Small Potatoes for Big Minds

I hate the given definition of the word "trivia" in my Encarta dictionary. It says "unimportant things: a collection of insignificant or obscure items, details, or information". Well, I beg to differ. Trivia are actually small pieces of information that people usually tend to be uninformed of. These are useful information that often we overlook. For an instance, we know that the skeletal system is composed of bones, obviously. However, the trivia set in as what is the biggest bone or the tiniest; the longest and the shorted; the heaviest and the lightest. Through trivia, we dig deeper to a certain topic that we know frivolously. Even renowned game shows use trivia for the million question.

Learn new trivia and answer the million question. If you can't join a game show, anyway, like what my blog description says "The more you learn, the more you realize how stupid you are." Free your mind from stupidity. Learn trifles and small beers for you to sound smart and be smart.

Every month, I'll be posting several trivia for your brain to guzzle. New information to learn, new ideas ponder and new facts to share.

To start this issue, let's have trivia about ME. Ha!

Just in case you don't know.

I've got long Hair – Hair grows rapidly when it is short. Its rate of growth varies about 2 cm or (about ¾ in) per month. The more the hair grow, the more the speed of growth reduces by one-half. The fastest growth is found in women from 16 – 24 years old.

Black Deep Eyes. – The eyeball is the only part of the body that doesn't change or even grow since birth until we die.

Brown skin with fine downy hair – Fine downy hair can only be found in newborns unless you are anorexic or shall I say skinny. In the absence of fats, the body signals to grow fine hair all over our body for the thermoregulation. The hair rise when it's cold and do the opposite when it's hot. In matters regarding psychology, hairy people are actually aggressive in nature. Oops, check yours. Don't give me that smirk on your face. Is the trivia right or what?

Melanin, the coloring pigment of the skin. Black people are abundant with melanin. Whites have less and albinos have none. Skin cancer is common to Caucasians because of the white skin color. Nevertheless, black and brown people are still prone to have skin cancer.

Well, enough of me. I'll have more trivia in the next issue of this feature which I call SMALL POTATOES FOR BIG MINDS.

  1. Ya know that hairy people are more prone to be aggressive because they have higher levels of testosterone. And high testosterone is one of the leading reasons men go bald?
