Why do we sneeze when we put something like a string, in our nose?

As you no we breathe air in through or nostrils. In the nose we have hair and mucus to trap any particle which may be present in the air. Sneezing is a reflex action is to dislodge any substance from the nose. When you irritate your nose with a piece of string, a strong exhalation of the air in the form of a sneeze occurs to throwout whatever it is irritating the membrane of the nose.

FUNNY, AIN'T?

This I believe

A bird and even a cat can see far more clearly than a man. The eyesight of an eagle is eight times as keen as that of a man's.

A dog's nose is a "million times" better than a detecting odours than the nose of a man. An Alsatian Dog is believed to have over 200 million cells for smelling, whereas a man has only about 5 million. Again, a dog has far better hearing power than man.

The skin of a fish is very sensitive to the slightest disturbance in the water. The skin of a man is no where as sensitive as this. On the basis of knowledge, gained from such imperfect sense organs, men often say"This is believe; this I don't."

What a growth!

Though the polar bear's cub weighs only about 1/3 KG at the time of birth, it grows to weigh as much as 700 kg. If a human baby, which weighs about 3.5 KG at birth, were to grow in like proportion and adult would weigh 7500 KG.

If all the descendants of just one pair of mice were to survive and multiply, there would be 2 million of them in 2 years!

But even this fantastic rate of reproduction will seem very small in comparison with the tiny bacteria.

One bacterium may grow into billions in just 24 hours!

Story of 'The Apprentice'

Raghu was looking out for a job. So he went to Haroon, a Blacksmith."Have you ever worked in a Smithy before?" Haroon asked. I better say yes or I won't get a job. Raghu thought. So he said "Er... Yes". Haroon asked another question. "Good! Can you make a hammer?" "Hammer? C...certainly" he replied stammering. "Then make one hammer while I go out to get scrap iron!" Haroon said as he looked around searching for something. Now, what am I going to do? Raghu thought feeling as though he were going to throw up any second. So he decided to take a stroll so he could rest his hair. The he came across something he was waiting to see. "Ah! That hardware store can save the situation!" he said as he came across, indeed a hardware store. He went in and asked for a good quality hammer. "That would be 50 rupees!" the cashier replied handing him a hard cored hammer. Hee-Hee! The job is as good as mine. He thought. And so... "You turned out to be an expert! You are hired." Haroon smiled. Raghu smiled and said Thank You! "Now make fifty more pieces, exactly like this one!" Haroon smiled as his dimples glimmered.

When you are frightened!

Your hair is standing on end when you are frightened is the remains of a reaction to frighten away the enemy.

When you are frightened , your pulse beats fast, more adrenalin is secreted ------------------ TO HELP YOU RUN AWAY OR FIGHT THE ENEMY! IF YOU DO NEITHER, THAT EXTRA ADRENALIN WILL DO YOU NO GOOD!

When your pulse beats fast (because of worry, tension or fright) feel it with your fingers, "WILL" that it should beat slower and slower, and LOW! The pulse rate does return to normal (in most cases)!

Flower Shower

Take a handkerchief and wrap it around a round egg. Then take a hammer and break the egg. After this, fling the handkerchief into the air. Hey Presto! Instead of the sticky, yellow yolk, which people will expect to ooze out of the hanky, they will find colourful flowers falling out.

Magic Secret:

Take a raw egg and pierce both its ends with pins. Blow from one end until all the yolk comes out from the other. After the shell is dry push small flowers of various colours into the empty egg-shell through the holes. After this, cover the holes with white paper. Your magic egg looks like any other egg. Now you can perform your trick.
