Urine Therapy: A cure for all diseases "For almost the entire course of the 20th century, unknown to the public, doctors and medical researchers have been proving in both laboratory and clinical testing that our own urine is an enormous source of vital nutrients, vitamins, hormones, enzymes and critical antibodies that cannot be duplicated or derived from any other source. They use urine for healing cancer, heart disease, allergies, auto-immune diseases, diabetes, asthma, infertility, infections, wounds and on and on -- yet we're taught that urine is a toxic waste product. This discrepancy between the medical truth andthe public information regarding urine is ludicrous and, as the news releases you've just read demonstrate, can mean the difference between life and death to you and to your loved ones." Martha Christy Healing with Urine Therapy Urine is not a dirty and toxic substance rejected by the body. Nutrient-filled blood passes through the liver where toxins are removed to be excreted as solid waste. Ms. Joseph Eldor, MD

Insane Coincidences You Wont Believe Actually Happened America's Freak Luck During the Battle of Midway The Battle of Midway may be remembered as one of the most spectacular naval battles in history and one of the huge turning points in the Pacific theater, but it started out as a pure clusterfuck for the Americans. Despite going into battle with most of Japan's game plan in their pocket thanks to American codebreakers/Bothan spies, the U.S. Navy had little to show for it in the early hours of June 4, 1942. Where it Gets Weird: There was one squadron of American dive bombers lead by Lieutenant Commander C. His squadron started dropping like flies until, in an act of sheer luck that would make even J.K. Where it Gets Even Weirder: While finding the ships at all was luck, by some kind of ridiculous freak luck McClusky's squadron arrived at the precise moment when all three Japanese carriers were reloading and rearming their aircraft. It'd be like this happening four times, and all in one battle. ...when he wasn't busy being a pimp.

Over or Under? The Great Toilet Paper Debate When you really think about it, most of the things we love most about the modern world have been given to us by engineers. Cars, computers, and even awesomely unstable-looking treehouses have all been achievements of that singular science known as engineering. Some feats of engineering, however, though no less ubiquitous than the others, are overlooked because of their serene simplicity and unassuming demeanor. Toilet paper is one of these inventions.

Od geocentričkog sustava svijeta do suvremene kozmologije « E-škola astronomije | Zvjezdarnica Zagreb (Dr. sc. Dragan Roša) Premda još uvijek ne znamo odgovoriti na mnoga pitanja vezana uz svemir i položaj Zemlje u njemu, naša saznanja sve su bogatija. Gotovo kod svih starih naroda nalazimo predodžbe o izgledu i postanku svijeta. Da bi objasnio gibanja nebeskih tijela, Aristotel prihvaća Eudoksovu ideju o mehaničkom sustavu vrtećih koncentričnih sfera, koje nose nebeska tijela. Aristotel je također tvrdio da su sva tijela unutar Mjesečeve staze građena od četiri “elementa”: zemlje, zraka, vode i vatre. Nepuno stoljeće nakon Aristotela po prvi put se pojavljuje ideja da je Sunce središnje tijelo našeg planetnog sustava. Aristarhova genijalnost možda se najbolje očituje po tome što je nepromijenjen položaj zvijezda tijekom godine tumačio time da je njihova sfera beskonačno velika u odnosu na veličinu Zemljine staze oko Sunca. Aristotelova slika svijeta. Tijekom Srednjeg vijeka nije bilo revolucionarnih otkrića u astronomiji. Od početka 17. stoljeća astronomija doživljava veliki napredak.
