DID YOU KNOW XVI

Hello ladies and gents this is the viking telling you that today we are going to talk about

DID YOU KNOW

1Superman Didn’t Always Fly

The original comic book Superman could leap tall buildings in a single bound—but then he had to come right back down to earth, because he didn’t fly.

2.Showers Spark Creativity

Showers aren’t just good for your hygiene—they’re good for your creativity, too. A recent study out of Drexel University found that over seven out of 10 people have reported experiencing an insight or breakthrough while in the shower. 

3.Kids Ask 300 Questions a Day

A recent British study observed young children and recorded the questions they asked the adults around them. Perhaps not surprisingly, the children usually turned to their mothers for answers, and these moms could end up answering an average nearly 300 questions per day, or one question every two-and-a-half minutes. The moms reported that the hardest questions they were asked included “Why is water wet?” and “What are shadows made of?

4.Space Smells Like Seared Steak

When you see footage of astronauts in their space suits floating peacefully outside their ships, do you ever wonder what space smells like?  That’s usually not the first question people have in mind, but according to some former astronauts, space does have a distinct odor that hangs around when they come back in the ship after a spacewalk. They’ve described it as “hot metal” or “searing steak.”

5.The Healthiest Place in the World Is in Panama

A small valley near Volcán in Panama has garnered the distinction of the world’s healthiest place to live. Called “Shangri-La Valley,” this area is home to beautiful scenery, a low cost of living, and a significantly longer life expectancy than the surrounding areas. All in all, the world’s healthiest areas have some common factors: a warm climate, an active social scene, healthy food, and a slower pace of life that makes for less daily stress.

And as always have a chlled day from the viking.
