  Aircraft Carrier?
  An aircraft carrier gets about 6 inches per gallon of fuel.
  
  
  Airplanes
  
  
  * The first United States coast to coast airplane flight occurred in 1911 and took 49 days.
  
  
  * A Boeing 747s wingspan is longer than the Wright brothers' first flight (120ft).
  
  [color=blue]
  Aluminum
  
  The Chinese were using aluminum to make things as early as 300 AD Western civilization didn't rediscover aluminum until 1827.
  
  
  Automobile
  George Seldon received a patent in 1895 - for the automobile. Four years later, George sold the rights for $200,000.
  
  
  Coin Operated Machine
  
  The first coin operated machine ever designed was a holy-water dispenser that required a five-drachma piece to operate. It was the brainchild of the Greek scientist Hero in the first century AD.
  
  
  Compact Discs
  
  Compact discs read from the inside to the outside edge, the reverse of how a record works.
  
  
  Computers
  
  * ENIAC, the first electronic computer, appeared 50 years ago. The original ENIAC was about 80 feet long, weighed 30 tons, and had 17,000 tubes. By comparison, a desktop computer today can store a million times more information than an ENIAC, and 50,000 times faster.
  
  
  * From the smallest microprocessor to the biggest mainframe, the average American depends on over 264 computers per day.
  
  
  * The first "modern" computer (i.e., general-purpose and program-controlled) was built in 1941 by Konrad Zuse. Since there was a war going on, he applied to the German government for funding to build his machines for military use, but was turned down because the Germans did not expect the war to last beyond Christmas.
  
  * The computer was launched in 1943; more than 100 years after Charles Babbage designed the first programmable device. Babbage dropped his idea after he couldn't raise capital for it. In 1998, the Science Museum in London, UK, built a working replica of the Babbage machine, using the materials and work methods available at Babbage's time. It worked just as Babbage had intended.
  
  
  Electric Chair
  
  The electric chair was invented by a dentist, Alfred Southwick.
  
  
  E-Mail
  
  The first e-mail was sent over the Internet in 1972.
  
  
  Eye Glasses
  
  The Chinese invented eyeglasses. Marco Polo reported seeing many pairs worn by the Chinese as early as 1275, 500 years before lens grinding became an art in the West.
  
  
  Glass
  
  If hot water is suddenly poured into a glass that glass is more apt to break if it is thick than if it is thin. This is why test tubes are made of thin glass.
  
  
  Hard Hats
  
  Construction workers hard hats were first invented and used in the building of the Hoover Dam in 1933.
  
  
  Hoover Dam
  
  The Hoover Dam was built to last 2,000 years. The concrete in it will not even be fully cured for another 500 years.
  
  
  Limelight
  
  Limelight was how we lit the stage before electricity was invented. Basically, illumination was produced by heating blocks of lime until they glowed.
  
  
  Mobile (Cellular) Phones
  
  As much as 80% of microwaves from mobile phones are absorbed by your head.
  
  
  Nuclear Power
  
  Nuclear ships are basically steamships and driven by steam turbines. The reactor just develops heat to boil the water.
  
  
  Oil
  
  The amount of oil that is used worldwide in one year is doubling every ten years. If that rate of increase continues and if the world were nothing but oil, all the oil would be used up in 400 years.
  
  
  Radio Waves
  Radio waves travel so much faster than sound waves that a broadcast voice can be heard sooner 18,000 km away than in the back of the room in which it originated.
  
  
  Rickshaw
  The rickshaw was invented by the Reverend Jonathan Scobie, an American Baptist minister living in Yokohama, Japan, built the first model in 1869 in order to transport his invalid wife. Today it remains a common mode of transportation in the Orient.
  
  
  Ships & Boats
  
  * The cruise liner, Queen Elizabeth 2, moves only six inches for each gallon of diesel that it burns.
  
  
  * The world's oldest surviving boat is a simple 10 feet long dugout dated to 7400 BC. It was discovered in Pesse Holland in the Netherlands.
  
  
  * Rock drawings from the Red Sea site of Wadi Hammamat, dated to around 4000 BC show that Egyptian boats were made from papyrus and reeds.
  
  
  * The world's earliest known plank-built ship, made from cedar and sycamore wood and dated to 2600 BC, was discovered next to the Great Pyramid in 1952.
  
  
  * The Egyptians created the first organized navy in 2300 BC.
  
  
  * Oar-powered ships were developed by the Sumerians in 3500 BC.
  
  
  * Sails were first used by the Phoenicians around 2000 BC.
  
  
  Silicon Chip
  
  A chip of silicon a quarter-inch square has the capacity of the original 1949 ENIAC computer, which occupied a city block.
  
  
  Skyscraper
  
  The term skyscraper was first used way back in 1888 to describe an 11-story building.
  
  
  Sound
  
  Sound travels 15 times faster through steel than through the air.
  
  
  Telephones
  
  There are more than 600 million telephone lines today, yet almost half the world's population has never made a phone call.
  
  
  Television
  
  Scottish inventor John Logie Baird gave the first public demonstration of television in 1926 in Soho, London. Ten years later there were only 100 TV sets in the world.
  
  
  Traffic Lights
  
  Traffic lights were used before the advent of the motorcar. In 1868, a lantern with red and green signals was used at a London intersection to control the flow of horse buggies and pedestrians.
  
  
  Transistors
  More than a billion transistors are manufactured... every second.
  
  
  VCR's
  
  The first VCR, made in 1956, was the size of a piano.
  
  
  Windmill
  
  The windmill originated in Iran in AD 644. It was used to grind grain.
  
  
  World Trade Center
  
  The World Trade Center towers were designed to collapse in a pancake-like fashion, instead of simply falling over on their sides. This design feature saved hundreds, perhaps thousands of lives on Sept. 11, 2001, when they were destroyed by terrorists.

  کوکا کولا!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  نوشابه گازدار : همه ما شنيده ايم كه نوشابه هاي گازدار براي سلامتي مضر است ، اما آيا ميدانيد:
  
  1- در بسياري از ايالتهاي آمريكا، مامورين پليس راه دو گالن كوكاكولا در صندوق عقب ماشينشان دارند تا در صورت تصادف رانندگي، خون را با كمك آن از جاده پاك كند
  
  ۲- اگر تكه اي از گوشت گاو را در يك كاسه كوكاكولا قراردهيد پس از دو روز ناپديد ميشود.
  
  ۳- براي تميز كردن مستراح: يك قوطي كوكاكولا را داخل كاسه توالت بريزيد و يك ساعت صبر كنيد، سپس باآب پر فشار بشوييد. اسيد سيتريك موجود در كوكاكولا لكه ها را از سطوح چيني مي زدايد.
  
  ۴- براي برطرف كردن لكه هاي زنگ از سپر آبكرم كاري شده اتومبيل: سپر را با يك تكه كاغذ (فويل) آلومينيوم مچاله شده آغشته به كوكاكولا بساييد.
  
  ۵- براي تميز كردن فساد قطب هاي باتري اتومبيل: يك قوطي كوكاكولا را روي قطبها بريزيد تا با غليان كردن، آن را تميز كند.
  
  ۶- براي شل كردن پيچ و مهره هاي زنگ زده: تكه اي پارچه را كه در كوكاكولا خيس شده است براي چند دقيقه بر روي پيچ و مهره قرار دهيد.
  
  ۷- براي پختن گوشت ران آبدار: يك قوطي كوكاكولا را داخل ماهي تابه خالي كنيد، گوشت را لاي كاغذ آلومينيوم بپيچيد و داخل ماهي تابه بپزيد. سي دقيقه قبل از اتمام پخت، كاغذ آلومينيوم را باز كنيد، و آب گوشت را با كوكاكولاي داخل ماهي تابه مخلوط كنيد تا سس قهوه اي رنگ عالي به دست آيد.
  
  ۸- براي پاك كردن چربي از لباسها: يك قوطي كوكاكولا را داخل ماشين لباسشويي پر از لباسهاي چرب خالي كنيد، پودر لباسشويي اضافه كنيد و ماشين را روي دور عادي روشن كنيد. كوكاكولا به تميز شدن لكه هاي چربي كمك ميكند.
  
  ۹- كوكاكولا همچنين بخار آب را از روي شيشه جلوي اتومبيل تميز ميكند. (در مناطق سرد و مرطوب، مثل Midwest در شمال ايالات متحده آمريكا ) گاهي اوقات شيشه جلوي اتومبيل از بيرون بخار ميكند كه با برف پاك كن پاك نميشود.
  
  10- ماده موثر كوكاكولا اسيد فسفريك با pH برابر 2.8 است و اسيد فسفريك ناخن را در مدت ۴ روز حل ميكند. همچنين كلسيم را از استخوانها ميزدايد و عامل اصلي افزايش روزآفزون پوكي استخوان است.
  
  11- براي حمل محلول كوكاكولا (محلول غليظ شده)، كاميونهاي حامل بايد از علامتهاي ويژه مواد خطرناك كه براي حمل مواد به شدت خوردنده در نظر گرفته شده است استفاده كنند. (يكي دو ماه قبل يك كاميون حامل محلول غليظ شده نوشابه در سد قشلاق اطراف سنندج كه آب شرب اين شهر را تامين ميكند، سقوط كرد. )
  
  12- توزيع كنندگان كوكاكولا بيش از ۲۰ سال است كه از كوكاكولا براي تميز كردن موتور كاميونهاي خود استفاده ميكنند.

  The Most Important Body Part, Think About It
  My mother used to ask me:
  "What is the most important part of the body?"
  
  Through the years I would take a guess at what I thought was the
  correct answer.
  
  When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as
  humans, so I said, "My ears, Mommy."
  She said, "No Many people are deaf.
  But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon."
  
  Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my
  first attempt, I had contemplated the correct answer. So this
  time I told her, "Mommy, sight is very important to everybody,
  so it must be our eyes. She looked at me and told me, "You are
  learning fast, but the answer is not correct because there are
  many people who are blind."
  
  Stumped again, I continued my quest for knowledge. Over the
  years, Mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer
  was, "No, but you are getting smarter every year, my child."
  
  Then last year, my grandpa died.
  Everybody was hurt.
  Everybody was crying.
  Even my father cried.
  I remember that especially because it was only the second time I
  saw him cry. My Mom looked at me when it was our turn to say
  our final good-bye to Grandpa.
  
  She asked me,
  "Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?"
  
  I was shocked when she asked me this now.
  I always thought this was a game between her and me.
  She saw the confusion on my face and told me,
  "This question is very important.
  It shows that you have really lived in your life.
  
  For every body part you gave me in the past, I have told you was
  wrong and I have given you an example why.
  But today is the day you need to learn this important lesson."
  
  She looked down at me as only a mother can.
  I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said,
  
  "My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder."
  
  I asked, "Is it because it holds up my head?"
  She replied, "No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend
  or a loved one when they cry.
  
  Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometime in life, my dear.
  I only hope that you have enough love and friends that you will
  always have a shoulder to cry on when you need it."
  
  Then and there I knew the most important body part is not a
  selfish one. It is sympathetic to the pain of others.
  
  People will forget what you said...
  People will forget what you did....
  But people will NEVER forget how you made them feel.
  
  
  True or not, the story makes you stop and think.
