Facts about blue whales

2011-10-05T01:45:00.001+02:00

This is the largest collection interesting facts about blue whales. What's the largest animal ever to inhabit the earth. The dinosaurs? Nope - it's actually the blue whale. If you know this, either you've been paying attention at elementary school or you're an avid naturalist.

The blue whale is big. Phenomenally big: it's almost the size of a space shuttle orbiter, or if you don't know how big that is, just go to your local basketball court. The blue whale is longer than it. They're also mysterious: despite their size, blue whales are so rare that even experts know little about them.

- They can weigh up to 200 tons. That's about 8 DC-9 aircraft's or 15 school buses.

- In fact, their tongue alone weigh about 4 tons as much as an elephant. About 100 people can fit in a blue whale's mouth.

- A blue whale heart is the size of a Mini Cooper and can weigh close to 2,000 pounds (~907 kg). Its heartbeat can be detected from two miles away and a human can easily crawl through its major arteries.

- Blue whales can produce sounds louder than a jet engine (188 dB vs. jet engine's 140 dB) and can communicate with other whales up to 1,000 miles away.

- A single adult eats about 4 tons of krill (tiny shrimplike animals) a day.

- The spray from a blue whale's blowhole is almost as tall as a three-story building (30 feet or 9 m). A toddler can fit into its blowhole.

- The average length of a blue whale is 70 to 85 feet but they have been known to reach lengths of 100 feet (30 m). Lengthwise that's the equivalent of two city buses and longer than an NBA basketball court.

- The average lifespan of a blue whale is 60 to 70 years although according to various sources it is reported as low as 40 years and as high as 110 years.

- Blue whales can swim at speeds up to 30 miles per hour.

- The blue whale has a blowhole on the top of its head to breathe through.

- Blue whales do sleep usually in the middle of the day.

- The whale hears through sound waves traveling through the water.

- Female whales are pregnant for about twelve months.

- Females give birth to one calf every two to three years.

- The blue whale is the loudest animal in the world.

- The population of blue whales is dangerously low with only an estimated 1300 to 2000 left.

- The female whales are longer than the males.

- The largest blue whale ever recorded was an adult female measuring 108 feet. (Some sources say 106 feet.)

- The blue whale is currently an endangered species.

- The arteries of a blue whale are as big as drain pipes. It is estimated that they are large enough for a medium sized dog or even perhaps a small human to crawl through them.

- The mouth of a blue whale is big enough to park a car in it.

- The blue whale is also known as a sulfur-bottom whale.

- Blue whales usually travel alone or in pairs.

Largest insects that ever lived

2011-10-01T14:02:00.003+02:00

The largest insects that ever lived are members of the extinct dragonfly-like order Protodonata, which means “early dragonfly.” The name “griffinfly” has been proposed for members of this order because important differences distinguish them from modern-day dragonflies. Protodonata’s fossil record ranges from the Late Carboniferous to the Late Permian periods of the Paleozoic era. This was about 300 million years ago, before the dinosaurs, which evolved during the Mesozoic era.

The largest known species is the Late Permian Meganeuropsis permiana, with wingspans longer than 75 cm (30 in. or 2.5 ft) and an estimated weight of over 450 g (1 lb.), similar to a crow. This is larger than any insect that has ever lived, land- or air-based – the heaviest insect today is the larval stage of the Goliath Beetle, with a top weight of 115 g (4.1 oz). As the Late Carboniferous Meganeura is a species of similar size to Meganeuropsis and is much better known, the information in this article will primarily focus on Meganeura.

Roman Coliseum facts

2011-03-09T15:17:00.005+01:00

At the time of its construction, the Colosseum had the capacity of seating around 50,000 spectators.

Initially, the amphitheater was used for holding gladiatorial contests and public spectacles, such as mock sea battles, animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles and dramas based on Classical mythology.

Roman Coliseum remained in use for nearly 500 years. The last recorded games were held in it in the 6th century.

It was in the medieval era that the amphitheater ceased to be used for entertainment purposes. Thereafter, it was used for housing, workshops, quarters for a religious order, a fortress, a quarry, and a Christian shrine.

The games played in the Colosseum are believed to have taken the lives of about 500,000 people and over a million wild animals.

Though ruined by earthquakes and stone-robbers, the amphitheater serves as an iconic symbol of Imperial Rome.

Roman Coliseum is one of the most popular tourist attractions of Rome and still holds close connections with the Roman Catholic Church.

On every Good Friday, the Pope leads a torchlit "Way of the Cross" procession to the amphitheatre.

The amphitheater has been depicted on the Italian version of the five-cent euro coin.

The Colosseum is an entirely free-standing structure, 189 m (615 ft) long, 156 m (510 ft) wide and with a base area of 6 acres (24,000 m2).

The height of the outer wall of the amphitheater is 48 m (157 ft), with the perimeter originally measuring 545 m (1,788 ft).

The central arena of Roman Coliseum is oval in shape, being 287 ft long and 180 ft wide. It stands surrounded by a 15 ft high wall, which has tiers of seating above it.

It has been estimated that the outer wall of the amphitheater required over 100,000 cubic meters (131,000 cu yd) of travertine stone.

The stones used in the outer wall of the Colosseum were set without mortar. In fact, they were held together by 300 tons of iron clamps.

The arena of the amphitheater is estimated to have the dimensions of 83 m by 48 m (272 ft by 157 ft).

The surviving facade of Roman Coliseum's outer wall is made up of three stories of superimposed arcades, framed by half-columns of the Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian orders.

The arcades of the amphitheater have been surmounted by a podium on which stands a tall attic, decorated with Corinthian pilasters.

There were special boxes in the Colosseum, at north and south ends, for the Emperor and the Vestal Virgins, providing the best views of the arena.

World's biggest screen

2011-01-24T03:16:00.018+01:00

The Fremont Street Experience (FSE) is a pedestrian mall and attraction in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada is world's biggest screen. The FSE occupies the westernmost 5 blocks of Fremont Street, including the area known for years as "Glitter Gulch," and portions of some other adjacent streets.

The attraction is a barrel vault canopy, 90 ft (27 m) high at the peak and four blocks, or approximately 1,500 ft (460 m), in length.

While Las Vegas is known for never turning the outside casino lights off, each show begins by turning off the lights on all of the buildings, including the casinos, under the canopy. Before each show, one bidirectional street that crosses the Experience is blocked off for safety reasons.

The LED display "canopy", runs along the Fremont Street Experience promenade from Main Street to Fourth Street. Holding the canopy aloft are 16 columns, each weighing 26,000 pounds and can hold up 400,000 pounds, and 43,000 struts.

A section comprising one fiftieth of the total canopy equals the size of the world’s current largest electric sign. Originally, nearly 2.1 million incandescent lights were housed in the canopy. With the completion of the $17 million upgrade, more than 12 million LED lamps illuminate the overhead canopy. The new LED upgrade was designed and engineered by LG Electronics, who is also the primary corporate sponsor of the canopy. Within the canopy itself are 220 speakers powered by 550,000 watts of amplification.

In September of 1918, 7000 Marines landed in Vladivostok, and shortly thereafter, 4000 soldiers arrived in the far north of Russia, where British troops were already fighting the Bolshevik army. It was not until 1920 that Woodrow Wilson decided that he could not stop the Bolshevik takeover and quitely withdrew all American forces from Russia. American involvment in the Russian Revolution was well remembered in Russia, especially during the Cold War, even though it has been nearly forgotten in the United States.
