Top 10 Scientific Explanations To Ancient Famous Mysteries Posted: 03 Mar 2013 09:05 PM PST Page1 2 From ancient times, people have always been fascinated with the unknown. In fact, because the world is full of things we can't explain some people dedicate their lives to finding an answer to these mysteries. However, the allure of the unknown is usually more powerful and even though science has provided a perfectly logical explanation for the “mysterious” events, people can’t simply let go and prefer to believe the romanticized version of the story. Following is a top of the most widespread mysteries and their scientific explanations.   1. Death Valley’s sailing stones 700 pounds rocks moving around when no one is looking is quite creepy, especially since they remind me of the Weeping Angels from the Doctor Who series. However, the place where these phenomena are quite frequent is the bottom of a lake, which is dry most of the time. Once every two-three years the lake is flooded as ice rushes in from the surrounding areas. Considering that the sailing stones are said to move in the exact same timeframe, this isn’t just a coincidence.   2. Water turning to blood overnight While some Christians perceive the transformation of water into blood as a sign of the Apocalypse, don't give away all your earthly possessions just yet. Granted, it’s hard not to panic when you wake up to see the body of water next to your home bloody-red. However, there are numerous explanations to why this phenomenon occurs sometimes. For example, the water may contain a large amount of red sediments or there could be an increase in the population of phytoplankton that is just dying to suck the oxygen out of the water and kill everything around it.   3. The alluring corpse candles Throughout history, there have been numerous stories involving mysterious lights that appeared in various spooky places – mostly marshes – and that drove people to an early grave. However, the corpse candles, as they are nowadays known, have had been explained ever since the beginning of the 19th century. Essentially, when night fauna, fluorescent fungi, ghosts and aliens were ruled out the only thing that could be responsible for the incidents are the marsh gas. The phenomenon is dubbed chemi-luminescence and it is a well-known chemical reaction.   4. The mystery of the Ley Lines According to conspiracy theorists, the vast majority of ancient – and naturally mysterious – constructions are interconnected by a powerful linear alignment that allowed our ancestors to tune in with the mystical powers of the Earth. However, the configuration known as the Ley Lines is an unintentional mistake “discovered” by archeologist Alfred Watkins in 1921. Well, because Watkins was an authority of his time as well as a respected archeologist, his theory got quickly accepted by the gullible public.   5. Supernatural entities and particularly ghosts When it comes to supernatural entities, the rule of the majority applies: if at least one third of the globe’s population believes in ghosts, therefore they exist. While it is true that not all ghost encounters can be explained, a team of Swiss researchers stumbled upon an interesting fact, namely that when some people receive a small electric shock to the left junction of the parietal and temporal lobes they start seeing things that are not there. Since the supernatural experiences are due to an overstimulation of the aforementioned junction, it’s no surprise that they stop once the electric shock dissipates.     Page1 2 Related Posts: Top 10 Mysterious Natural Phenomena Top 10 Ways to Learn a Foreign Language Top 10 Things You Should Never Tell Your Boss Top 10 Home Survival Items Top 10 Types Of Women Men Run Away From

Top 10 Tips for Affordable Car Insurance Posted: 03 Mar 2013 09:00 PM PST Page1 2 These tips are no secrets, but they are not common knowledge either. The more you know about how insurance works, the more you will be able to save off your premiums. Follow these 10 simple tips and you will  undoubtedly not only become a more informed consumer, but you’ll have everything, including the knowledge, you need to know to add to your savings. In this economy, whatever money you can save is a bonus. 1. Get a quote & apply online Auto insurance coverage may be the norm in almost every country, but insurance premiums are another story. Coverage from one company to the next can vary by hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. The only way to make sure you are getting the best base price for your policy is to compare, compare, compare and do it online. If you are unsure about something, then you call the company of interest.   2. Make sure all your cars are on the same policy Many affordable auto insurance companies have something called the “Multi-vehicle discount” for customers who insure more than one car on the same policy. This can bring you savings of up to 10 per cent on all cars.   3. Insure both your car and home with the same company Many affordable insurance companies have something called the “Multi-line discount”. They offer this savings as an incentive to get your property insurance business too. It’s all perfectly legal and it’s a great way to get another five per cent off your premiums.   4. Increase your deductibles In a nutshell, the higher your deductibles, the lower you will have to pay your insurance premiums. Insurance was really meant to cover you for damages you could not afford on your own. If you can afford to repair $1,000 of your car damages, then raise your deductibles to $1,000 and pay less for your insurance.   5. Older car? Think about dropping your collision coverage If your car is getting up there in age, you may want to think about dropping the ;collision coverage’ on your policy. You need to think about this one  - it’s not always an easy decision to make. You need to weigh the cost of the collision coverage with the value of your car and your chosen deductibles. For example, if you had a 10-year-old car that was worth about $1,000, and your deductible was $1,000, that collision coverage is not going to any help to you. The affordable insurance company will just write the car off.     Page1 2 Related Posts: Top 10 Habits of Safe Drivers Top 10 Reasons You Should Have A Continuity Plan Top Ten Car Accident Frauds Top 10 Lifestyle Habits That Will Make You Happier Top 10 Popular Male Sexual Fantasies
