Some Amazing Facts About Ladybirds - Beautiful and useful
2007-12-06 14:58:00 We usually detest insects, but this one is amongst our favorites. Ladybirds are beautiful, but for reputed gardeners they are also very useful. Why? Because their food is made almost entirely of plant lice, small soft bodied insects that invade garden plants and crops. Ladybirds eat plant lice both as adult and larva. A sole ladybird eats thousands of plant lice during its lifetime, but also other damaging insects. Some ladybirds also eat fungi attacking the plants. At the end of the 19th century, Iceria puchasi, a species of Australian plant lice, ruined the citrus fruits in California. The pest bred so quickly that it threatened to destroy all the citrus plantations in the area. An entomologist traveled to Australia to look for its enemy. This was a ladybird: Rodolia cardinalis. 500 individuals were brought to California and in about one year the lice were almost gone. Most ladybirds do not bypass 12 mm in length, no matter if round or oval-shaped. The delicate rear flight wings ...

Amazing facts about some dead ppl
2007-10-20 17:40:00 *Well, here are some unbelievable facts I have collected some about dead ppl(I'll keep adding more when I find any) - 1) Keen to be buried in style, the tenth Duke of Hamilton spent £11,000 on purchasing a genuine Ancient Egyptian coffin. Alas when he died in 1852, he was found to be too long for the coffin and so his legs had to be cut off before he would fit inside. 2)When George V’s body was carried through the street of London, the crown fell from the top of the coffin and rolled into the gutter. Onlookers said it was a bad omen – and they were right. For although the crown was repaired, George’s successor, Edward VIII, never got to wear it. 3)Anne Boleyn was buried in an ordinary box that had been used for storing arrows. She wasn’t thought worthy of a coffin. 4) William the Conqueror was too big for his coffin. Two soldiers tried to force the body in by compressing it with their feet, but they jumped up and down with such vigour that they broke the king’s back. This cause...
Amazing Facts About Abe Zam Zam
2007-10-11 10:53:00 Shaheen AnjumWonders of ZAM - ZAM In 1971, an Egyptian doctor wrote to the European Press, a letter saying that Zum-zum water was not fit for drinking purposes. I immediately thought that this was just a form of prejudice against the Muslims and that since his statement was based on the assumption that since the Ka'aba was a shallow place (below sea level) and located in the center of the city of Makkah, the wastewater of the city collecting through the drains fell into well holding the water. Fortunately, the news came to King Faisal's ears that got extremely angry and decided to disprove the Egyptian doctor's rovocative statement. He immediately ordered the Ministry of Agriculture and Water Resources to investigate and send samples of Zum-zum water to European laboratories for testing the water. The ministry then instructed the Jeddah Power & Desalination Plant to carry out this task. I was employed as Desalting Engineer (Chemical Engineer) to produce drinking water from...
