When you sleep, you grow by about 8mm but shrink again in the morning!!!!

However, this growth is just temporary, the next day you shrink back to your former height.The reason is that your cartilage discs are squeezed like sponges by the force of gravity when you stand or sit.

If A Google Employee Dies His Spouse Gets Half His Salary For The Next 10 Years!!!!

There's no tenure requirement on this benefit either—every one of Google's 34,000 employees is immediately eligible regardless of how long they've worked there.

On top of the half-salary, the spouse will also receive stock benefits and children will receive $1,000 per month until they turn 19.

So generous of Google's CEO Larry Page!!!

CAPTCHA is an acronym for 'Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart'!

CAPTCHA is a computer challenge-response test used to determine whether the user is human or computer robot.The process usually involves a computer asking a user to complete a simple test which the computer is able to grade.

These tests are designed to be easy for a computer to generate but difficult for a computer to solve, but again easy for a human. They are not always easy for humans, though. If a correct solution is received, it can be presumed to have been entered by a human.

The default wall paper of Windows XP desktop is a real picture of a real location with no digital enchantments!!!!

You may be familiar with the Windows XP background. It shows a beautiful green field underneath a crystal blue sky. A few clouds are scattered across the screen. The background is named "Bliss" and is an actual photo taken in Sonoma County, California.

Professional photographer Charles O'Rear took the photo for the digital design company HighTurn. Despite it's unreal appearance, O'Rear maintains that the photograph was not digitally enhanced or manipulated in any way. The image was captured from the side of the highway.

A pound of feathers actually weighs more than a pound of gold!!!!

Here is the reason...

Gold is universally weighed using a different measurement system than most other materials. It is weighed using the troy system, and troy ounces.

This system is measured so that 12 troy ounces makes up 5760 grains to the pound, while the common measurement for feathers would make them equal to 7000 grains to the pound.

Thus, a standard pound of feathers technically weighs more than a pound of gold!

Clocks used to be made out of candles!!!!

A candle clock is a thin candle with consistently spaced markings (usually with numbers), that when burned, indicate the passage of periods of time. While no longer used today, candle clocks provided an effective way to tell time indoors, at night, or on a cloudy day.

A candle clock could be easily transformed into a timer by sticking a heavy nail into the candle at the mark indicating the desired interval. When the wax surrounding the nail melts, the nail clatters onto a plate below.
