Why some foods make us to fart ??

  Our stomach can't digest all the foods we eat but bacteria in our large intestine can  !!!

GAS IS THE RESULT   ........

Foods high in certain carbs and fibres don't get break down completely in small intestine by enzymes.

This food reach large intestine undigested  !!!

We have 38 trilion bacteria in large intestine. When they eat this left over food, they produce 

Hydrogen 

Carbon Dioxide 

Methane 

Hydrogen Sulphide  (  remember, rotten egg smell  !!!  )

These gas builds up and come out as    FART     .....!!!!

Some foods get digested before reaching bacterial hub. They don't produce gas. They are  ----

Rice          Potato            Banana        Egg            Meat  

Why the world's tallest watefall never reaches the ground ??

 World's tallest waterfall is Venezuela 's Angel falls.

Angel falls plunges a total of 979 meters, higher than most skyscrapers and small mountains   !!!

Angel falls holds the world record for both total height and longest uninterrupted plunge.

Why the water never fully reaches the ground  ??

Because the drop is so exreme, the water at Angel falls rarely reaches the ground as a single, continuous stream  !!!

Long before impact, air resistance and shifting winds tear the falling column apart.

Thereby scattering it into billions of fine droplets suspended in mid air.

What descends instead is a vast drifting veil of cool mist   !!!

This airborne spray behaves like a natural rainfall system. It settles softly over the surrounding jungle, spreading moisture far beyond the base of falls   .

Sunlight often catches the mist at right angle, painting fleeting rainbows  !!!

I am writing , why God Ganesh has chosen mouse as his vehicle ......

Ganesh's mouse is said to have been a heavenly soul named Krouncha.

He was cursed to transform into a rodent.

Why do we fear heights ??

Our brains are hardwired with an evolutionary survival mechanism designed to prevent dangerous falls.

"Healthy fear" keeps most people cautious, bur extreme and irrational version is called  " acrophobia " or fear of heights.

The feeling of dizziness or instability at heights often comes from sensory mismatch.

On the ground, our eyes use nearby objects to help maintain balance. But at a height, visual reference points are too far away.

This makes disorientation in brain.

What happens at heights is, our inner ear senses we are standing still but our eyes sees a vast, distant space.

This leads to HEIGHT VERTIGO, which the brain interprets as IMMINENT DANGER  !!!!

A bad fall or near miss incidents in the past programs the brain to associate heights with fear.
