Ancient Aircarft


 





The existence of the text was revealed in 1952 by G. R. Josyer who asserted that it was written by Pandit Subbaraya Shastry (1866–1940), who dictated it during the years 1918–1923. This vimana contains twenty-eight parts. They are Peetha or Floorboard; hollow mast; three wheeled keelakaas; four heaters; air suction-pipe; water jacket; oil tank; air heater; heater; steam boiler; viduyut yantra or electric generator; air propelling yantra; vaatapa yantra or air suction pipe; dikpradarshana dwaja; shakuna yantra; two-wings; tail portion; owshnyaka yantra or engine; kiranaakarshana mani. Constructional aspects of the vimana are given too briefly and also without clarity. However, from the English translation (literal and frequently sprinkled with modern terminology) we have made an effort to analyze. Floorboard is a sheet-metal structure made of Raja-loha options have been offered to make the shape circular, rectangular or cradle shaped. Weight of the Peeta or Base is one hundredth of the total weight of the plane. Width of the peeta is half the height of the mast. Hollow mast is to be erected by suitable joinery at the center of the peeta.

Blanket Octopus




This fascinating cephalopod was given the common name of blanket octopus because of its flowing webbing connected between its dorsal and dorsolateral arms, resembling a large blanket, as displayed by this adult female. Females may reach 2 metres (6.6 ft) in length, whereas the tiny males are at most a few centimeters long. The males have a specially modified third right arm which stores sperm, known as a hectocotylus. During mating, this arm detaches itself and crawls into the mantle of the female to fertilize her eggs. The male dies shortly after mating. The females carry over 100,000 tiny eggs attached to a sausage-shaped calcareous secretion held at the base of the dorsal arms and carried by the female until hatching. Blanket octopuses are immune to the poisonous Portuguese man o' war, whose tentacles the male and immature females rip off and use for defensive purposes. Like many other octopuses, the blanket octopuses uses ink to intimidate potential predators.Also, when threatened, the female unfurls her large net-like membranes that spread out and billow in the water, greatly increasing her apparent size.

In China, this variety is referred to as the ‘Lion Head’ Tibetan Mastiff, with the shorter haired variety being known as the ‘Tiger Head’ Tibetan Mastiff.The Tibetan Mastiff normally has a shoulder height of 61-66 cm (24-26 in) and weighs 45-72 kg (100-160 lbs), though a few stand up to 80 cm (31 in) and weigh as much as 110 kg (242 lbs).

A Patato has More Chromosomes than us.



Potato has More Chromosomes than Humans.
A chromosome is an organized structure of DNA (This is what makes you unique), protein, and RNA found in cells.
Even though We are one of the most complex organisms in the world, and that this would make you think we have a lot of chromosomes, we have less than something as simple as a potato!
We have only 46 Chromosomes and Potato has 48 Chromosomes.

Cthulhu Larva






The Deep Sea Holothurian, also  known as an abyssal sea cucumber, sounds like a boss from Final Fantasy and looks like something Khan would attach to the brain of a Starfleet officer.The Cthulhu Larvae are most generally  found on Demerara Abyssal Plain, but can be in abundance most anywhere except the North Atlantic Ocean. aka the SEA PIG Cthulhu Larvae are not cosidered an endangered species.The largest concern for the species is deep-sea trawling. Since the cthulhu larvae travel in groups of 300-600.Cthulhu Larvae are almost always seen facing in the same direction, towards the current.
It is only a few inches long, has no face and eats mud, which is exactly how we described our genitalia on Match.com.  The abyssal sea cucumber is one of the most successful ocean dwelling species, presumably because any predator would take one look at this thing and run home to sleep with the lights on in their parents’ room.

Fleas can jump up to 200 times their height. This is equivalent to a man jumping the Empire State Building in New York.




1. Fleas have four life stages: egg, larva, pupa, biting adult.

2. Fleas feed on the blood of their host -- humans, birds, reptiles, and wild and domestic animals.

3. The female flea can lay 2,000 eggs in her lifetime.

4. A flea can live more than 100 days without a blood meal.

5. The female flea consumes 15 times her own body weight in blood daily.

6. A flea can jump up to 8 inches high, or approximately 150 times its own height. That's like if you could leap over tall buildings in a single bound.

7. Pets with fleas may develop anemia, tapeworms or intense bouts of itching (pruritus).

8. Some pets may develop an allergy to flea saliva, which causes severe irritation and itchiness.

9. The best way to check for fleas is with a flea comb.

10. Even though there are more than 2,000 known species and subspecies of fleas, one flea species -- the cat flea -- accounts for most of the dog and cat flea cases found in the U.S.
