Despite the fact my snobbish club's title is currently held by an extremely misguided slacker I have found that he can more than enough to stifle my naysayer in my ear. He is therefore my prime candidate for the naysayer award. The above mentioned slacker will be a happy camper indeed. The slacker mentioned above is not the only one. The above-mentioned lacker is currently in a bad mood so he is prime candidate of my good ol’time slackers of the year award.
FAQ
Which is the most mysterious spot on Earth?
Antarctica is one of the most mysterious places on Earth.
We find this place so fascinating. It is unlike any other place on Earth.
It is remote, isolated, and extremely difficult to visit. But there is more to this site than meets the eye.
You'll also find the strangest species of wildlife in this natural wonder.
Let's find out how this mysterious destination became so famous.
Antarctica: The South Pole
No one knows exactly why Antarctica was named Antarctica. Some believe it refers to "land of ice". Others believe it comes from Greek mythology.
In ancient Greece, Antarktis was the name given to the island where Zeus' twin brothers were born. According to one source, one of the twins was conceived in winter. This is why the word "antarctic" was chosen.
Others believe that it is the Greek word anti, which means against, and tropos, which refers to turning. This would mean land turned away from the sun.
Whatever the reason Antarctica has held a special fascination for people, it is undeniable.
It is the coldest, windiest, driest and highest continent. Because it is too frigid, there are no trees, animals, or plants.
This frozen wasteland is still alive.
It is home to approximately 90 percent of all life on Earth. It is home to approximately half of all world's animal and plant species.
What is it that makes Antarctica so unique? Here, water is frozen into ice rather than vaporizing into the air.
This causes large amounts of ice to float above ground.
These floating glaciers make up 80%. And they're growing larger every year.
So far, the Antarctic ice sheet has grown 60 feet since 1960.
If the melting continues, sea level could rise up to 200ft. This could lead to widespread flooding.
This does not mean that everyone is wrong. Some scientists think global warming might be beneficial. They claim that the melting of ice sheets could accelerate as temperatures rise. This would lead to flooding that removes tons of toxic chemicals and soil from our bodies.
Others, however, warn that this theory sounds almost like a plot for a science fiction film.
What dark secrets do Hollywood have?
Hollywood is full of secret societies. There are many secret societies in Hollywood. Some are cult-like, where members adhere to strict rules and rituals. Others are clubs for people who share similar interests.
However, there are many other criminal organizations that hold much of the industry's power. Companies such as the MPAA, which determines film ratings, or the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America), that set music licensing fees, are examples of these.
Many unions and guilds represent actors, directors writers, producers, and others. These large corporations control the majority of major film studios and television networks.
The point is that no matter how secretive any group may seem, someone somewhere knows exactly what they do. However, we shouldn't fear them.
Instead, we should embrace them. Because they can help us make better decisions.
They tell us what movies will likely succeed, what songs will be popular, and what books will best sell.
They are, in short, what help us choose what we will watch, read and listen too.
We can trust their advice and we can ignore it if it contradicts our values.
They are more powerful than ever because we chose to ignore them. They are the supreme arbiters of taste.
They can be ignored if you don’t like what they have to say.
Now let's take a look at some lesser-known yet very real Hollywood secret society.
And see why they're so important.
What is the most intriguing fact about the human anatomy?
Two eyes, two ears, 2 nostrils, 4 limbs, 1 nose, 1 penis and one mouth are all there. You're correct, there are more than 50 parts in our bodies. But, one thing is missing. A heart.
A heart is the pump that circulates blood throughout a body. The blood flows through the veins and arteries to carry oxygen and nutrients to the cells.
The heart pumps out approximately 5 liters of blood per minute. This is equivalent to a person drinking 2-3 cups coffee daily.
The heart pumps blood 24 hours a days, 365 days per year. While you are sleeping, your heart beats about 100 times per second.
The color of someone's skin can tell if they are healthy or not. If you examine the skin closely, you will see tiny blood vessels called capillaries. These vessels carry blood away to the heart via the large blood vessels. The skin becomes blue-colored or purple when blood flow is restricted.
People with sickle cells lack red blood cell. They become very sick when their blood becomes hardened and sticky.
To stop bleeding from a cut, you can apply a bandage to the wound. For wounds to heal properly, blood must flow. To do this, doctors insert a needle through the skin into the vein next to the injury. This allows the blood from the injured area to drain.
Doctors can also insert catheters into the artery close to the area where the bloodclot has formed. This keeps the patient occupied until the clot is broken down naturally.
Here are 5 fascinating facts about the liver
The liver is responsible to detoxify toxins and store vitamins and minerals. It regulates blood pressure and maintains a stable body temperature.

Hollywood scandals that shocked the globe
It's shocking to see someone make a name for themselves. But, it's equally shocking to watch them fall from the graces.
It's fascinating to see how industries react to their mistakes. There are many stories about celebrities who drank excessively. Some even died young because of it.
The worst thing is when these stars are made public about their problems and shunned. That's where we found ourselves last week.
Heath Ledger died after a long, successful career. He took too many prescription pills and died shortly after.
His friends and family struggled to accept the loss of his son, while the media blasted him openly.
Heath was once thought to be one the greatest actors of all time. He was nominated for two Academy Awards for his performance in Brokeback Mountain.
Heath, in addition to acting, also wrote and directed films such as A Knight's Tale (Monster's Ball) and Iron Man (3).
Hollywood loved Heath. But he was too big for his boots. He started to use drugs and drink heavily. He ended up in rehab and became clean.
Now that he was sober, he wanted to make amends. He created a documentary called Room 237, which documented the making of The Shining. It was supposed to be released this year, but now it won't hit theaters until next year.
Every time Heath tried to get back into Hollywood, something happened. He was actually arrested twice for drug charges.
While we aren't saying Heath shouldn't have been allowed back in the show business, However, it would have been nice if he could have gotten some help before things spiraled out of control.
We hope Heath's story warns others who might think they can still have it all.
