Before I sleep, I have promises to keep ..

Well before hitting the bed .. I have two questions which can be considered stupid, but still up to know never found a logic explanation.

1st Question : as I was waiting for my criminal report to be ready I watched people walking into the sheriff Office, all the men , without exception just pushed the door with relative success forward or backward to open it.
as for women, they stopped to read the push or pull sign before to proceed (It has anything to do with women having a more observating and attentive sense, while men are more to be practical ? by just pushing and see the results ?)


The second question, why when driving, precisely when you make a turn at a faster pace, your head leans toward the direction of the turn .. normally it should go the opposite direction since there is a force against the turn's direction .. Can it be explained by any means ?



share what you have to say on the issue or why not add to it some of the nature's beatiful secrets

Stupidity is on the eyes of the beholder too.. I will just call it ignorance of the basic laws of the earth.


here is another thing about it

Scientists have calculated that throught the days in the city of Berlin, Germany during WC 2006.
approx. 200,0000 litres of urine was passed through the various public toilets throughout the city.
dis figure on an average day would be only 850,000...
why they took the pain to conduct this research is still unknown...

think of a reason and post it.. wat would u say ?

Maybe some researchers have a lot of time on their hands or they need to justify the grants they receive by publishing "useless knowledge", otherwise the grants may be reduced on their next budget session.
