When people meet for the first time, colour recognition accounts for the vast majority of their first impressions. According to studies, those who consistently wear neutral or black make fewer positive first impressions, whereas those who wear brighter colours are more likely to form friendly bonds. Wearing hints of red (for women) or blue (for men) on a first date may result in stronger feelings and a definite second date, whereas those who wear black to a job interview are more likely to be hired.

It may be difficult to believe, but we have roughly the same number of hairs on our bodies as chimps; the difference is that our hairs are useless, being so fine that they are almost invisible. We're not sure why we lost our furry protection. It has been proposed that this was done to help early humans sweat more easily, to make life more difficult for parasites like lice and ticks, or even because our ancestors were partially aquatic.

People who have a full bladder are more convincing liars. A strong urge to use the restroom causes a person to focus on self-control, making lying more plausible. Furthermore, they attempt to prevent unnecessary movement. That's why scientists conducting a scientific experiment believed liars who needed to go to the bathroom.

Why doesn't your stomach digest itself if it has so many enzymes and acids that it can digest a piece of meat? It turns out that it sort of does. The cells that line your stomach proliferate fast in order to replace the cells that are killed in the course of their everyday tasks. Every three days, we develop a new gut lining.

It's extremely unusual, yet it has happened. The event known as "coffin birth" happens when a pregnant woman dies and her kid is born spontaneously owing to gases that build up in the abdominal area, placing pressure on the mother's uterus and driving the baby through the birth pathway. According to Smithsonian, one example of this was discovered in the grave of a mediaeval woman who was buried in Italy in 2010.

When explaining behaviour, we often attribute positive outcomes to internal factors and negative outcomes to external forces. When it comes to other people's actions, however, we usually attribute them to internal characteristics. For example, if we receive a poor grade on a paper, it is the fault of the teacher; if a classmate receives a poor grade, it is because he did not study diligently enough. The actor-observer bias refers to this tendency.

Everyone has experienced the agony of rejection at some point in their lives, but did you know that rejection causes physical harm as well as emotional pain? Even if you are unable to feel physical pain, scientists have discovered that the reactions and cascading events that occur in the brain after rejection or physical pain are nearly identical. Furthermore, the same natural chemical is released in both cases.

Komorebi, for example, means "sunshine flowing through leaves." It's an odd term, but if you start learning Japanese, you'll discover many more.

According to The Rakyat Post, if you ask a Malaysian, they will most likely reply they are Malay, Chinese, Indian, or Dan Lain Lain, which means "other."

Malaysia is a unique melting pot of cultures, with a diverse spectrum of nationalities, and is a popular destination for travellers and expats from all over the world.

Now, before you start freaking out, please hear us out! Sedentism is encouraged in today's environment.

On Mondays, the chance of suffering a heart attack rises by 20% for men and 15% for women. It's most likely due to the stress of having to return to work. However, scientists caution that alcohol drank over the weekend can potentially be a cause of a heart attack.

Queen Elizabeth I used to use ceruse, a combination of white lead and vinegar, to paint her face. Despite how appealing these two components appear, you'll be surprised to learn that they are incredibly corrosive and ageing. "Those ladies that use it on their faces, do rapidly become withered and grey haired, for this doth so terribly dry up the naturall moisture of their flesh," one of her contemporaries observed of women who used ceruse. That sounds like a fantastic concept!

Robin Dunbar, a psychologist and the director of Oxford University's Social and Evolutionary Neuroscience research department, believes that every guy should spend at least two hours a week with 4-5 buddies.

According to research, the average attention span has shrunk by 12 minutes in the last decade. Human attention spans are now shorter than those of goldfish.

John Duns Scotus, a thirteenth-century philosopher, believed that wearing a pointed cap would help spread knowledge from the tip to the brain, and his "Dunsmen" followers wore them as a badge of honour. However, his ideas became less popular in the 1500s, and the meaning of the Duns cap was turned on its head, becoming something of a joke.

Apple actually approached Verizon to collaborate in the making of the iPhone. However, Verizon had some conditions that were not liked by Apple. Thus they reached out to ‘Cingular Wireless’(AT&T Mobility)with the proposal. And, both parties agreed to all the terms and conditions and started to work on the project secretively. After working for over 2 and a half years, Apple unveiled the iPhone. The estimated development cost of the iPhone was about 150 million USD.

You may or may not be aware that love can result in strong infatuation. The same serotonin levels reported in persons with obsessive-compulsive disorder, an anxiety disorder, are found in those with infatuation. This is most likely why you can't seem to think of anyone else while you're in love.

During the first year of being in a romance, a protein in our cells called Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) that is vital for the functions of particular sympathetic and sensory nerve cells, appears to thrive.

Apart from  butter-fingers, crossfire, dustbin, fairy story, slow-coach and whoosh, Charles Dickens is also credited with coining the term "boredom" in the Oxford English Dictionary, which he used in his novel Bleak House (1852-3), but this has since been traced back even further, to 1830.
