Ordinary things that are amazing.

The fact that in, god knows how many years of life, countless wars, so many people dying, and humanity is not only still alive, but advancing every day.

This thread used to be good!

One thing I'll always remember as being amazing is when my younger sister was only a small baby and she picked up the spoon and jar of food and fed herself for the first time. That really took me back, the fact that she knew even at that age to feed herself to stay alive. Still think about it every now and then.

Now she's 7 and is mental.

- The fact that your heart never stops beating all your life.
- And to think that before you were born you were scattered across supermarket shelves probably in the form of, among other things - butter, carrots, apples, some chicken fillets and a few tea bags. Just think of that the next time you go shopping.

- How you can see through a solid object, i.e. glass. Mad!

Anal sex is akin to masturbation because only one person is being sexually stimulated.

What? Lots of people find that area very sensitive!

Music and the influence of sounds in general. Also, the wind. I know how it works but I'm still in awe of it, the effects has and changes in and that come with it while going constantly relatively unseen and unnoticed.

glass isnt solid, its still liquid and moves extremely slowly. amazing isnt it

Woah. Cheers for the reminder there. I forgot about that. No wonder I failed Science at Junior.

Ah yes, that rings a bell. I was too busy daydreaming back in physics.

No, it's an amorphous solid. When heated it just turns softer and sags rather than turning into liquid. Going the opposite way, it hardens without crystalizing - i.e, it has the same structure whether hard or soft.

I used to know that sh/t last year when I did my leaving. My B1 in engineering fails me!:o

Nope, it's a highly viscous liquid. Old windows are thicker at the bottom because of the very slow flowing of the glass downwards.

I think the the scale of the universe from the smallest to the biggest is amazing.

I'm afraid that's an urban legend here's a couple of links

Child birth. I have watched three of my children being born and it is the craziest thing I have ever witnessed. Looking at another human growing inside another and then being born is just incredible.

The average human heart pumps upto 7 tonnes of blood per day. Over an average life time your heart will pump around 200,000 tonnes of blood. Or about the weight of 1,250 jumbo jets.

My ten year old. Collected him Sunday and for the thirty minute drive he said dad I have a story to tell you. He gave an indept analayis of times gone by from the dinosaures, ice age, bronze age, iron age, medieval times up to modern times. I was left speechless.

Nature in general especially with animals. How my old mans 3 year old jack Russell knew exactly how to feed and clean pups from the word go.

The universe and how it all began and what would happen if the sun ever went out. We'd all die but just imagine the world wide panic!
