[www.keralites.net] OMG! Can this even be true?

 

OMG! Can this even be true? #10An iPad 2 would cost $15,000 if made by American workers If you didn't already, now you know why outsourcing is such a big deal! Yep, because foreign labor is a fraction of the price of American labor. Is this okay? We're not going to judge, but this is definitely one to think about. #9 Chocolate releases the same chemical into your body that you get when you start falling in love Ever fallen in love? Then you've felt the effects of Phenylethylamine (PEA), and it probably felt pretty familiar. That's because every time you grab a chocolate bar from the corner store, you're feeling the effects of raw love. No wonder we feel so strongly about our favorite dessert! #8 The whoopee cushion was invented by a Roman Emperor at age 14 Hey, at age 14, we thought whoopee cushions were hilarious, so this doesn't surprise us too much. Emperor Elagabalus was assassinated at age 18, however, so maybe it would've been good for him to hold off on the fart jokes around his powerful guests. #7 In times of economic troubles, Russian teachers can be paid in vodka I'm sure a regular paycheck would be preferred, but if your country doesn't have the money and you still have to deal with screaming kids every day, a little something to ease the pain is probably good, right? #6 91% of people text things they could never say in person Texting sure made things a lot more convenient, and apparently it also made us more open. Before you send a text, take a second to think if it's something you'd tell them in person. #5 Laughter helps kill viruses and tumor cells Apparently having a sense of humor is important for staying alive! Indeed, laughing increases antibody activity within your body by about 20%, meaning you should watch tons of reruns of Parks and Recreation when you get sick (which is basically what we do already anyways). #4 Crows can recognize human faces As you might imagine, this isn't always a good thing. If you treat a crow badly (as most of us tend to), they will remember, and may annoy or even attack you on purpose. Sounds more like a vengeful ex than a common bird! #3 Russia is just a little bigger than Pluto Yep, the world's largest country has a surface area of a little over 17 million square kilometers, while the Solar System's smallest planet comes in at around 16.6 million. Whoops, did we say "planet?" Well, now it's awkward... #2 Scientists estimate that 86% of land creatures and 91% of sea creatures remain undiscovered Seriously? Zoos better get a lot bigger soon. The researchers who conducted this study also estimated that the majority of undiscovered species are insects, or live far beneath the ocean's surface. #18 years worth of video is uploaded to YouTube every day Suddenly, we respect the people that have to review and censor YouTube videos so much more. Yes, there are literally centuries worth of videos on everyone's favorite procrastination website. How much of that do you think is cat videos?
