A Moment Before
Picture taken a second or even a fraction of a second before something big happens. Some are hilarious but most are just scary. These are pictures taken at just the right moment. You may even predict the outcome. Take a look....
Sleeping Positions: What Does Yours Reveal About You?
A study by leading British body language expert, Robert
Phipps has revealed the position we sleep in reflects our mood, stress level
and even personality. The research, which was carried out for budget hotel chain
Premier Inn, found the most common way of sleeping, The Foetal position (58%),
reflects subconsciously trying to de-stress in our sleep. The Log, the second most common sleeping position (28%) sees
people sleep with their arms and legs by their side, with the report stating
that such a rigid position can lead to individuals being very stubborn and set
in their ways.
Parents With Two Children Tend To Favour Youngest
Parents of two children treat their youngest as the
favourite, new research has found. A study of 1,803 parents shows that 59 per cent of the time,
parents will subconsciously choose the youngest child over the eldest. In particular, mums and dads are more likely to side with a
younger child in an argument, lavish them with more attention, let them have
their own way and spend longer reading with them. Younger children also benefit from more treats and cuddles,
and their parents find it hard refusing them anything they want.

Funny Facts About Some Famous World leaders
Here are some facts that are collected on the net. Of
course, one of them is fictional. I hope you will be able to recognize the false one easily. Enjoy…
1. Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev
He was the seventh and last
General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, serving from 1985
until 1991, and the last head of state of the USSR, serving from 1988 until its
collapse in 1991. Mikhail Gorbachev is one of the most famous people in modern
times with visible naevus flammeus. The crimson birthmark on the top of
his head was the source of much satire among critics and cartoonists. In his
official photos as a Politburo member this birthmark was removed.
Plane Decorated With An Idiot's Guide To Aviation
An airline has decorated one of its planes as an idiot's
guide to aviation - labelling things like the engines and where the pilot
sits. Kulula Air have covered the surface of their bright green
737 with details about the interior, such as where the black box and radar are
located.
Plane Taken Apart In Search For Lost Mobile
A passenger plane had to be partially dismantled before
holiday makers could fly home from Spain… because of a lost mobile. Bosses insisted that the phone - which had been accidentally
dropped into an air vent - was found before the Jet2 flight from Murcia to Newcastle
was allowed to take off.
Household Hazardous Materials
It is almost impossible to to believe that our house could
contain potentially hazardous organisms and materials especially
considering the level of cleanliness that we maintain. Sometimes, the most
dangerous things around us are the ones we can’t see. Here are five potentially
harmful problems that threaten a healthy home and tips on how to protect
against them.
Baby Born On Plane Is Named After Airline
A premature baby boy who was born on-board during a flight from Penang to Kuching in October 2009, has been named after the airline Air

diverted to Kuala Lumpur.
Mums Lose A Month's Sleep In Baby's First Year
The typical new mom will lose 2.05 hours sleep a night
throughout the first year of their baby’s life it's been found… that's the

98% of mothers experienced ‘broken sleep’ throughout the first year of their
baby’s life with the typical bay waking 3.9 times. When asked how long they were awake for whilst tending to
their baby on each occasion, the study found that, on average, the respondents
