The Life Giver Zebrafish

Fish are, without a doubt, some of the stranger creatures among us. They can glow. They can shock. They can change their gender. They can change color or mimic other species. Some fish can even climb trees. They are also extremely devoted parents.

Lembu dalam budaya Hindu

Oleh : Uthaya Sankar SB via Free Malaysia Today

Suatu perkara yang sepatutnya (ulang: sepatutnya) sudah diketahui masyarakat pelbagai kaum dan agama di negara bertuah ini adalah bahawa kaum India beragama Hindu tidak makan daging lembu.Bagi sesiapa yang mengambil ikhtiar untuk bertanya, maka biasanya akan diberikan jawapan paling mudah iaitu bahawa lembu dianggap binatang suci dalam agama Hindu.

Alasan sebenar orang India tidak memakan daging lembu adalah berasaskan budaya dan kepercayaan tradisional; bukan berikutan tuntutan agama semata-mata.Kaum India-Hindu di serata dunia mempercayai bahawa lembu adalah anugerah Tuhan kepada umat manusia, lalu kurniaan istimewa itu perlu dihargai.

Dancing mania

Dancing mania is a social phenomenon that occurred primarily in mainland Europe between the 14th and 18th centuries.During an outbreak of dancing mania, groups of strange people,sometimes thousands at a time, would dance uncontrollably and bizarrely.Many strange incidents of dancing mania have been recorded.  During these events, men, women, and children dance through the streets of towns or cities, sometimes foaming at the mouth until they collapse and die from fatigue.  One of the first major outbreaks of the mania occurred in Aachen, Germany, on June 24, 1374.    

During the event, the populace danced wildly through the streets, screaming of visions and hallucinations, and even continued to writhe and twist after they were too exhausted to stand.  The phenomenon is well-documented in contemporary writings.  During the initial outbreaks of the mania, religious ceremonies were often held in an attempt to exorcise the demons believed to be causing the dancing.  No real consensus exists as to what caused the
mania.  However, some cases, especially the one in Aachen, may have been caused by ergot poisoning, or ergotism, known in the Middle Ages as "St. Anthony's Fire.”
