The Ides in March is a day on the Roman calendar, celebrated every March 15th. The ancient Romans believed that the fifteenth day of each month was extraordinary. We won't keep the calendar for too long, but this is a simple version: the Romans follow the first day of the month (Calendes), the seventh day (name) and the fifteenth day (thought). Someone said any day after the 15th day before "Kalends", and the days before Ides were between 7 and 15. Every month there are some ideas, the Romans celebrate Jupiter, the god of heaven and Raytheon. This means a year of songs, food and drinks. At Ides in March, they also celebrated the end of the New Year celebration with Anna Perenna (Roman Lunar, March as the first month of the New Year). Today is also the deadline for debt settlement - if you owe money, you can be sure that you have reason to read the calendar. In the modern world, most people know Ides in March, thanks to the Greek historian Plutarch, who wrot...

Mandela’s influence is a phenomenon of collective corruption by a large group of people. Fiona Bloom wrote the word "Mandra effect" on her website of the same name. "Nelson Mandela died in prison long before he disappeared on December 5, 2013," Broome wrote. "It seems to be a lot of people - maybe thousands of people - I believe... I think I am with his funeral and mourning in South Africa to extract news. I remember very clearly, together, some in the city riots, the word is rich Widow, I found it still. Alive." Bloom began investigating this phenomenon and quickly discovered other common misconceptions. For example, some people insist that they have studied Bernstein bears since they were young (they are actually Bernstein bears). Some people insist that they saw the actor Sinbad playing the elf role in Shazaam in the 1990s, but the film did not exist (although Shaquille O'Neal played Marda Kazaam in 1996). In most cases, the Mandela effect is...

A composite house is a building that has been built (or modified in some cases) to disrupt other houses. In some cases, it has no other purpose - it is just to annoy the neighbors. For example, the famous Plum Island Pink House in Newbury, Massachusetts was established under the terms of the divorce agreement; the wife agreed to divorce the man on condition that he built a replica of her house. He did - but he built a replica in the country and kept him as far away as possible. It is said that the house was pumped with water because there was no fresh tap water in the area. Another example is the Alameda Spite House in Alameda, California, built by Charles Froling. The city planners built a part of the land of Froling into a street, so a very narrow house was built to protest. The building is still standing, 10 feet deep, 54 feet high and 20 feet high. In Virginia, in the 1950s, a miner built an enemy with a house in the city center. The enemy - a competitor's miner - bought...

The Schmidt Pain Index is a measure designed to measure the pain of wasps, bees and ants. It was developed by the insect Justin Schmidt, who deliberately baptized dozens of insect bites in order to make the catalog as accurate as possible. In his research, Schmidt created four different levels of pain: Pain Level 1. At this level, most of the pain disappears in about five minutes. Most bees belong to this category. Schmidt described the ability of the anthrax bee to be "almost enjoyable, [like] a very small fan." Pain Level 2 - Eliminate pain within 5-10 minutes. Asian bees and wasps belong to this category. The same is true of ants that attack termites. In Schmidt, it is compared to "the pain relief of hemorrhagic headache at the tip of the finger." Pain level 3 - Most wasp stings are level 3. Acute pain lasts from 1 minute to half an hour and is especially effective. The Maricopa ant harvester is in this category. Here's how Schmidt explains the pa...

As shown in the video above, Gravity Hills (also known as Magnetic Mountain) is a phenomenon that occurs when creating false horizons and they resist gravity movement. If you drive your car over Gravity Mountain, you may feel that you are up, but if you leave the accelerator, you will continue to accelerate. This obviously makes the experience a bit confusing; vehicles seem to be able to challenge gravity, and on rainy days, water seems to be moving towards the mountains. There are hundreds of gravitational hills in the world. Notable examples are Spook Hill (Fort Gaines, Florida), Oregon Vortex (Gold Hill, Oregon), Mystery Hill (Boone, North Carolina), and our favorite Booger Mountain (Cumming, Georgia). Because these color names indicate that some people think that gravity mountains occur due to strange magnetic imbalances or supernatural effects. In fact, explaining this phenomenon is quite easy: when you are traveling on a mountain, you are actually a slightly downward slop...

The modern NCAA chip attempts to predict the outcome of 63 games, which means that there are many variables that can undermine the "ideal" chips. With each new slide, the number of possibilities increases dramatically. Assuming all odds are equal, the chance of randomly selecting a random slice is 1 in 9,223,372,036,854,775,808. In other words, there is one in every 9.2 million people. But this assumes that you randomly choose the difference. If you are a basketball fan, you have a good understanding of the team that entered the final round and will not be free to choose - you know that the first seed may beat the 16th seed, so you will have a better chance Get the perfect slice. Haven't started calculating your income yet. Georgia Tech Professor Joel Sokol spent several years developing a statistical model that could create the best NCAA segment. “Generally, about 75% are any models you can get,” Sokol spoke about the NCAA's Bracket IQ blog. Part of the re...
