A girl's brain is busy developing fine motor skills, verbal skills, and social skills in her first five years of life, all of which are highly valued by parents and teachers. Meanwhile, a boy's brain is hard at work developing gross motor, spatial, and visual skills. All of these abilities are useful for hunting. As a result, when it comes to learning and fitting in, boys frequently start school at a distinct disadvantage.

Austrians celebrated their victory over Hungary during the 1848 revolution by clinking their drinks during a toast. Since then, Hungarians have avoided clinking their glasses while toasting since it reminds them of their loss. Instead, if you're drinking a beer in Hungary, say "Egészségedre" while looking your drinking companions in the eyes.

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. During youthful love, our senses are heightened, and our fight or flight reaction system is activated.

Now, before you start freaking out, please hear us out! Sedentism is encouraged in today's environment. After all, we sit during our commutes, to eat, to watch TV, to work, to socialise with our friends, and so on. It turns out that even if you exercise regularly, it won't keep you safe from the risks of the "office lifestyle."

Your brain is working on problem solving and learning skills while you sleep. If you're learning a new skill or studying new information, getting enough sleep and having dreams can help you learn faster.

According to a neurologist research, some individuals who have had brain trauma and have acquired damage on the right side of their brain have an obsessive preoccupation with making jokes that they deem humorous while not finding other people's jokes funny.

The amount of bourbon barrels in Kentucky outnumbers the state's population by more than two million. That's quite a bit of bourbon. Kentucky is the home of bourbon and produces 95 percent of the world's supply.

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.

In the second millennium BC, ancient Egyptians described hysteria for the first time. The term 'hysteria' was coined by Hippocrates from the Greek adjective hysterikos, which means "from the womb." He blamed hysteria on the womb wandering within the female body, which caused anxiety, tremors, convulsions, paralysis, and a sense of suffocation. Hysteria was first associated with the brain in the 18th century, rather than the uterus. According to Sigmund Freud, it is caused by trauma and can affect both sexes. The DSM did not remove the concept of hysterical neurosis until 1980. Dissociative disorders are now thought to cause hysterical symptoms.

In another University of Pennsylvania research, one group learnt about a starving small child, another about millions dying of hunger, and a third about both conditions. People gave more than twice as much money when they heard about the little girl as when they heard the statistics—and even those who heard her tale in the context of the larger tragedy gave less. Psychologists believe that we are predisposed to help the person in front of us, but when the situation feels too vast, we believe that our small contribution is insignificant.

Guns and tiny toddlers are the ideal mix for having fun. A terrific location to take your kids, ages 12 to 18, that is completely safe. Simply purchase a ticket for them and they are set to enjoy their time at the military "Disney" camp. Despite the fact that this location is officially affiliated with Disney, the character of this "amusement park" is everything from childlike. Professionals teach children how to handle assault and sniper rifles and even introduce them to bare-handed fighting. Every day that they stay there, they practise their survival abilities, as the campers typically take on an obstacle course and form teams for sporting contests after breakfast.

According to folklore, after fighting for the Imperial Japanese Army, Korean soldier Yang Kyoungjong was captured and forced to serve for the Soviet Red Army, and then the German Wehrmacht. During this period, the Allies arrived in France, and Yang was captured by the US Army.

In the 13th century, Pope Gregory IV waged war against cats. He said that black cats were Satan's tools. He commanded the annihilation of these felines throughout Europe as a result of this notion. This strategy, however, backfired, resulting in a rise in the number of plague-carrying rats.

The date of February 14 was formally named "St. Valentine's Day" by Roman Pope Gelasius around the end of the fifth century. However, it wasn't until the Middle Ages that the festival became connected with love and passion, a tradition that sprang from the widespread belief in France and England that birds began their mating season on February 14.

Pluto is no longer a planet, but it is still a good bet for lightening up. On the dwarf planet, a person weighing 150 pounds (68 kilogrammes) would weigh no more than 10 pounds (4.5 kg). Jupiter, on the other hand, has the most crushing gravity, weighing more than 354 pounds (160.5 kg). Mars, the planet most likely to be visited by humans, would also leave explorers dazed. Mars' gravitational pull is only 38% that of Earth's, implying that a 150-pound person would feel as if they weighed 57 pounds (26 kg). You are not fat, you are just on the wrong planet. 

Ancient Egyptians regarded cats to be sacred creatures. Most households are said to have kept a cat as a pet because they felt it would bring them good luck!

Walter Arnold of the English town of Paddock Wood, Kent, was the first person to be charged for speeding, according to Guinness World Records. On January 28, 1896, Arnold was caught driving four times the speed limit in his 19th-century Benz—but because the speed limit at the time was only two miles per hour, he wasn't travelling too fast by today's standards. The officer had to track him down on his bike, issuing a £4 7s penalty and earning Arnold the swift distinction.

In terms of the most educated population, Ukraine ranks fourth in the world. 99.4% of Ukrainians aged 15 and up can read and write. 70% of adult Ukrainians have a secondary or higher level of education. Even Ukraine's current heavyweight champions, Vitali and Wladimir, have doctorates.

Though some historians think that Valentine's Day commemorates St. Valentine's death on February 14, others believe that the event derives from a Pagan fertility festival known as "Lupercalia," which was held on February 15 in ancient Rome. The day was dedicated to Faunus, the Roman god of agriculture, and the Roman founders Romulus and Remus, and was celebrated by sacrificing animals and slapping women with animal skins, a technique thought to increase fertility.

Being an astronaut is a serious profession, but they do allow for little fun every now and again. In space, "fun" activities, like as imbibing alcohol, are absolutely outlawed. However, astronauts have occasionally attempted to defy this regulation. Bottles of cognac have been "smuggled" into spacesuits by a few Russian cosmonauts. Smuggle because they couldn't lawfully transport the forbidden drug into space. They have acknowledged to mislabeling them as "juice bottles" or concealing them inside hollowed-out books. One determined astronaut concealed a little bottle in their blood pressure measurement device's wristband.

Danish researchers investigated 387 pairs of twins in their 70s, 80s, and 90s. They discovered that merely glancing at someone’s face may predict whether they would live until old age. If a person appears younger than their actual age, they will live longer than if they appeared older. And scientists have showed that it is pre-programmed at the DNA level. Telomeres, which are key bits of DNA that signal a cell’s reproduction ability, are also connected to how youthful a person seems. People who appear to be younger have shorter telomeres, yet longer life...

Archaeologists uncovered a tablet in Iraq in 1976, which has since been lost. Researchers, on the other hand, were able to interpret and decipher the writing from an image of the tablet. What were the outcomes? We know the tablet contains jokes, but the complete context has been lost in translation. The world's oldest your mother joke is "...of your mother is by the one who has relations with her." "What or who is it?" Do we comprehend it? No way, but we know a "your mom" joke when we see one!

Wilbur and Orville Wright, popularly known as the Wright Brothers, are famed for inventing the aeroplane, which may lead you to assume they were a well-educated couple, however none of them graduated from college. The discovery gained the brothers fame and money, and thankfully for them, they did not live to become one of those innovators who regretted their creations.

You may hear people claim to be natural multitaskers, and you've probably even seen it in job descriptions, but humans simply cannot multitask. You can listen to music while working, but your brain can only handle one higher-functioning task at a time. That means you'll either be working and ignoring the music, or you'll be working and ignoring the music. People are incapable of thinking about two things at the same time.
