Researhers Discover Million-Year-Old Camel Bone


Scientists in Syria have discovered a jaw bone of a camel that dates back one million years. The jaw bone is tiny and belongs to a possibly previously-unknown species of camel. Last year, bones of a giant camel were found.

That mammoth camel combined with the current find of the smaller, much older camel could provide clues into camel evolution. The find was made last month by a team made up of Syrian and Swiss scientists.

Swiss archaeologist Jean-Marie Le Tensorer said: "It is a very important discovery. The camel is very small in comparison with the normal camel. But we have to find more bones, different remains, before we can be sure it is a new species."

Ready? GO!!!

First Question:

Y ou are participating in a race. You overtake the second person. What position are you in?



~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~



Answer: If you answered that you are first, then you are
absolutel! y wrong! If you overtake the second person, you take his place, so you are second!

You're not very good at this, are you?



Third Question:
Very tricky arithmetic! Note: This must be done in your head only.
Do NOT use paper and pencil or a calculator. Try it.

Take 1000 and add 40 to it.. Now add another 1000 . Now add 30
Add another 1000 . Now add 20 . Now add another 1000
Now add 10 . What is the total?


~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~


Did you get 5000?

The correct answer is actually 4100.



If you don't believe it, check it with a calculator!
Today is definitely not your day, is it?
Maybe you'll get the last question right....
...Maybe.




Fourth Question:

Mary's father has five daughters: 1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini, 4. Nono. What is the ! name of the fifth daughter?


~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~

NO! Of course it isn't.
Her name is Mary. Read the question again!



Okay, now the bonus round:



A mute person goes into a shop and wants to buy a toothbrush. By
imitating the action of brushing his teeth he successfully
expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is
done.


Next, a blind man comes into the shop who wants to buy a pair of
sunglasses; how does HE indicate what he wants?




~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~


He just has to open his mouth and ask...
It's really very simple.... Like you!

10 Ways :Quit Junk food.


Junk food or clean food? Do you know?



I think you do. You realize what’s best for your health. However putting it into practice is often a different story. If you have problems keeping away from junk food, your approach is wrong. Eating junk food is a habit that you can’t quit using willpower.

How do you quit eating junk food? Here are 10 ways.

1. Have a Reason. Why do you want to quit eating junk food?
* Less fat?
* More health?
* Lower cholesterol?
Have a reason to quit. Write it on a piece of paper & look at it every day. This will act as a constant reminder of your goal.

2. Make a Plan. Quitting junk foods means a change of lifestyle:
* What food will you eat?
* What will you cook?
* What will you eat at work?

Make a plan that has everything: diet, grocery list, schedule, …


3. Be Confident.


Don’t believe the hype. Quitting junk food is easy. Your body doesn’t need it. If it could choose, it’d go for clean foods. As long as you’re giving your body what it needs, you’ll be OK. If not: it’s in your head.


4. Take Action.


Don’t sit there waiting. If you want to change your eating habits do something about it.
* Go to the grocery
* Cook your food
* Prepare meals for work

Common sense, but worth repeating. If the fridge is empty or if you don’t take food to work, you’ll end up eating junk food. Be ready, be prepared. Take action.


5. Get into Sports.


Sport is healthy. When you get into sports, you’ll have the tendency to watch your nutrition too. Which sport? Up to you. I recommend Strength Training ;-)


6. Choose your Environment.


Your environment influences your habits. Choose one that helps you achieving your goal.

Remove the junk food from your house, stop buying it, say no to eating at McDonald’s daily. Read your goal. What’s more important for you? Win or lose, your choice.


7. Enjoy Food.


Healthy food is not about eating steamed veggies. Healthy food is tasty, as tasty as junk food once you’ve adapted. The trick is to know how to cook. Cooking is a skill. You can learn it.


8. Eat Junk Food.


You don’t need to ban junk food from your life. As long as you eat healthy 90% of the time you’ll be ok.
The longer you eat healthy, the more you’ll have adverse effects to junk food. Taste adapts. With time you’ll be glad to eat junk food, but you’ll also be glad to go back to clean food.


9. Watch Super Size Me.


You know junk food is unhealthy. But how much? Meet Super Size Me: let’s eat McDonald’s 3 times a day & see what happens.


10. Control Yourself.


Sometimes you’ll be tempted to eat junk food. Control yourself. Think. Why did you quit in the first place. What do you prefer? Eating junk food or achieving your goal? Don’t say you don’t care. You do, I know you do. You know what you should be doing.

Write this next to your goal: “I don’t need junk food“.

5.Santa: I'm a proud father. My son is in medical college. Banta: What's he studying?"
