What happened in the life of film director Milos Forman when he came across an egg with two yolks?

In the Czech Republic, there is a tradition - when a child is born in a family, the newly-made father is served a plate of steaming lentils, where they break a raw egg. And film director Milos Forman, in his autobiography, told about an amazing case: when twins were born to him, they also arranged such a dish of lentils for him. But in the broken egg, instead of one, there were two yolks.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Is it true that centipedes have XNUMX legs?

Have you ever turned over a flat stone or a rotten log, under which you could see small worm-like creatures quickly running away from the light? Most likely they were centipedes.

Naturally, there was no way for you to count all their legs to see if there really were hundreds. Some of these creatures have hundreds of legs, others even more. And some have only 30 legs.

Although it may seem surprising to us how this living creature can have so many legs, they are not as rare in nature as one might think. There is a whole group of insects that are called "thousands". Incidentally, centipedes are one of the oldest living creatures.

According to scientists, centipedes have existed for millions of years. While many people have difficulty walking on their two legs, centipedes manage their hundred legs without much difficulty. Their legs are arranged in pairs, and each pair grows from a segment of the centipede's body, which is flat and equipped with many articulations. In the next section of the centipede's head are two long antennae and two venomous hooks.

The venom of most centipedes is harmless to humans, but there are some species in the tropics, 20-25 centimeters long, whose bites can be dangerous. Such centipedes are known for being able to kill even small birds!

Millipedes reproduce by laying eggs in open areas. Some of them are born already with a full set of legs. Others are born with seven pairs, and the rest of the legs are added each time they change skin until they are fully grown. Centipedes come out at night to search for food, and during the day they hide under rocks or rotten trees.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Two mushrooms on chocolate 14.09.2000

Until 1995, Brazil was the world's leading exporter of cocoa beans. Since then, the Brazilian cocoa crop has shrunk by about four times.

The reason is the fungus Crinipellis pemiciosa, which attacked the plantations. It causes "witch's brooms" on the cocoa tree's branches and, more importantly, destroys the tree's beans themselves. But scientists have noticed that sometimes another fungus called Trichoderma viride grows on this fungus in the Amazon floodplain.

Researchers at the US Department of Agriculture, along with Brazilian scientists, suggested that farmers spray trees with Trichoderma spores. There are already signs of a recovery in the plantations, but it is clear that in the next few years it will not be possible to return the harvest to normal, and the price of chocolate will continue to rise.
