The World's Hardest Tongue Twister
According to the Guiness Book of World Records, this is officially the 'World's Hardest Tongue Twister'. It just goes to show that sometimes the ones looking the most simple are often indeed the best.
The sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick.
Try saying that one 3 times with speed!
Some of course you can just see coming, like this one:
Our Joe wants to know if your Joe will lend
our Joe you Joe's banjo. If your Joe won't
lend our Joe your Joe's banjo our Joe won't
lend your Joe our Joe's banjo when our Joe
has a banjo!
Of course some of the lengthier ones look reasonably simple and aren't so bad to start with, but do catch you in the end like the old:
One-One was a racehorse.
Two-Two was one, too.
When One-One won one race,
Two-Two won one, too.
And who remembers the old guaranteed every time....
Red leather! Yellow leather!
And of course we couldn't leave this one out! (best not said aloud with little kiddies in the room!)
I'm not the pheasant plucker, I'm the pheasant plucker's son,
And I'm only plucking pheasants till the pheasant pluckers come!
So what has been your favourite tongue twister of all time?

NEED A TIPS FOR FUEL SAVING???
1) Regularly check the air filter The key to fuel economy is to use a clean air filter in your vehicle. This is because the air filter which is dirty can restrict the flow of air into the engine which reduces the engine performance and economy. Its not difficult to change and check air filters. Just hold the air filter in front of the sunlight and if you see light is not coming through than you need a new air filter. Its better you use K&N or similar type of air filters which are cleaned rather than changed. They are much better than throwing away paper filters as they are less restrictive and also better for the environment. 2) Regularly keep on checking the tire pressure People often ignore under inflated-tires which is the real cause of Crummy MPG (measure of fuel efficiency). You must buy a most reliable tire gauge and check the tires when they are cold and try and keep them inflated properly. You need to check the tires when they are cold because the tires get warmed up while driving and thus increasing the pressure. 3) Lower your vehicle speed. This is already proven that increase in speed of a vehicle decreases fuel economy frequently. Just try and lower your speed and you will certainly save a lot of fuel and your journey will not be longer. 4) Make use of trucks You have often noticed that in traffic jams vehicles like cars show lot of variation in speed. Sometimes its speed up and slow down immediately. This consumes a lot of fuel and not good for fuel economy. On the other hand a truck tend to move along at the same leisurely pace. This helps in saving fuel. Also a truck uses diesel engine and diesel engines use almost no fuel while idling. 5) Drive smoothly and accelerate with care When you drive your vehicle smoothly without break up speeds it saves fuel energy and also lower vehicle emissions. Try and accelerate your vehicle slowly not like young kid who plays with the vehicle by jackrabbit starts. Make sure you change gears to higher level at times when your vehicle is at low speed. If you think your car is equipped with overdrive than you should make use of it at the appropriate speeds. Try and avoid sudden starts and stops which consumes lot of fuel. So take care in driving and save fuel and thus save energy protecting environment. 6) Turn back to nature If you are using air conditioner in your vehicle than shut it down and open the windows and let the fresh air come in. There may be tad warmer but it will certainly save fuel when the speed is quite low. But a higher speed air conditioner may be more efficient. Depending on that you can react accordingly and save your fuel and save bucks. 7) Avoid having to stop. If approaching a red light, see if you can slow down enough to avoid having to actually stop (because you reach the light after it is green). Speeding up from 5 or 10 miles per hour will be easier on the gas than starting from full stop. 8) Clean out your car The more weight your car has to haul, the more gas it needs to do the work. If you're the type who takes a leisurely attitude towards car cleanliness -- and I definitely fall into that group -- periodically go through your car and see what can be tossed out or brought into the house. It doesn't take much to acquire an extra 40 or 50 lbs. of stuff. 9) Out with the new, in with the old Many people keep their old cars around even after they buy a new one. A spare car, especially if it's an econobox, can be good insurance against temporary spikes in gas prices due to world events. The costs of keeping the car may or may not be less then the fuel saved, but it does allow for more predictability in your budget. My old beater doesn't look like much, but it goes 10 miles further on a gallon of gas than our regular car. For that, I can afford to look bad! 10) Don't drive Not a popular thing to say on a car site, I know, but the fact is that if you can avoid driving, you'll save gas. Take the train, carpool, and consolidate your shopping trips. Walking or biking is good for your wallet and your health. And before you get in your car, always ask yourself: "Is this trip really necessary?" 11) Use Fuel savers There are many fuel savers coming in the market. You can use E-Biogreen which saves fuel and energy when applied within your vehicle fuel tank. Please call me 019-5960282 for booking and purchasing E-Biogreen The Ultimate Fuel Saver.

Insect As a Foe? Try this...
- Cover up. Wear long sleeves and tuck pants into socks or boots.
- Repel. When necessary, apply an insect repellent. The most effective products contain a chemical known as DEET. This should keep the swarming bugs and mosquitoes away, but will not protect against an angry bee. (Do not use DEET repellents on infants younger than 1 year old. For older children, use it sparingly and make sure the solution is very dilute — no more than 5 to 10 percent. Adults should avoid using strong solutions of DEET as well. If you use a more “natural” product, be prepared to apply it more frequently. Products such as citronella candles may be useful for campouts and picnics. Just be careful about fires.
- Physical avoidance. Stay away from known insect hangouts. Stay inside when insects come out in droves, such as at dawn and dusk.
- Do not invite them to dine. Keep outdoor food covered, especially strong-smelling and the sugary foods and drinks that wasps and bees adore. Clean up spills immediately. Seal up garbage cans tightly.
- A rose by any other name. Do you like perfumes and sweet-smelling shampoos and cosmetics? The bugs love them, too. Use unscented cosmetics and skip the fragrances.
- Be drab. Avoid wearing bright colors, floral prints and flashy jewelry. The insects will mistake you for a flower. People often wonder why insects seem more attracted to some people than others. It Is because of the scents and colors.
- Do not make them mad. It is true what they say about staying calm and quiet around bees. Certain flying, stinging insects will harass or attack you if you get them agitated. When angered, some insects emit airborne chemicals — pheromones — that bring others of their species flying in for reinforcement.

Most Popular Myths in Science
Weird Facts: Top 10 Most Popular Myths in Science
There is no gravity in space
Blame the term "zero-gravity" for this common misconception. Gravity is everywhere, even in space. Astronauts look weightless because they are in continuous freefall towards the Earth, staying aloft because of their horizontal motion. The effect of gravity diminishes with distance, but it never truly goes away. Oh, and while we're at it, it's also untrue that space is a vacuum. There are all kinds of atoms out there, albeit sometimes far apart (and this thin gas adds to the collective gravity budget, too!)
Humans use only 10 percent of their brains
This media darling has been around for at least a century. Fortunately, it's just not true. MRI imaging clearly demonstrates--with fancy colors no less--that humans put most of their cerebral cortex to good use, even while dozing.
Yawning is "contagious"
Empirically, this is tough to deny; perhaps you'll yawn while reading this. The real question is whether there's actually something physiological at work here, and the answer is likely yes: even chimpanzees mimic each other's yawns.
A penny dropped from the top of a tall building could kill a pedestrian
A penny isn't the most aerodynamic of weapons. A combination of its shape and wind friction means that, tossed even from the 1,250-foot Empire State Building, it would travel fast enough merely to sting an unlucky pedestrian.
Adults don't grow new brain cells
Much of a human's crucial brain development happens during childhood, but it isn't all downhill from there. Studies have shown that neurons continue to grow and change well into the adult years.
Chicken soup can cure the common cold
Cure is a strong word, but science suggests Moms around the world are still right in forcing spoonfuls of chicken soup down their kids' throats. Studies have found that the broth actually contains anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce congestion.
Eating a poppy seed bagel mimics opium use
Purveyors of this urban legend call on a popular Seinfeld episode for support. It turns out there's truth behind the comedy: tests suggest ingesting just two poppy seed bagels may produce a positive result for opiates on a drug screen.
Lightning never strikes the same place twice
In fact lightning favors certain spots, particularly high locations. The Empire State Building is struck about 25 times every year. Ben Franklin grasped the concept long ago and mounted a metal rod atop the roof of his home, then ran a wire to the ground, thereby inventing the lightning rod.
Chickens can live without a head
True, and not just for a few minutes. A chicken can stagger around without its noggin because the brain stem, often left partially intact after a beheading, controls most of its reflexes. One robust fellow lived a full eighteen months. Likely he was a real birdbrain, however.
Water drains backwards in the Southern Hemisphere due to the Earth's rotation
Not only is the Earth's rotation too weak to affect the direction of water flowing in a drain, tests you can easily perform in a few washrooms will show that water whirlpools both ways depending on the sink's structure, not the hemisphere.

Simptoms Of Breast Cancer and The Contest
What Are the Symptoms of Breast Cancer?
In its early stages, breast cancer usually has no symptoms. As a tumor develops, you may note the following signs:
- A lump in the breast or underarm that persists after your menstrual cycle; often the first apparent symptom of breast cancer, breast lumps are painless, although some may cause a prickly sensation. Lumps are usually visible on a mammogram long before they can be seen or felt.
- Swelling in the armpit.
- Although lumps are usually painless, pain or tenderness in the breast can be a sign of breast cancer.
- A noticeable flattening or indentation on the breast, which may indicate a tumor that cannot be seen or felt.
- Any change in the size, contour, texture, or temperature of the breast; a reddish, pitted surface like the skin of an orange could be a sign of advanced breast cancer.
- A change in the nipple, such as an indrawn or dimpled look, itching or burning sensation, or ulceration; scaling of the nipple is symptomatic of Paget's disease, a localized cancer.
- Unusual discharge from the nipple that may be clear, bloody, or another color. It's usually caused by benign conditions but could be due to cancer in some cases.
- A marble-like area under the skin.
- An area that is distinctly different from any other area on either breast.

2) Keep your tires properly inflated and aligned. Car manufacturers must place a label in the car stating the correct tire pressure.
3) Change your oil as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. Clean oil reduces wear caused by friction between moving parts and removes harmful substances from the engine.
4) Check and replace air filters regularly. Your car's air filter keeps impurities in the air from damaging internal engine components. Not only will replacing a dirty air filter improve your fuel economy, it also will protect your engine. Clogged filters can cause up to a 10 percent increase in fuel consumption

Fact about "armpit perfume"
1. Be thankful for your foul body odor. According to anthropologist Louis Leakey, it might be responsible for early man's survival. Leakey's theory claims that most predators avoided feasting on humans because our body odor was "too repugnant."
2. Not only did the ancient Egyptians give us pyramids and flush toilets, they also pioneered the field of deodorants. Egyptians were the first to popularize the idea of applying scents to armpits, usually using cinnamon and other spices that wouldn't turn rancid in the heat.
3. The Roman poet Ovid preferred a more proactive solution. In Book III of the Art of Love, he cautions women against carrying goats under their arms.
4. Antiperspirants are classified as drugs by the FDA. Technically, they affect and/or alter your body's natural functions.
5. The first modern brand of antiperspirant, EverDry, hit drugstores in 1903. The original formula was so acidic that it regularly ate through clothing.
6. Of course, modern antiperspirants can also ruin your clothing. Aluminum chloride, the ingredient that blocks glandular openings and prevents sweating, is notorious for turning T-shirts yellow. So, blame your antiperspirant for your pit stains, not your body.
7. Offensive body odor is actually illegal in libraries in San Luis Obispo County, California.
8. One thing modern antiperspirants don't do is cause degenerative diseases. Medical science has found no conclusive evidence that absorbing aluminum chloride through the skin can lead to memory loss or slurred speech.
9. Aoki, a Japanese company known for its menswear, has developed a deodorant suit that supposedly absorbs sweat and neutralizes odors all over the body.
10. But that's nothing! The greatest Japanese innovation in the fight against B.O. is Fuwarinka scented gum. The so-called "functional candy" contains aromatic compounds that cause your skin to release "Fresh Citrus" or "Fruity Rose" aromas for up to 6 hours after chewing.
11. When Kurt Cobain wrote the lyrics for Nirvana's breakout song "Smells Like Teen Spirit," he didn't know Teen Spirit was a popular deodorant brand. The Mennen Company, which produced the deodorant, wouldn't say whether the song caused sales to spike, but six months after the single debuted, Colgate bought the company for $670 million.
12. In May 2008, actor Matthew McConaughey revealed that he never uses deodorant or antiperspirant. The next day, he received a year's supply of deodorant body spray from the Axe Company, along with a note on why he might want to start.
