Inuit mothers use their mouths and spit on their babies to get snot outta them
In Inuit culture, mothers would sucking baby's snot out of their mouths with their hands. This is a method mothers use to feed their children, and it's even legal in the UK. Recent research has shown that as high as 20% of coffee mugs in offices contain fecal matter. This phenomenon is not only horrific but also disturbing, and it has led some scientists to question whether humankind is part of the 6th mass extinction.
King Charles II consumed alcohol mixed with pulverized skulls of human beings
King Charles II enjoyed a mix of alcohol and powdered skulls. The 1660-1685 reigning king was an avid chemist. His own laboratory was even used for distillations. For the creation of this potion King Charles paid Dr. Goddard six million pounds. The Royal Society eventually recognized the recipe. Goddard also waited on Cromwell as he lay dying. Goddard became a respected druid.
Emperor Nero profited from human urine
During his reign, Emperor Nero used human urine as a source of revenue. This was done to entertain his audience and make money. He believed that the Queen from Tyre had hidden huge treasures in Africa's caves. He was left broke and turned to theft and blackmail when the tale proved to be false.

Human skin loses a lot
According to a recent study, humans shed about 0.03% to 0.09% of their skin per hour, which adds up to 35kg of skin over a lifetime. This skin is mostly shed in tiny flakes that make up a large part of the dust we collect at home. Oils like squalene are found in the flakes, which react with the oxygen in the air, in offices and in airplanes. This oil may pose a risk to your health as it can make your skin more sensitive to the effects of air pollution.
Human head remains conscious after decapitation
Although it may seem impossible for human heads to remain conscious after a decapitation, it is possible. The brain function of a decapitated individual's brain is maintained for approximately four to thirty seconds, according to research. This is enough time to blink, make facial expressions and try to speak. But, after this time, the brain cells cease to function and the person is unconscious. This bizarre phenomenon was first discovered by Dr. Gabriel Beaurieux, an French physician in 1905.

FAQ
What is the most surprising fact about your body?
We have two eyes and two ears, two nostrils each, four limbs, four limbs and a penis. We have over 50 parts of our bodies. However, one thing is missing. A heart.
A heart is a pump, which circulates blood throughout our bodies. The blood moves through the veins. It transports oxygen and nutrients to your cells. It also removes carbon dioxide.
The heart pumps about 5 liters blood per minute. This is equivalent to an adult consuming 2-3 cups of coffee per day.
Blood flows throughout the heart 24 hours per day, 365 Days a Year. While sleeping, your heart beats close to 100 times per minute.
Color of your skin is a good indicator of whether someone is healthy. The capillaries are tiny blood vessels that can be seen on the skin's surface. These tiny vessels transport blood from the larger blood vessels to the heart. If blood flow is blocked, skin can turn blue or purple.
People with sickle cell disease lack red blood cells. Their blood becomes extremely sticky and hardened, which can lead to very serious illnesses.
A bandage can be used to stop bleeding if you have cut your own skin. For wounds to heal properly, blood must flow. Doctors insert a needle into the injured area through the skin. 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 alive till the blood clot dissolves naturally.
What dark secrets do Hollywood have?
Hollywood is full secret societies. Some are cult-like groups where members follow strict rules and rituals, while others are simply clubs for those who share common interests.
There are other nefarious entities that have a significant influence on the industry. These include the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), the organization that sets film ratings and RIAA(Recording Industry Association of America), the company that sets music licensing fees.
Numerous unions or guilds also represent producers, writers, actors, etc. The majority of major television networks and movie studios are owned by large corporations.
It doesn't matter how secretive a group might seem, someone somewhere knows what they are doing. But that doesn't mean we should fear them.
Instead, we should embrace and celebrate them. Because they offer us information that can help us make better decision.
They can tell us which movies and songs are likely to be successful, as well as what books and novels will be most popular.
They are, in short, what help us choose what we will watch, read and listen too.
We can trust them so we can ignore their advice when it doesn't suit our taste.
And because we've chosen to ignore them, they become even more powerful. They are the ultimate arbiters and judges of taste.
If you don't like their words, you can choose to ignore them.
Let's now look at some lesser-known, but still very real Hollywood secret organizations.
And you'll understand why they're so crucial.
Is there a Hollywood blacklist of actors?
There is an Hollywood blacklist.
But, the list has not been made public. According to our knowledge, the names of these people aren't known. But here's why it matters.
The secretive nature of the information is due to the fact that actors and directors on blacklist won't be in a position to find work. So they'd go out of business, which means that the studios would lose money. They would also cut back on their spending on movies. This would lead to fewer opportunities and less money for blacklisted directors. This would make them bankrupt.
This could eventually lead to more victims.
If someone attempts to make an Oscar-winning movie, they may be asked to sign a contract stating that they will not speak out against their employers. This applies to any producer or director who wishes to be nominated.
It's no surprise that directors are often forced to take out scenes in their films by producers. Directors may threaten to quit projects that don’t align with their vision.
This is why Hollywood has created a blacklist. If you are negative about your employer, you'll most likely go unemployed. This is bad news for anyone.
Many people have been wrongly accused. And they've had to fight to clear their name.
This kind of thing must stop before it can happen again. Everybody should be able to freely express themselves.
Also, we must take down the Hollywood blacklist.
What is the most secretive place in the world, and why?
The answer may shock you. It may even make it uncomfortable, as it challenges our perceptions of reality and our lives. But there is a reason why this place exists. And it is not what you would expect.
It was known as the City of God to the ancient Greeks. According to the Bible, it was called the City of Destruction.
It is called Kashi (Kashmir in India). It is called Novgorod (Russia).
It is known as The Town That Disappeared in America.
A small town in western New York State, with a population of 1,200, vanished without a trace. There were no bodies, cars or houses left behind, but a road sign that pointed to the former location was all that was left.
This little town disappeared, leaving no clues about where it went or when. Some believe the earth swallowed them up. Others say it was destroyed in a meteorite collision. Still, others say aliens took it away.
Despite what may have happened, the people who lived in this once-thriving area are confident that their town will not be lost forever. They had just moved to a new town.
Even a website exists to help track down the disappearances of the lost city Zugspitz.
Then, where is it? It's actually in Switzerland!
Zugspitze is situated on the border between Germany und Austria. Lake Zugspitze lies just above the summit of the mountain.
It has always fascinated me that so many towns have disappeared, yet some still remain. Why is it that some disappear while others live on? I decided that I would investigate.
I was interested in learning more about these mysterious towns that are disappearing. What makes a town disappear? What makes a place disappear?
There are many theories regarding the phenomenon of towns disappearing. One theory says that a town disappears when all the buildings are demolished. Another theory suggests that the town simply moves somewhere else. A third theory claims that the town never existed at all.
There are many theories, but the truth is that thousands of towns around the world have been submerged by the earth. This video explores the history of these towns and examines their current state.
