The prehistoric monument underwent several modifications beginning more than 5,000 years ago and did not begin as a circle of stones. It started out as a modest earthwork enclosure where prehistoric humans buried their dead. The circular earth bank and ditch that surrounds the stones date back to roughly 3,100 BC, while the monument's inner stone circle was built in the late Neolithic period, circa 2,500 BC. The stones were rearranged and new ones were placed during the next few hundred years, with the formation as we know it today being completed between 1,930 and 1,600 BC.

Your liver uses cholesterol to make bile acids, and bile is the only way your body can get rid of excess cholesterol.

Your body also uses cholesterol to make sex hormones, like estrogen and testosterone. If you have liver disease, you’ll have trouble absorbing fats as well as hormonal problems.

But fats are chemically different from cholesterol; the body burns fats for energy. That’s why food labels list fat and cholesterol separately.

This may come as a surprise given that Eric McCormack (better known as Will from Will & Grace) made headlines when he revealed that he auditioned "two or three times" for Ross. However, because executive producer Kevin Bright had previously worked with Schwimmer, the writers were already developing Ross's character in Schwimmer's voice. Schwimmer was, in fact, the first person to be cast in the show

If you’ve watched your little kitty charging around the living room when they’re feeling lively you know that cats are pretty quick, but you won’t believe this cat fact. They can hit speeds of around 30mph which is so fast that they could beat Usain Bolt in a 200-meter dash!

They can tell the difference between warm-blooded and cold-blooded creatures and exclusively hunt the latter. In fact, in the natural, they would aggressively shun humans. As a result, they have never and will never kill a human. The sea lamprey's natural nature is to cling to things, such as the glass wall of its tank, the pebbles on the sea (or lake) floor, and so on. As a result, if one is put up to a human, it will most likely latch on like a leech. Its suction is quite forceful and can be extremely painful, putting intense pressure on the area of contact. While the bite is eventually unpleasant, no one has to be concerned unless they intentionally introduce the sea lamprey.

Eggshells have a porous structure. That is, they allow air to pass through. As eggs age, they absorb air and form an air pocket. In general, you can test the freshness of an egg by placing it in a cup of water. If the egg floats, it means it is old and has a large air pocket, and you should avoid eating it. If the egg remains on the bottom, it is usually safe to eat. You can smell an egg before eating it to ensure that it is fresh. If it smells sour, you should avoid it.

At first, the iPhone was not going to be a smartphone. Steve Jobs actually told his engineers to explore the idea of touchscreen and tablets. Because there were no touchscreen gadgets at the moment. Later, the engineers came with some prototype to Steve Jobs of their touchscreen tablet. However, he liked the design and told the engineers to make a smartphone instead. Because at that time, there were no tablets in the market, and Steve Jobs thought that a new type of device might not be successful. However, later, they obviously made the iPad.

They can remember where they grew up, but not the meeting their boss told them about 3 minutes earlier. Having a good calendar and reminder system can be one of the most important strategies for someone with ADHD.

Changes to the screenplay came in so late, according to Matthew Wood, sound editor on The Rise of Skywalker, that he had to visit the house of Adam Driver, who played villain Kylo Ren throughout the last trilogy, to record him delivering a few new and crucial lines in a pretty low-tech setting. "I ended up opening one of his closets where he kept all of his suits, and I simply shoved the suits out of the way and said, 'put your head in here,'" Wood explained on The Week's SoundWorks Collection podcast.

Although no one knows for certain, it appears that cricket started in the hands of shepherds as a simple method to pass the time while protecting a sheep. Our first impression of cricket was that the cricket balls were made of cotton and that the bowlers' speed was likely unattainable. Cricket has been recorded in English history since 1597, when in a dispute over land possession, he cited the game of "creckkett." However, it took over ten thousand years until the first formal cricket match was held in 1877.

A food allergen is a kiwi. A sore throat, runny nose, and itchy eyes are possible side effects for people allergic to kiwis. People who experience severe allergic reactions may have trouble breathing or develop hives. People allergic to latex or pollen are more likely to react allergically to kiwis.

Ancient trumpets made of silver and bronze have been discovered in Egyptian graves, and similar instruments have also been discovered in Scandinavia, Asia, and South America. The earliest trumpets, however, were used for military and religious purposes rather than for musical performance, so this does not imply that King Tut was playing in a jazz band.

The appendix used to be mainly disregarded as being useless. The appendix would need to be removed in the event of appendicitis, a potentially fatal condition. The vermiform appendix was the subject of study by Randal et al. in 2007 at Duke University. The probiotic bacteria in the appendix were found to release when the body was being attacked by a particular sort of infection, as was discovered by the researchers. When the body is contaminated, the appendix accomplishes this by releasing them into the cecum.

Dust mites may make your skin crawl just thinking about them, but they are a necessary evil. To prevent allergic reactions and maintain low populations (and poop)

The Bulgarian population is on the shorter end of the European continent, despite Europeans being typically among the tallest people in the world. Female height is 164 cm on average, whereas male height is 178 cm. Nevertheless, these figures are greater than the global average for both genders regarding height.

Throughout their lives, clownfish experience what it's like to be each gender. They are all born male, but some of them mature into girls (a process known as sequential hermaphroditism). Both are born with both male and female parts, and some males become alpha females if alpha females die.

The pressure at the ocean's bottom would crush you like an ant. The water pressure in the Mariana Trench (35,802 feet below the surface), which includes the planet's deepest point, is eight tonnes per square inch. It would feel like you were holding up nearly 50 jumbo jets if you made your way down there.
