What trivial knowledge might save your life one day?

Removing objects from stab wounds will increase the blood loss and thus it will increase the chance of that person dying. Leave that object be. Don’t try to remove it. CO poisoning: Never sleep in a confined place (place without ventilation) with the heating systems, stove, anything that uses combustion fumes emits Carbon Monoxide which is poisonous and can kill you. Never walk on the stairs with your hands in pockets. While driving on the road or crossing the street, focus. Don’t try to multitask. Using phones during those times can be fatal. Trust your guts. It’s the body 1st line defense. Period. If you are being tied, clench your muscles in arms and abdomen …inhaling all the air so that later when you are normal, you can wiggle out easily. If you have no option,but to fight with a dagger or knife then remember that slashing causes more damage than stabbing. If you think you’re being followed, turn right four times. Since you’ll get to the same place, they shouldn’t be following you

Top tier TV shows with terrible final seasons!

To be perfectly honest, once I know it’s going to be the end, I kind of breathe a sigh of relief once it’s all over and a show sticks its landing. Assuming I’ve lasted that long. I bail on a lot of shows after the first few seasons, or even episodes. Some (like the 90s version of La Femme Nikita, the last arc for the Battlestar Galactica remake, Revenge, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and Defiance) went some places cool and surprising right before the end. A lot more just pancake on the pavement. Here are some major disappointments over the years. Sherlock: They were building up Mary over the two leads. No, they were fridging her to motivate the main bromance. Make up your minds, Gatiss and Moffat. Plus, what semblance of mystery procedural from the original source material the show bothered to have left got scrambled like a mess of eggs in the final season. Torchwood: Torchwood had potential, but never really found its sea legs. Then it killed off most of its cast (except for Jack and th

Some weird thoughts I've been having!

Your first birthday is actually your second. If the sanitizer kills 99% of the germs, then the remaining 1% would be the strongest germs that can cause numerous diseases. History classes will only get longer and harder as time goes. The brain is the most important part of the body according to the brain. Tobacco companies kill their best customers. If the poison expires, is it more poisonous or no longer poisonous? In order to get some sleep, we pretend to sleep. Are we working hard now, just to become lazy later? What is safer? Everybody having guns or nobody having guns? Which letter is silent in “Scent”, it is ‘S’ or ‘C’ What if there are colors that exist, but we cannot see them as we can only see certain colors. The current technology might get so obsolete in the next 20 years. If we are clean after the shower, how come the towel gets dirty? I wonder where are all my baby teeth now, I mean they have to be somewhere. The best part of cucumber tastes like the worst part of the water

The word "dude" is used 161 times in this movie. And the "F" word or the variations of the "f" word are used almost 292 times. The dude says "Man" 147 times in the movie. Michael Myers mask in Halloween is just a Captain Kirk mask altered slightly and painted white. Aliens: Resurrection. Sigourney Weaver actually made that "impossible" basketball shot. Brave Heart Reserves from the Irish Army were used as Extras in this movie. Casablanca "Play it Again, Sam"
