World's Deepest Fresh Water Lake - BAIKAL.

Lake Baikal, the world's oldest and deepest freshwater lake, curves for nearly 400 miles through south-eastern Siberia, north of the Mongolian border. It lies in a cleft where Asia is literally splitting apart, the beginnings of a future ocean.

More than 5,000 feet deep (1637m) at its most profound, with another four-mile-thick layer of sediment further down, the lake's cold, oxygen-rich waters teem with bizarre life-forms

.One of those is the seals' favourite food, the golomyanka, a pink, partly transparent fish which gives birth to live young. Geologists estimate that Lake Baikal formed somewhere 20-25 million years ago, during the Mesozoic.

Surrounded by mile-high snowcapped mountains, Lake Baikal still offers vistas of unmatched beauty. The mountains are still a haven for wild animals, and the small villages are still outposts of tranquillity and self-reliance in the remote Siberian taiga.

Aurora

An aurora is a natural light display in the sky (from the Latin word aurora, "sunrise" or the Roman goddess of dawn) related to the Viking God Thor and the history of the earliest Vikings, especially in the high latitude (Arctic and Antarctic) regions, caused by the collision of solar wind and magnetospheric charged particles with the high altitude atmospherce (thermosphere). Most auroras occur in a band known as the auroral zone,which is typically 3° to 6° wide in latitude and observed at 10° to 20° from the geomagnetic poles at all local times (or longitudes), but often most vividly around the spring and autumn equinoxes. The charged particles and solar wind  are directed into the atmosphere by the Earth's magnetosphere. A geomagnetic strom  expands the auroral zone to lower latitudes.

The world's smallest guiter is the size of a red blood cell.

The world's smallest guiter--carved out of crystalline silicon and no larger than a single cell--has been made at cornell university to demonstrate a new tecnolygy that could have a variety of uses in fiber optics,displays,sensors and electronics.
The "nanoguiter"--made for fun to illustrate the tecnology--is that one of several structure that cornell researchrs believe are the world's smallest silicon mechanical device.

when awake,Brain generates enough electricity to power a lightbulb

Inside your head is a jelly-like organ that controls everything you do. Without it, you wouldn't be able to think, run, dance or even breathe. But what makes your brain so special?

Your brain is like a powerful computer. It stores memories and controls how you move, breathe, think and react. Compared to other mammals about the same size as you, you have a big brain.

Your brain has lots of folds and wrinkles. The wrinkles increase the area of your brain, making lots of space for you to make connections between brain cells. More connections equal more brain power!

Here are our top five brain facts:

1. When you're awake, your brain generates enough electricity to power a lightbulb.
2. You have the same number of brain cells at birth as you do in adulthood. As you learn and store memories, these brain cells grow and you make new connections between them.
3. Your brain makes up 2% of your body's weight, but uses 20% of your body's energy.
4. The left side of your brain controls the right side of your body. The right side of your brain controls the left side of your body.
5. James Watson, a famous scientist, once said the brain is "the most complex thing we have yet discovered in our universe."
   

100 acres of pizza is eaten in U.S.A everyday

For those of you yet to take lunch, we think it's the perfect time for a hunger-inducing stat of the day.The Daily tells us, in a profile of healthy pizza purveyor Naked Pizza, that the United States pizza industry "serves about 100 acres of pizza a day." This figure comes from the National Association of Pizza Operators, an organization that aims "to create and foster a community of independent and small chain pizzeria operators and their industry suppliers where doing business with one another is mutually beneficial." According to a survey by the American Customer Satisfaction Index, when it comes to eating fast food, Americans are much more satisfied by pizza than burgers, turning to Pizza Hut as their preferred fast pizza vendor of choice.

Finland has topped pretty much ever educational league table ever.

Education in finland is a system with no tution fees and with fully subsidised meals served to full-time students. The present Finnish education system consists of daycare programs (for babies and toddlers) and a one-year "pre-school" (or kiindergarten for six-year-olds); a nine-year compulsory basic comprehensive school (starting at age seven and ending at the age of fifteen); post-compulsory secondary general academic and vocational education; higher education (University and University of Applied Sciences); and adult (lifelong, continuing) education. The Nordic strategy for achieving equality and excellence in education has been based on constructing a publicly funded comprehensive school system without selecting, tracking, or streaming students during their common basic education. Part of the strategy has been to spread the school network so that pupils have a school near their homes whenever possible or, if this is not feasible, e.g. in rural areas, to provide free transportation to more widely dispersed schools. Inclusive special education within the classroom and instructional efforts to minimize low achievement are also typical of Nordic educational systems.

After their nine-year basic education in a comprehensive school, students at the age of 16 may choose to continue their secondary education in either an academic track (lukio) or a vocational track (ammattikoulu), both of which usually take three years. Tertiary education is divided into university and polytechnic ( ammattikorkeakoula , also known as university of applied sciences) systems. Universities award licentiate- and doctoral-level degrees. Formerly, only university graduates could obtain higher (postgraduate) degrees, however, since the implementation of the Bologna process, all bachelor degree holders can now qualify for further academic studies. There are 17 universities and 27 universities of applied sciences in the country.

Bones are 4 times stronger than concrete

Human thigh bones are stronger than concrete. Because they have to support almost your whole body.

Infact, for size all bones are much stronger thatn concrete. About 8 times. They’re flexible, lightweight and super hard. Yet will break if alot of force is given. A thigh bone can withstand about a tonne of stress before snapping. This depening on a person’s health. The lower joint of a femur, pretty much impossible to break with a hammer, yet hollow bones will break with a brick, slab of concrete or a hammer.

4 times higerthan NIAGARA FALLS

Kaieteur Falls is a waterfall on the potaro in kaieteur national park, central Essequibo Territory, Guyana. It is 226 metres (741 ft) high
Kaieteur Falls is about four times higher than the niagara falls, on the border between canada and the United States and about twice the height of the Victoria falls on the border of Zambia and zimbabae in Africa. It is a single drop waterfall and is the 123rd tallest (single and multi-drop waterfall) in the world, according to the  world waterfalls database
On 24 April 1870, Charles barington brown, one of two British geologists appointed government surveyors to the colony of British guinan (now known as guyana), became the first European to see Kaieteur Falls. The other surveyor was james sawkins. Brown and James Sawkins arrived inGeorgetown in 1867 and did some of their mapping and preparation of geological reports together, some in separate expeditions, but Sawkins had taken a break from his work when Brown came upon Kaieteur.

The human eye can distinguish about 10 million colors.
