EARTHQUAKES TURN WATER INTO GOLD Earthquakes have the Midas touch, a new study
claims. Water in faults vaporizes during an earthquake,
depositing gold, according to a model published in
the March 17 issue of the journal Nature
Geoscience. The model provides a quantitative
mechanism for the link between gold and quartz
seen in many of the world's gold deposits

If you Photograph the position of the Sun in the
sky every day, at the same time (for example 2pm)
from the same place (for example a hilltop on
Earth). If you do this for one complete year, you
will have 365 positions recorded. If you
superimpose these positions onto one image, you will notice a pattern. An obscure figure 8. This
pattern is referred to as a Solar Analemma!

Why does feeling embarrassed make a person's
face turn red?


When you are nervous or anxious, your heart may
beat faster and you may find you're breathing
quicker than usual. Increased blood flow often
goes along with these reactions,and if more blood
goes into the tiny blood vessels in your face and
neck, they can turn pink or red. Do you blush around your crush?

Bill gates earns 250 US $ every second, that's
about 20million a day and 7.8 billion a year!
If he drops a thousand dollar(over 50,000
Rs),he won't even bother to pick it up bcoz the
4 seconds he picks it,he would've already
earned it back. The US national debt is about 5.62 trillion,if bill
gates were to pay the debt by himself; he will
finish it in less then 10years....
He can donate 15 US$ to everyone on earth
but still be left with 5million US$ for his pocket
money. Michael jordan is the highest paid athlete in US.
if he doesn't drink and eat,and keep his annual
income i.e. 30 million US $ he will have to wait
for 277 years to become as rich as bill gates is
now.
If Bill gates was a country on earth he would be the 37th richest country on earth
If you change all of bill gate's money to 1 US $
notes, you can make a road from earth to
moon,14 times back and forth. but you have
to make that road non stop for 1400 years,and
use a total of 713 boeing 747 planes to transport all the money.
last but not the least:
If microsoft windows users can claim 1 US$
for every time their computers hang bcoz of
microsoft windows, bill gates will be bankrupt
in 3 days...
