- THE AMAZING 3D PAINTING OF RIUSUKE FUKAHORI
The image is not real fish, but a carefully painted series of layers encased in clear resin! The work of Japanese painter Riusuke Fukahori, the pieces are incredibly hard to distinguish from actual living fish. Fukahori creates the paintings layer by layer, painting each colorful 2D image and then coating it with a layer of clear resin, repeating the process until he creates a 3D image of a fish. It is a time consuming and seriously impressive feat.

It flattens its body against the leaves to reduce its shadow, and opens its jaws wide to show an intimidating, bright red mouth. Like many other lizards, it can also shed its own tail to distract a predator. Via Dr. Carin Bondar - Biologist With a Twist

Water actually does protect you from most bullets!
In most movies the superhero escapes certain death by simply jumping into water, but would that actually save him from someone shooting at him? The answer is yes and no.
It depends on the bullet, and how fast it goes. Paradoxically, the slower the bullet, the deeper it can go. The reason for this is because of the force at which it hits the water. If it hits hard enough, the bullet will shatter and become harmless, but if it is going slow enough it will continue through the water at speeds fast enough to penetrate human flesh.
Supersonic bullets, up to .50-caliber, disintegrate in less than three feet of water, while pistol rounds need up to eight feet to become non lethal. Shotguns slugs require even deeper water.
While these are the technical measurements, in most actual situations the bullet would enter the water at and angle, reducing the amount of water necessary to make it non-lethal.
Check out the full report that Mythbusters did on this here.

- Cicada’s wings have the coolest defence mechanism—their wings are covered by pillar-like protrusions that shred bacteria to pieces. When a bacterium reaches the surface of the wing, it sticks to the surface of the pillars and its cellular membrane stretches until torn apart. The finding can be used to develop new antibacterial surfaces.

Titanoboa Snake
Largest known snake Titanoboa (Titanoboa cerrejonensis) is the largest snake ever discovered at a length of about 49 feet long, weighing 2,500 pounds and measuring 1 meter in diameter. It lived approximately 60–58 million years ago, during the Paleocene epoch, a 10-million-year period immediately following the dinosaur extinction event. In 2009, the fossils of 28 individual T. cerrejonensis were found in the Cerrejón Formation of the coal mines of Cerrejón in La Guajira, Colombia. Prior to this discovery, few fossils of Paleocene-epoch vertebrates had been found in ancient tropical environments of South America. The snake was discovered on an expedition by a team of international scientists led by Jonathan Bloch, a University of Florida vertebrate paleontologist, and Carlos Jaramillo, a paleobotanist from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama.

Ejacuation
One typical ejaculation contains 150 mg of protein, 11 mg of carbohydrates, 6 mg fat, 3 mg cholesterol, 7% USRDA potassium and 3% US RDA copper and zinc. The protein content is roughly equivalent to that found in one egg white. Also, women physically exposed to semen are less likely to suffer from depression. The ingesting of it is called 'spermophagia'. Studies suggest that seminal plasma both prevents and fights cancer, particularly breast cancer.

chewing Gum
Originally, chewing gum was made from tree sap but today's commercial brands are loaded with harmful ingredients and chemicals.
The modern day chewing gums are made of four major ingredients including synthetic rubber, plastic, sugar, and coloring (dye). Modern day gums are produced from synthetic polymers such as styrene-butadiene rubbers and polyvinyl acetate. The final product is composed of 60% sugar, 20% corn syrup, and only 20% actual gum material.
If you're chewing gum you are chewing rubber and plastic. Chewing gum is known as a harmless cultural tradition but it contains many properties that may be hazardous to our health.
Today's chewing gums and bubble gums are predominantly sugar by volume. Seventy to eighty percent of most gums on the market today are sheer vehicles for sugar, the number one drug on the planet. Just as cigarettes are a conveyor for the addictive drug "nicotine", so is gum for sugar

Japan Suicide Rate
Japan is a country notorious for it's high suicide rate. It’s estimated that almost 50 in 100,000 people commit suicide each year. However, that is comparatively small compared to Greenland’s 100 per 100,000 rate.
Another sobering difference between most countries and Greenland is that in the island, most people who commit suicide are teens and young adults.
In most other countries it’s elderly people who lead the statistic.
This is a relatively new development. The rate started growing since the 1970s. Although there is speculation that the reason for this high rate is alcoholism and poverty and incest rates, there are no firm studies that show why it’s such a big problem
