a Plea" in Hunter's Weekly newspaper. In his piece, he presented a "brunch" alternative to the usual Sunday supper.

While most people add roses to their gardens for their beauty, roses have a long history of being used as food and medicine. Roses are classified as "herbs," and as such, they are considered useful plants. Their petals are edible, and rose water (made by soaking the petals in water) is frequently used to flavor jellies and jams, as well as in Indian and Chinese dishes. Keep in mind that if you're going to eat roses, they should be chemical-free. Use roses that have not been sprayed with pesticides or other chemicals, and avoid using cut roses from a flower shop or supermarket because they have been grown with a variety of chemicals. It is possible to grow your own roses.

It was referred to as Punaka Desha in certain old sources before becoming Punekavadi, Punevadi, and Kasaba Pune. The nearby Lord Shiva temple Punyeshwar is where the city earned its name, claims historian Mandar Lavate. Up until 1978, Pune's official name was Poona.

The inaugural race was held at Valentino Park in Turin, Italy, and was won by a driver in an Alfa Romeo 158. This event was part of Achille Varzi's spectacular recovery from a drug-fueled past. The inaugural race was held in 1946, but the first world championship would not be held until 1950. On May 13th, 14 teams and many independent drivers competed in the championship race, with Giuseppe Farina claiming the win.

Surprisingly, not all of the useful DNA in your chromosomes comes from your evolutionary ancestors; some was borrowed from somewhere else. At least eight retrovirus genes have been found in your DNA. This is a virus that takes over a cell by exploiting the cell's DNA coding mechanisms. These genes were eventually incorporated into human DNA at some point in history. These viral genes in DNA now play critical roles in human reproduction, despite the fact that they are completely foreign to our genetic ancestors.
