In 1916, Charlie Chaplin was making $10,000 a week, making him the highest paid actor of his time.

A Greek philosopher died of laughter when he watched a drunken donkey try to eat some figs..!

Around 200 BC it is said that Greek philosopher, Chrysippus, died of laughter after giving his donkey wine and then watching it try to eat figs. In 1410, King Martin of Aragon died from a combination of indigestion and uncontrollable laughter. More recently, in 1989, Ole Bentzen who was a Danish audiologist died of laughter while watching a movie. His heart was estimated to be beating between 250 and 500 beats per minute causing him to die from cardiac arrest.

There are actual records of death by laughter dating all the way back to ancient Greece. Death may result from several pathologies that deviate from benign laughter. Infarction of the pons and medulla oblongata in the brain may cause pathological laughter. An infarction refers to tissue death caused by an obstruction of the tissue’s blood supply.

It leads to lack of oxygen to the local area and creates a lesion. Laughter can actually cause atonia, muscle that has lost strength, and make one collapse, which can cause trauma. The lesion caused by the infarction can created a type of seizure. Ultimately the complications increase from there and can rarely but legitimately lead to death.

Sugar cures the hiccups 19/20 times!

Hiccups are caused by a spasm in the diaphragm, which is the muscle between your chest and belly that helps airflow, and we actually aren’t all that sure why they occur. In order to stop hiccups the vagus nerve, which is a cranial nerve that allows sensory information about the body’s organs to pass to the brain, must be triggered by another, more powerful, sensation.

Once sugar touches the nerve it forgets to send signals to the brain telling you to hiccup and just tells your brain that you ate sugar. If this doesn’t work because of an imbalance in the brain, more extreme measures can be taken such as implanting a stimulator in the chest that sends rhythmic bursts of electricity to the vagus nerve to get you to stop hiccupping.

Amazing.. The human eye has around 576 megapixels

The average human retina has five million cone receptors on it and 100 million rods that detect monochrome contrast. The cone receptors are responsible for color vision and the rods are play an important role in the sharpness of the image you see.

Both your eyes are continually flicking around to cover a much larger area than your field of vision and the composite image is translated in your brain. It’s similar to stitching together a panoramic photo. In good lighting you can distinguish two fine lines if they’re separated by at least 0.6 arc-minutes.

That would give you an equivalent pixel-size of 0.3 arc-minutes. All in all, the human eye has about 576 megapixels. Women have more cones than men do, and therefore see colors brighter than their male counterparts. However, due to this, men can see better at night.

The sound we hear when we receive a new text message acts as a dopamine cue. This causes us to feel like we're addicted to texting.

People who smoke have a harder time getting tattoos removed...!!

2012-10-15T08:33:00.001-07:00

If you ever regret getting a tattoo and want to get it removed via laser, here's some research that Italian dermatologists have done on the subject: a little less than half of the tattoos can be fully removed with 10 laser treatments. If you get 15 treatments, you can remove up to 75% of them.

Interestingly, though, they've found that people who smoke have 70% less chance of getting the tattoo removed in 10 treatments. Here's some other factors to keep in mind about this: Tattoos that are red or black come off easier. Black is the easiest. Tattoos on feet or legs are harder to remove than in other places.

You forget why you entered a room because passing through doors causes the brain to forget what we were thinking about.

2012-10-15T08:32:00.003-07:00

Notre Dame University researcher Gabriel Radvansky says doorways serve as a type of “event boundary” that the brain uses to separate and store memories. When you enter a new room, your brain updates its understanding of what’s going on in the new environment, which takes some mental effort. This parsing of memory, albeit subtle, leaves the information encoded in the other room (i.e. “Now I’m going to my room to fetch some knickers”) less available in your new location.
