Weird Science Facts.

 Here are a few science facts. :)

 

Science Fact

 

 

The state of sleep when you dream is called the REM state. REM stands for Rapid Eye Movement, a physical reaction that really occurs when you dream. When you enter the REM state, your body is virtually paralyzed. During the REM state, the body releases chemicals into the blood stream that causes the brain to send a message to the nervous system telling it to shut down all operations. Scientists think that the reason for this is so that the body cannot act out things that are happening in the dream. 

 

 

 

 

Did You Know?

 

A dog's sense of smell is 1,000 times more sensitive than a humans (which explains why they avoid bus drivers). 

 

 

Science Fact

 

The Australian billygoat plum contains 100 times more vitamin C than an orange which explains why Australian billgoats have such nice suntans.

 

 

Spain wins the World Cup! :D.

                                Casillas holding the world cup! After their awesome victory!

This was a physical test of attrition that sometimes turned dirty — a finals-record 14 yellow cards were handed out and the Dutch finished with 10 men. In the end, it was Andres Iniesta breaking free in the penalty area, taking a pass from Cesc Fabregas and putting a right-footed shot from 8 yards just past the outstretched arms of goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg with about seven minutes still to play, including injury time.

"When I struck it, it just had to go in," Iniesta said.

For the Dutch and their legions of orange-clad fans wearing everything from jerseys to jumpsuits to clown gear to pajamas, it was yet another disappointment.

Even with their first World Cup title tantalizingly within reach, they failed in the final for the third time. This one might have been the most bitter because, unlike 1974 and 1978, the Netherlands was unbeaten not only in this tournament, but in qualifying for the first World Cup staged in South Africa.

Soccer City was soaked in Oranje, from the seats painted in that hue throughout the stadium to pretty much everyone seated in them. Unlike when they lost to hosts West Germany and Argentina in previous finals, the Dutch were something of a home team this time.

The Spaniards, though, were the winners.

"We have all done an incredible job," Iniesta said. "I don't think we even realize what we have done."

They had pockets of supporters, too, to be sure, dressed in red and scattered around the stadium. They might have been the minority, but when the final whistle blew, they were tooting their vuvuzelas loudest in tribute to their champions.

The goal in the 116th minute came off a turnover by the Dutch defense that Fabregas controlled just outside the penalty area. Iniesta stayed on the right and sneaked in to grab the pass and put his shot to the far post. Stekelenburg barely brushed it with his fingertips as it soared into the net.

Iniesta tore off his jersey after the goal and raced to the corner where he was mobbed by his teammates. Several Dutch players wiped away tears as they received their medals as runners-up — yet again. They won every qualifying match and all six previous games in South Africa before the bitter ending.

The Netherlands now has more victories in World Cup games without a title than any nation: 19. Spain held that dubious record with 24.

Netherlands coach Bert van Marwijk took off his silver medal as soon as left the podium, with a look of disgust on his face.

The Spaniards saluted their fans with arms raised high, then lifted their coach, Vicente del Bosque, in the air in celebration.

"This is immeasurable for Spain," Del Bosque said.

Goalkeeper Iker Casillas, the captain, accepted the trophy from FIFA president Sepp Blatter, kissed it and raised it for all to see while cameras flashed and confetti flew throughout the still-full stadium.

Soon, the entire team and staff gathered at midfield for a group photo. The players bounced up and down to the World Cup theme song, then took a victory lap as the trophy was passed to each member of the squad.

"It's the most beautiful that there is. It's spectacular," Iniesta said, referring to the gold ball.

Oracle Paul 'Psychic' Octopus puts Spain, not Germany to WC final

Paul the octopus!

A "psychic" octopus in Germany, which appears to have correctly predicted every World Cup game involving the national team so far, has picked Spain over Germany in the semi-final.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJYv5rul11M

Paul, from the Sea Life Aquarium in the western city of Oberhausen, chose a mussel from a jar with the Spanish flag instead of one with a German flag.
The two-year-old cephalopod has become a national celebrity.

According to his owners, he has a record of predicting German results.
They say Paul chose the winner in nearly 70% of Germany's games during the 2008 European Championship.
He correctly predicted all five of the team's previous World Cup games - including a shock defeat by Serbia in the group stages.

His prognosis ahead of Wednesday's World Cup semi-final was broadcast live on German TV.
Correspondents says Paul's plumping for Spain has caused alarm in the country, but some analysts point out that his predictive powers are not perfect.
During Euro 2008 he wrongly picked Germany as the victor against Spain.

School Holidays.

Exams was just over. Well, practically its not called an exam cause the questions were all leaked. 3 weeks of craziness has ended! haha.. But now I have some add maths folio to be done with super tough questions!! arghhhh... and it can be done in group so i think it would be fine.. the questions are like mixture of add maths n physics.. super duper tough! so I have to check it out now.. byeeeeeee!!

Prom And Homeworks!

So, after all the discussions held in school about the venue. Now believe it or not we have two proms. Isn't it WEIRD! One in KPGCC and the other in Summit. So Lame! Anyway whatever...

The theme is Hollywood. =)

And this week has been a very busy one because I have to pass up my moral folio on Friday, study for exam (which I haven't done) and had to do some sejarah assignment. On top of that got sivik folio some more. We are not machines la! Helllooooo! Sigh.

Oh God!! Happy New Year (I know I'm 4 months late!!!)

After ages and ages I'm updating my blog!  PPD exam was just over.. Covering  all subjects except chemistry, physics and biology. And now all the prom discussion is on in my school. Some interesting topic huh?

But there's a slight problem in the venue where the prom is going to be held. Either Kota Permai GCC or Summit Ballroom. I would prefer Summit, but it depends on the majority right now. Most of them still prefer Summit compared to KPGCC.So it depends!

And when the hell is SPM goin to be over?? I heard that is gonna be over on dec 6, some of them said dec16 and one of my friend said dec10!!!!!!! This is all so crazy! When the hell is the actual date! Crap.

Anyway, If anyone knows when is the ACTUAL date is please inform me. =)
