A horse travels the same distance daily.
I noticed that two of his legs travels 10km and the remaining two travels 12km.
Obviously two of a horse's legs cannot be 2km ahead of the other 2.
The horse is perfectly normal. How is this possible?

THE SCIENCE BEHIND BREAKING BOTTLES WITH YOUR BARE HANDS
When you put water up to 5cm from the brim of a beer bottle and you wrap your fingers around the top with one hand and strike it with speed using the other hand, WHAM! The bottle shatters!
EXPLANATION
The bottom of the bottle breaks off due to "cavitation." The bottle briefly and suddenly moves downward when you strike the top. The water inside of it doesn't move as quickly, creating an extremely brief void (vacuum) at the bottom. The water does catch up with the glass, and comes crashing down into the bottom. If the force is great enough, the bottle can no longer support the water crashing down, and cracks or breaks at the bottom. Even if the crack is minor, the inertia and weight of the water will break the bottom out of the bottle.

HOW CURRENT ARE YOU? FIRST ARTIFICIAL EYE IN GERMANY, CURES BLINDNESS
Researchers in Germany have unveiled the Alpha IMS retinal prosthesis; a device that completely redefines the state of the art of implanted, bionic devices. The first round of clinical trials were a huge success, with eight out of nine patients reporting that they can now detect mouth shapes (smiles, frowns), small objects such as telephones and cutlery, signs on doors, and — most importantly — whether a glass of wine is red or white.
The Alpha IMS, developed by the University of Tübingen in Germany, is exciting for two reasons. First, it is connected to your brain via 1,500 electrodes, providing unparalleled visual acuity and resolution (the recently-approved-in-the-US Argus II retinal prosthesis has just 60 electrodes). Second, Alpha IMS is completely self-contained: Where the Argus II relies on an external camera to relay data to the implant embedded in your retina, the Alpha IMS prosthesis has a built-in sensor that directly gathers its imagery from the light that passes into your eye. This has the knock-on effect that the Argus II requires you to turn your head if you wish to look from side to side, while the Alpha IMS allows you to swivel your eyeballs normally. In essence, Alpha IMS is the first true, self-contained bionic eye.

BOKO HARAM VOWS TO RELEASE CHIBOK GIRLS TOMORROW 27/10/14
Ray of hope re-appears for the release of the abducted Chibok school girls as self acclaimed secretary General of Boko Haram, Mallam Danladi Ahmadu said that the group’s cease fire agreement with the Federal Government is very much on course.
Ahmadu disclosed that the final meeting between the group and the Federal Government to finally seal the ceasefire agreement has been scheduled for Monday in Ndjamana, Chad and to be supervised by the Chadian leader, Idris Derby.
Danladi Ahmadu, who spoke in the Hausa service of the Voice of America VoA on today affirmed that the Chibok Girls would surely be released on Monday to the Chadian President, Idriss Derby for onward presentation to the Nigerian government.
He added that an enlarged meeting of the group has been fixed for the weekend to prepare ground for the Monday meeting with the Federal government, affirming that the final ceasefire and the release of the Chibok girls are promises that will surely be fulfilled by the group.

WHY YOU SHOULDNT PUT METAL IN A MICROWAVE
why does your microwave manual say not to put metal in the microwave?
First, let’s talk a little about how a microwave oven actually works. At its core, a microwave oven is a pretty simple device. It’s basically just a magnetron hooked up to a high voltage source. This magnetron directs microwaves into a metal box. These generated microwaves then bounce around inside the microwave until they are absorbed via dielectric loss in various molecules resulting in the molecules heating up (more on how this works in the Bonus Factoids section). Matter that work well here are things such as water, ceramics, certain polymers, etc. These all end up converting microwave energy into heat quite effectively.
Metals, on the other hand, are great conductors of electricity, being packed with electrons that can move freely. Depending on the shape/type/thickness/distribution/etc. of metal, you may observe some heating of the metal itself in the microwave or none at all. You may also observe some arcing of electricity or none at all. In any event, when these microwaves hit the metal, free electrons on the surface of the metal end up moving from side to side very rapidly. This, in turn, prevents the electric wave from entering the metal; thus, the waves end up being reflected instead. However, there is also the potential that this ends up creating a sufficient charge density that the electrical potential in the metal object exceeds the dielectric breakdown of air. When this happens, it will result in arcing inside your microwave, from that metal to another electrical conductor with lower potential (often the wall of the microwave). In extreme cases, these electrical sparks can end up damaging the wall by burning small holes in the metal wall. It can also end up burning out the magnetron in your microwave oven or, in modern microwaves, can provide a surge that ends up damaging sensitive microelectronics, possibly killing your microwave or making it unsafe to use, in the case of a hole in the inner metal wall in your microwave.

PLS CAN SOMEONE JUDGE THIS MATTER?!
Pls kindly judge this matter..... I was in a bus, chatting with my friend on what's app and suddenly discovered that the man sitting beside me was reading my conversation. Since I did not want to embarrass the man, so l decided to change the topic "Abeg oga, please tell Kabiru Sokoto or Abu Qaqa that I only took two of the bombs we just manufactured for this operation. Let them know as well that I may find it difficult to get to the target place before the bombs explode because there is terrible traffic jam now but nevertheless, I am sure casualty figure will be high since we are 12 in our bus and all the vehicles in the traffic will be affected too. We have less than 3 minutes for the bomb to go off bye- bye and take care of my parents and siblings as agreed. The Man, without allowing the bus to stop quickly opened the bus window and jumped out and eventually died, pls who killed him?.. i or Amebo?
