Insteresting things I came accross today...

1) We shrink 1/2 inches duing our life time due to gravity. This is because the cartilage disks in our vertebrate shrink due to the weight as we grow old.

2) Goosebumps have lost the functionality in humans. We have goosebumps when (1)when we feel cold (2)frightened. The standing of the hair traps more air insulates the heat. Secondly, the standing of the furs makes the animals look bigger. Scare tactics.

3) Male Oral Contraception. Some lab in New York found some protien/chemical which temporarily stops the production of sperms in men.

4) Ravi Shankar and Swami Sachidanand were the only two Indian performers at the original '69 Woodstock. (Three days of Music and Peace)

5) And its 'yin and yang' and not 'ying and yang'
