Interesting facts about cockroaches.

Cockroaches have white blood that flows freely through the body. In other words, they do not have blood vessels designed to conduct blood. Interestingly, even the heart of this insect is like a simple tube that pumps blood to the front and back of the body.
The eye of this insect has 4000 segments that help to see all directions at one time.
 
An interesting fact is that a cockroach can live without a head, since the brain of a cockroach is not in the head, but throughout the body. But without a head, they can die within ten days, due to lack of water, because they have nothing to drink.
Interestingly, cockroaches spend most of their time (about 75%) in hibernation.

Cockroaches are widely used in folk medicine. Cockroach tea is used to treat dropsy, and cockroaches fried with garlic are used to treat stomach upset. In the east, cockroaches are used in dried and powdered form for the treatment of the urinary tract.
Cockroaches can live for more than one month without food. Interesting fact, cockroaches can hold their breath for more than forty minutes without a break. They can run 4 kilometers in an hour, and besides that they can swim.

There are 4,000 species of cockroaches, and only 30 species live in our house. Tropical cockroaches reach up to 9 cm in length, but they are babies compared to cockroaches that lived 250 million years ago, even before the dinosaurs. They were about 50 cm long.
The cockroach's body is so resistant to radiation that they can live even in a nuclear reactor. Cockroaches are capable of conditioned reflexes. An interesting fact, researchers have taught cockroaches to salivate in response to stimuli, as the Russian scientist Pavlov did a hundred years ago with dogs.

On the sides of the cockroach there are small hairs that react to the slightest fluctuations in the air. And considering that a cockroach can change direction 25 times per second, it is almost impossible to catch it with bare hands.

Interesting facts about the microwave.

In 1946, engineer Percy Spencer, who worked at Raytheon Corporation, experimented with a magnetron tube. And suddenly he saw that the candy in his pocket had melted! This surprised him, and he continued experimenting with products by placing a magnetron in a metal box. Electromagnetic waves of small length (12 cm) cannot pass through metal and are absorbed by products, causing the latter to heat up. An interesting fact, the first commercial microwave oven was released in 1947, it cost $ 5,000 and had dimensions of about 2 meters. Microwave ovens have enjoyed great success in countries that have little gas, such as Japan.

Interesting facts about Bruce Lee.

At the age of 32, during the filming of the movie "The Game of Death", Bruce Lee died unexpectedly. Interestingly, the film company rewrote the script as if Bruce's character faked his death to get away from the mafia. Moreover, the film included footage from the real funeral of Bruce Lee — including close-up shots of an open coffin. Most martial arts movies speed up to make beautiful fighting scenes, but not in the case of Bruce Lee. His movements were too fast for the eye and therefore the battle scenes were shot at a frequency of 32 frames per second, and then slowed down so that the audience could see his movements. Bruce Lee's family gave him the feminine name "Little Phoenix" because they believed that evil spirits did not like boys in the family (their first-born son died in infancy). And the name Bruce was recorded in his documents by a nurse from the hospital in San Francisco, where he was born (Bruce's father was traveli...

Interesting facts about cognac.

Residents of the French town of Cognac were the first to notice the properties of alcohol, which had been standing for a long time in an oak barrel, and one of the most noble alcoholic beverages is named after this village. The recipe for making cognac is both simple and complex at the same time. Grape juice is brought to fermentation and then distilled twice in an alembic over an open flame. Interestingly, after the second distillation, only the middle part of the alcohol is left, using it for the production of cognac. The alcohol is aged in oak barrels for at least two years. At the last stage, the master mixes cognac spirits of different ages to create a harmonious combination of depth and complexity of taste.   There are quite a lot of cognac lovers, but 80% of this drink is consumed as part of cocktails. An interesting fact, cognac helps to dilate blood vessels and relieves headaches. Regular consumption of cognac (about 15 ml per day) protects against ...
