THE COST OF OXYGEN INTAKE

 

* In one day a human being breathes oxygen equivalent to 3 cylinders.

* Each oxygen cylinder on an average costs Rs.700/-, without subsidy.

* So, in a day one uses oxygen worth Rs. 2100/- and for a full year it is Rs.7,66,500/-

.

* If we consider an average life span of 65 years,the cost of oxygen we use become a staggering  sum of Rs.500,00,000/- i.e. equal to Rs. 50 millions.

* All this oxygen is derived free of cost from the surrounding trees and vegetation.

* Very few people look at trees as a RESOURCE and rampant tree-cutting is going on everywhere across the globe.

* Stop tree-felling before, lest we ourselves fall.

DATA GENERATED PER MINUTE

* Each and every minute of the day, vast amounts of data is generated from ordinary activities: from online shopping to phone calls, bog-standard Web browsing and accessing social media outlets.

* When you perform a Google search, you are one in about two-million users who are doing the very same thing at that same moment. Google handles this every second of the day, as does Facebook with more than four billion things shared daily and Twitter with its 340 million tweets per day .

*: we spend more than $1 million in online stores every five minutes. Who said we were in back a recession?

* In that same amount of time, brands are propped up by close to a quarter-million 'likes' on Facebook, and more than a billion emails are exchanged.

Here are some more per minute baffling stats, and downright crazy too: 

*Email users send more than 204 million messages; 

* Mobile Web receives 217 new users; 

* Google receives over 2 million search queries; 

* YouTube users upload 48 hours of new video; 

* Facebook users share 684,000 bits of content; 

* Twitter users send more than 100,000 tweets; 

* Consumers spend $272,000 on Web shopping;

* Apple receives around 47,000 application downloads; 

* Brands receive more than 34,000 Facebook 'likes'; 

* Tumblr blog owners publish 27,000 new posts; 

* Instagram users share 3,600 new photos; 

* Flickr users, on the other hand, add 3,125 new photos.

* Foursquare users perform 2,000 check-ins; 

* WordPress users publish close to 350 new blog posts.

MOON FACTS

Moon Facts

There are many interesting facts about the moon and trivia that may or may not be important to you. Some interesting facts include:

• We all know there was a man on the moon, but did you know that there is one who stayed there? Dr. Eugene Shoemaker, a Geological Surveyor, who educated the Apollo mission astronauts about craters, never made it into space himself, but it had always been one of his dreams. He was rejected as an astronaut because of medical problems. After he died, his ashes were placed on board the Lunar Prospector spacecraft on January 6, 1999, which was crashed into a crater on the moon on July 31, 1999. The mission was to discover if there was water on the moon at the time, but it also served to fulfill Dr Shoemaker's last wish.
• When Neil Armstrong took that historical step of "one small step for man one giant step for mankind" it would not have occurred to anyone that the step he took in the dust of the moon was there to stay. It will be there for at least 10 million years.
• When Alan Sheppard was on the moon, he hit a golf ball and drove it 2,400 feet, nearly one half a mile.
• In a survey conducted in 1988, 13% of those surveyed believed that the moon is made of cheese.
• The multi layer space suits worn by the astronauts to the moon weighed 180 pounds on earth, but thirty pounds on the moon due to the lower gravity.
• How close can you get without completely running out of gas? Apollo 11 had only 20 seconds of fuel left when they landed on the moon.
• Apollo 15 was the first mission to use a lunar rover. The top speed that was ever recorded in this 4-wheeled land vehicle was 10.56 miles per hour.
• It is possible to have a month without a full moon. This occurs in February, but either January or March will have two moons.
• In China, the dark shadows that are on the moon are called "the toad in the moon".
• The Apollo missions brought back 2196 rock samples weighing 382 kg in total
