When you think you can smell snow, you aren’t actually smelling anything. It’s a sensory experience caused by colder weather, humidity, and the feeling of cold air.

The cold slows down air molecules, humidity boosts your olfactory nerves, freezing air hits the nerve that transmits sensations from your face to your brain, and this creates the crisp ‘scent’ of snow.

For nearly 2 centuries, Denmark was at war with the Spanish town of Huéscar - but not a single shot was fired, and no one was killed.

After war was declared in 1809, everyone completely forgot about it, so there were never any battles.

A peace treaty was finally signed in 1981, when a historian happened upon the official declaration of war and realized the countries technically should have been fighting each other for the past 172 years.

There’s no such thing as a ‘sugar high.’

Research shows no evidence that sugar makes kids extra hyper- we’re just so conditioned to think it does that we often perceive 'changes’ in a child’s behavior when we think they’ve eaten too much sugar, even if they haven’t actually had any at all.

Why women make better assassins....

The CIA had an opening for an assassin.

After all the background checks, interviews and testing were done, there were three finalists: two men and a woman.

For the final test, the CIA agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun.

“We must know that you will follow your instructions no matter what the circumstances . Inside the room you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Kill her.”

“You can’t be serious. I could never shoot my wife”.

The agent said, “Then you are not the right man for this job. Take your wife and go home”.

The second man was given the same instructions. He took the gun and went into the room. All was quiet for about five minutes. The man came out with tears in his eyes,

“I tried, but I can’t kill my wife.”

The agent said, “You don’t have what it takes, so take your wife and go home”

Finally, it was the woman’s turn. She was given the same instructions to kill her husband. She took the gun and went into the room. Shots were heard one after another.

They heard screaming, crashing, and banging on the walls. After a few minutes, all was quiet. The door opened slowly and there stood the woman, wiping sweat from her brow.

“The gun was loaded with blanks” she said.

“I had to kill him with the chair”

Sound changes when it snows.It seems quieter right after a snowfall because a blanket of fresh powder is absorbing the sound waves- but once the snow melts and refreezes, it then creates a reflective surface that amplifies sound by allowing it to travel farther than normal.

Adjusting your rate of speech can make you more persuasive. Slower speech gives someone who’s bound to disagree with you more time to evaluate your point, add in their own thoughts, and dismiss your reasoning with their own existing bias - but talking fast leaves them less time to form an argument and significantly increases your chances of persuading them.

Too much to handle man

[did-you-know]

You can’t usually smell your own house (or perfume) because of a survival instinct called ‘olfactory adaptation.’ The brain is always looking for new, unusual, or changing smells as a sign of possible danger, so it ignores all the smells that have already become familiar.

Alice Lee Roosevelt Longworth, daughter of Theodore Roosevelt, was known for smoking in public, swearing at officials, riding in cars with men, late-night partying, and owning a pet snake during an era where women were expected to conform. 

When an offended dignitary asked the president if he could control his daughter, he replied, “I can do one of two things. I can be President of the United States or I can control Alice. I cannot possibly do both.”
