For all of you out there who love to cook:


Chewing gum while cutting onions can help a person restrain from producing tears.

Bats have small eyes and poor vision but they do not bump into things. They use 'echolocation' in the air that works somewhat like sonar does underwater. The bat makes a series of high-pitched sounds through its nose or slightly opened mouth. There could be 30 to 60 rapid squeaks a second. These sounds are very high pitched, 30 kHz to 100 kHz. They are far beyond human hearing. The squeaks bounce off even the tiniest insect back to the bat's enlarged ears, telling it exactly where the insect can be found. Muscles in the ears open and close rapidly, blocking out the sounds given off but picking up those echoed back.Without this mechanism the bat would deafen itself! The bat can tell the size, exact location, and speed of any object. The bat can also tell the direction of movement and even thickness of the object. It can use this remarkable method of hearing to find any insect, plant, building, or possible enemy in total darkness. As well as these 'supersonic' sounds, the bats do make sounds that people can hear. Bats make these lower-pitched sounds when they are upset or excited.
