What is normal in your country but weird in the rest of the world?

 This is a Cow.

This is Cow Dung.

This is Cow Dung Cake. (Dried Cowdung)

And We in India cook our food on these cow dung cakes which is nothing but dried cow dung.

Especially Baati/Bafla (wheat balls used as bread) cooked on these cow dung cakes tastes like heaven. It gives an earthy, smokey and out of this world flavour and texture.

When finished this Baati looks like this.

We serve it after dipping these into clarified butter (ghee) with Dal and Choorma.(a sweet dish) It tastes nothing short of heaven.

No electric oven or microwave can recreate this magical taste like cowdung cakes do to food.

It's like a Mandatory Sunday Ritual in My community to make Dal-Bati on cowdung cakes.

Indians especially Marwadis: Familiar enough?

Rest of the World: Weird enough?

What are some weird facts?

 In the year 1980 in the rural area of northwestern Minnesota, a woman by the name Jean Hilliard was driving her vehicle when her car stopped because of extreme cold.

She had to walk 2 miles to the house of one of her friends, but she fainted only a short distance.

The temperature was around −22 °F (−30 °C). She was discovered about six hours later as frozen.

She got to Fosston Hospital. The physicians had reported that her skin was so tough that it would not be punctured with a needle. The temperature of her body was too low to take. She was pale, her eyes were unresponsive and her pulse was, at most, 12 beats per minute.

She was put on an electric blanket to gradually warm her body.

The only thing that amazed everybody was the next thing, she was completely cured and was released after 49 days in the hospital with no brain damage, with a few frostbites.

The question of how this was possible was on the minds of many.

There are possible explanations proposed by scientists.

It is possible to have some animals hibernate in a low-energy condition, with their body processes brought to a crawl, but still revive later.

Scientists have also discovered a natural chemical present in the body known as 5’ AMP, which could also be used to induce a similar low-energy survival state.

This may prove handy someday in the management of severe ailments such as heart attacks, strokes and major injuries.

There is a chance that her body cooled down too rapidly to be permanently damaged and went into a temporary survival mode till she was rewarmed.

What are some weird facts about North Korea?

 A weird fact is that it’s actually a fake country. You heard me right. Read on.

North Korea's famous “Hotel Doom”, one of the biggest hotels in the world, turned out to be a fake building for example with only 1 or 2 real floors. All the stores in the street leading up to it likewise turned out to be fake buildings with virtually nothing inside.

The settlement that’s closest to the South Korean border has already OFFICIALLY been exposed as a fake town with lights that automatically turn on and off at set times. LOOK IT UP. The mainstream admits these things. It’s only a small logical step from there that North Korea is entirely fake.

Google earth shows virtually no people in North Korea and the farmland doesn’t grow anything — its all mud pools without livestock. There’s no one there except caretakers and security people. Even the mainstream practically admits to this, but of course they only give you a slither of the full story.

Also, Kim Jong-Un is literally the same actor that plays Psy from Gangnam Style.

What is the weirdest geographical fact that you know?

 Manhattan vs. Iceland

(This picture shows the portion of Manhattan south of 14th Street, a street which starts a bit north of the last bridge to the right of the picture, known as the Williamsburg Bridge.)

The real tallest mountain in the world

Most people think that Mt. Everest is the tallest mountain in the world. But that’s just in relation to sea level. If one measures mountains starting from the plain from which they arise, then Mauna Kea (the biggest volcano on the island of Hawaii) takes the cake, rising at a mighty 33,476 feet (10,203 meters) above the sea floor. That’s about 4,000 feet taller than Mt. Everest, which clocks in at 29,028 feet (8,848 meters) from sea level.

Of Dutch and Belgian exclaves and enclaves

The map below shows the mess of exclaves and enclaves that make the border between Belgium and the Netherlands very complicated indeed. This mess is so bad that the border divides businesses and even some houses, with one part officially in the Netherlands and the other side in Belgium.

A true ancient wonder

 Time for some anti-gravity shit.

You all know about the Hoover Dam,

Now, look at these:

The water is going upwards.

It seems like the water here is defying gravity. I have to admit, it’s a pretty cool and freaky phenomenon.

If you want, you can go there and try it out yourself.

The structure of the dam creates an upward draft that makes water seemingly defy gravity.

An aerial view of the dam shows where the strong wind would travel up the Colorado River to hit the wall.
