WHY DO PEOPLE CRY?

Crying, or lachrymation, is the process of producing tears,

which in human eyes are produced by glands under the

eyelids People cry for a number of reasons: basal tears are

continually produced to lubricate and clean the eyes, while

reflex tears wash away irritants and foreign particles However,

a third type of tears, emotional tears, are produced

when a person cries

When a person is hurt, physically or emotionally, the lachrymal

glands sometimes constrict and produce emotional

tears When a person is in an emotionally overwrought state,

the body overreacts and produces a flood of hormones and

other chemicals found to be

present in emotional tears

and yet absent in basal and

reflex tears Current thinking

has it that crying is beneficial

to the body’s physical

and emotional health, as it

helps the body to dispose of

these additional stress hormones and chemical toxins and is

why people often feel better and calmer after a good cry Indeed,

this view is now supported by scientific research Even

the philosopher Aristotle believed that crying cleansed the

mind of suppressed emotions

Humans are the only animals to cry (although some suggest

that gorillas and elephants might, too), largely—it is

believed—due to their heightened sense of self-awareness

WHY ARE PEOPLE’S EYES DIFFERENT COLORS?

    The colored part of the human eye, surrounding the black

    pupil, is called the iris, a word deriving from the personification

    of the rainbow in Greek mythology The color of the iris

    is usually brown, blue, green or hazel

    The color of the iris is provided by a pigment called melanin,

    which is also present in the body’s hair and skin, although

    this is of a slightly different type The melanin in the

    iris is yellow-brown to dark brown in color, and the amount

    of melanin in a person’s irises will determine their eye color—

    for instance, a person with a high level of melanin will

    have brown eyes, while someone with less melanin in their

    irises will have blue eyes People whose skin and hair are

    dark tend to have more melanin and darker eyes than people

    whose skin and hair are fair

    It was originally thought that eye color was determined

   by one specific gene, but it is now believed that a number

   of genes are involved The genes that cause brown eyes are

   dominant, so, if one parent has brown eyes and the other

   parent has blue eyes, the child is more likely (though not

   certain) to have brown eyes It is, however, possible for a

   brown-eyed parent to produce a child with blue eyes if the

   parent’s eye color is the result of carrying recessive blue-eyed

   genes as well as the dominant brown-eyed genes In addition,

   some blue-eyed babies’ eyes darken as their levels of

   melanin increase with age.

   It is possible, although rare, for a person to have different

   levels of melanin in each eye, a condition called heterochromia

   iridium, which results in each eye being a different

   color This condition can be inherited or can result from an

   alteration of one of the relevant genes Alexander the Great

   had this condition A similar condition, heterochromia

   iridis, manifests itself as a variety of colors within one eye.

HOW DID THE WORD “SHIT” ORIGINATE?

  It is claimed by some that the word “shit” originates in the

  sixteenth century, when manure was transported by ship

  The dry manure weighed little and was stowed below deck

  When mixed with water, however, it gained in weight and

  began to ferment, producing methane gas, which, when

  exposed to a naked flame (that of a lantern, for instance),

  would ignite, causing explosions and fires Because of these

  accidents, crates of manure were labeled “Ship High in

  Transit” to indicate that the crates were to be stowed above

  the deck, so that any water that the ship took on would

  not come into contact with

  them It was assumed by

  many that the word shit was

 an acronym derived from

 this labeling convention

 However, this theory has

 since been discovered to be a

 complete falsehood that can be traced to an Internet posting

 in 1999 and that has been perpetuated ever since The word

 shit is from the Middle English word “shitten,” which in turn

 derived from the Old English word “scitan,” from

 which meant “to be covered with excrement” and is in turn

 thought to originate from the Indo-European root

 word can also be traced back to Germanic languages at the

 time of the Roman Empire The word “shite,” meanwhile, is

 a variant form of the word that is found in some dialects in

 Ireland and Scotland, as well as in colloquial English.besciten,skei The

DO WE REALLY USE ONLY 10 PERCENT OF OUR BRAINS?

Psychologists in the early twentieth century commented
that humans use only 10 percent of their brains, and Albert
Einstein also indicated that humans use only a small portion
of the brain It’s a theory that has been propounded in television
documentaries, magazines, advertisements and books
over the past century Psychics have also latched on to it as
a possible explanation for paranormal behavior, attributing
unusual incidents to the workings of the unused portion of
the brain They profess that 90 percent of the brain consists
of untapped potential that is capable of remarkable feats
Nearly all scientists now agree that the theory that we
use only 10 percent of our total brain function is completely
unfounded In fact, they question how this figure
was arrived at in the first place and what areas of the brain
are supposed to be redundant The theory supposes that if
90 percent of the brain were removed, a person would still
be able to function normally, whereas in reality it is known
that damage to even a small area of the brain can result in
physical devastation
In addition, most significant disorders of the brain
involve only a small and very specific area of the brain If
the 10 percent argument was true, it’s unlikely that so many
problems would persistently occur in that area And if we
use only 10 percent of our nerves and neurons in the brain,
how would this be measured? Indeed, imaging of the brain
in scans shows that all parts of the brain are used for different
activities and that many areas of the brain are used for
some complex activities or thought processes Throughout
the course of one day, most areas of the brain are active at
some time, even during sleep The 10 percent theory suggests
that a discrete area of the brain is not used, whereas
scans reveal activity throughout the entire brain and not in
any isolated segment The final nail in the 10 percent theory
is the fact that neurosurgeons carefully map the brain before
removing tumors so that they don’t compromise other
essential areas
From an evolutionary perspective, it’s highly unlikely
that our comparatively larger brains would have evolved
from our ancestors if the extra areas were surplus to requirements
In fact, there is absolutely no evidence to support the
10 percent theory.
