INTERESTING FACT OF THE DAY

Yoshiro Nakamatsu the Japanese inventor is one of the greatest minds in the human history. With over 3000 patented inventions Yoshiro received Nutrition Nobel prize for photographing and retrospectively analyzing every meal he has consumed during a period of 36 years. His most creative time is between 12am and 4am and he never sleeps more than four hours. He loves to invent underwater with his special waterproof Plexiglas writing pad. He said that "oxygen is the enemy for the brain". Archimedes, Michael Faraday, Marie Curie, Nikola Tesla and Yoshiro Nakamatsu were chosen by U.S. Science Academic Society as the five greatest scientists in the history. Yoshiro has an age goal to live over 144 years and every day he eats a special mixture of dried shrimp, seaweed, cheese, yogurt, eel, eggs, beef, and chicken livers-all fortified with vitamins. Some of his inventions: floppy disk, taxicab meter, CD, DVD, digital watch, Cereberex chair, Love Jet 200 etc.

The floppy disk was invented by the team at IBM, lead by David Noble, in 1969.

CD's were invented by Philips, and first shown to the public in the Netherlands, 8th March 1979.

DVD's were a collaboration between Philips & Sony (then called MMCD's) - in 1993.

The first dual-layer DVD's were actually two separate DVD's glued together. The design team had to slow the drives down as they had issues with the discs separating at high speed & shattering inside the drives.

Dual-layer DVD's were developed in 1997, but it wasn't until late 1998 when they managed to resolve the shattering issues.

Yoshiro Nakamatsu invented the basic technology behind those, yes. But he didn't invent the devices. Sorry, I'm an IT pedant.

Chewing gum while peeling onions will keep you from crying.

Does this work the other way around as well ?

''moonraker'' was a term used in the late 19th century to descibe the thieves who burgled during the day and then threw their booty into lakes, streams and canals etc.
then when the heat has died down return during moonlight and rake the stream for their goodies.

Young reindeer stop growing in the winter when food is scarce and start growing again in the summer.
