    1. A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven’t eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him?

    2. A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be?

    3. There are two plastic jugs filled with water. How could you put all of this water into a barrel, without using the jugs or any dividers, and still tell which water came from which jug?

    4. What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you throw it away?

    5. Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?

    6. This is an unusual paragraph. I’m curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out.

  • Drink Water -> Lose Weight

    // Gradly // blog, science 9 Responses

    water.jpgJust replace some of the high calorie foods you eat with fruits, vegetables and other water dense foods that keep you just as full.

    We know it sounds too good to be true, but new research conducted at Pennsylavania State University suggests it is possible to lose weight by making small changes in your diet.

    The rationale behind eating water dense foods is that whatever you eat can go out of the system very fast. Example an apple which has 98 per cent liquid and very few calories. A sweet of the same size will have 20 times more calories.

    People tend to eat the same amount of food each day, regardless of the calories. Adding vegetables to that pizza, lasagna or casserole will increase the food’s volume and result in fewer overall calories consumed since portion sizes tend to stay the same

    Another study on obesity shows a link between lack of sleep and gaining weight —
    skimping on sleep may make you vulnerable to obesity.

    The finding is based on data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted in the US. The study discovered that people who reported getting less than seven hours of sleep a night were more likely to be obese on initial evaluation.

    Why water is necessary?

    • Our bodies contain over 70 percent water.
    • You can go longer without food than water.
    • Our bodies need a lot of water to function efficiently.
    • Water helps flush out harmful toxins and thus readies the body for fat loss.

    When your body is not getting enough water?

    • It tries to hold on to the water it has. Since over 70 percent of our muscle is made of water, the lack of it makes our body use the existing water for other functions, leaving you bloated.

    How do you get rid of that excess water?

    • By drinking enough water!

    Hot or cold water?

    • Many experts tend to advocate cold water, because the stomach absorbs it more quickly. They believe that cold water might enhance fat burning.
    • Warm water is, however, easier to drink in large quantities and you might drink more of it without even realising it. Do whatever suits you, here. Just drink more!

    How much water?

    • You must drink at least seven to eight glasses (1.9 litres) of water a day.

    “Prepare for Glory”

    300-gradly-one.jpg300 is an adaptation of the graphic novel 300 by Frank Miller, itself partly inspired by another film based on the Battle of Thermopylae, The 300 Spartans.The film is directed by Zack Snyder with Frank Miller attached as an executive producer and consultant, and was shot mostly with bluescreen to duplicate the imagery of the original comic book.
    Spartan King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) and 300 Spartans fight to the last man against Persian King Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) and his army of over one million soldiers, while in Sparta, Queen Gorgo (Lena Headey) attempts to rally support for her husband. The story is framed by a voice-over narrative by the Spartan soldier Dilios (David Wenham). Through this narrative technique, all manner of fantastical creatures are introduced, placing 300 within the genre of historical fantasy.
