Can you actually stay in a house with 1 meter wide by 10 meters tall?
A house calls attention in Madre de Deus, Brazil; it has three floors and even the builder had faith in what he built. Helenita, the designer and the owner of the house who is now living happily inside. At first, the municipality refused, but in the end with the plan allowed the construction, that became a touristic spot of the small town of 12,000 people.
The house is a bit wider, but only at the back. It’s 1m wide at the entrance and 2m wide at the back - and 10m tall, with 3 floors. It’s amazing what this simple woman did with a such small piece of land without any architectural help
When I tend to have hiccups, the very first thing I run after is to try flushing down my throat with huge volumes of water, because at times it might last for, say an hour or two non-stop. I happened to stumble on an article relating to this.... wanted to share with you...
While many cases of hiccup develop spontaneously, hiccups are known to develop often in specific situations, for example eating too quickly, eating very hot or spicy food, taking a cold drink while eating a hot meal, laughing vigorously, drinking an alcoholic beverage to excess, and electrolyte imbalance.
I am sure a lot of you experienced hiccups before… there is nothing too interesting or unusual about it. Read along....
The story or a young girl who has had hiccups for over 3 weeks! Check out the following video of the girl on the show, sharing her experience.
If you think this is amazing, then you are right. But do you know she is definitely not the world hiccup record holder?
The world record for non-stop hiccups belongs to an Iowa farmer who began hiccupping in 1922 while slaughtering a huge hog. According to the Guinness Book of Records, the man hiccupped 12 times a minute, 19,000 times a day which lasted for 68 years until they mysteriously stopped in 1990. Unfortunately, he died 1 year after his hiccups stopped.
Although the hiccups did not prevent him from carrying on everyday activities, they disrupted his sleep, led to extra food needs (to replace amounts thrown up while hiccupping) and often shook loose his false teeth!
Michel Lotito is a French entertainer. Lotito, who was born in Grenoble, is famous as the consumer of undigestables, and is known as Monsieur Mangetout (Mister Eat-it-all). Lotito's performances are the consumption of metal, glass, rubber and so on in items such as bicycles, televisions, a Cessna 150, and smaller items which are disassembled, cut-up and swallowed. The Cessna aircraft took roughly two years to be 'eaten' from 1978 to 1980. He began eating unusual material while a child and has been performing publicly since 1966.
Lotito does not often suffer from ill-effects due to his diet, even after the consumption of materials usually considered poisonous. When performing he consumes around a kilogram of material daily, preceding it with mineral oil and drinking considerable quantities of water during the 'meal'. He apparently possesses a stomach and intestine with walls of twice the expected thickness, and his digestive acids are, allegedly, unusually powerful, allowing him to digest a certain portion of his metallic meals.
