Research

I've just dug up some informations from Wikipedia. Left handed people and etc. I focus more on left handed people. Why? Cos I'm proud to be one, and I'm utterly disappointed when I saw the part that shows the causes of being a left handed. )8

The researchers also claim that possessing this gene slightly raises the risk of psychotic mental illnesses such as schizophrenia. Exposure to higher rates of testosterone before birth can lead to a left-handed child. The theory goes on to tie the exposure to higher levels of testosterone and the resultant right-hemisphere dominance to auto-immune disorders, learning disorders, dyslexia, and stuttering, as well as increased spatial ability. In Hebrew, as well as in other ancient Semitic and Mesopotamian languages, the term "hand" was a symbol of power or custody. The left hand symbolized the power to shame society, and was used as a metaphor for misfortune, natural evil, or punishment from the gods.


I'm pretty upset. ): Unique + Adnormal = Adunique.

Left-handed people have an excellent ability to multi-task, and anecdotal evidence that they are more creative may stem from this ability to multi-task.


That's more like it. ^^
I really don't know why left handed people are so rare. I'm fortunate/unfortunate to be one, cos it's Adunique. :D

And I had done research on Smoking as well. :D I'm willing to share researches with you guys.

Tobacco = Drug = Death
Cigrettes = Taxed heavily = Money = Wastage of money
Smoking = destress = Why not other actitvities to destress?
Cool = dislike by public = turn off
Smoke = Chemicals = higher % of cancers. Eg. Cardiovascular disease{Known as arteries and veins or heart disease} and lung cancer.

People who smoke = die 18 years earlier than average person.
People who is second hand smoker = higher risk of having cancer
Smokers = harm non-smokers
Smoking = death = decline population rate. Eg. America, more than 400K death per annual.


Scary huh? Don't smoke lor.

Thirdly, jet lag.

When traveling across a number of time zones, the body clock will be out of sync with the destination time, as it experiences daylight and darkness contrary to the rhythms to which it has grown accustomed: the body's natural pattern is upset, as the rhythms that dictate times for eating, sleeping, hormone regulation and body temperature no longer correspond to the environment nor to each other in some cases. "Jet lag" describes the physical symptoms that occur because the body cannot immediately realign these rhythms. The speed at which the body readjusts itself to new daylight/darkness hours is individually determined. Thus, while it may take several days for some people to readjust to a new time zone, others seem to experience little disruption to their body's natural patterns. It is, however, not common to get jet lag from a crossing of only one or two time zones.

The symptoms are usually nausea, loss of appetite, dehydration, mild depression, fatique and etc. Frequent changes of time zone, working long hours, or rotating shifts causes a loss of productivity, alertness, and safety costing an estimated $70 billion per year. Jet lag can be especially difficult near the north and south poles, where there are extreme periods of daylight or darkness, depending on the time of year, which often causes insomnia or hypersomnia{Excessive daylight sleepiness or prolonged nightime sleep}.


I dare not to travel to other country in the west I suppose. But if I were to, just knock me out til the flight has reach the destination. Cos I don't wanna have jet lag. I'll die. -.-" Have airsickness and motion sickness is already a burden to me. -_-"

Cooooooooooooool. I'll end here. Cos I'm not boring anymore. :D
