This week learn how hypothermia can gelp you pick up girls, and why Hitler hated the Nobel prize. As always, check out SmartestYear.com everyday for a brand new fact and all sorts of new knowledge.
Hypothermia, The Great Icebreaker (1/1/10)
Today, I used a hatchet to clear a hole in the ice of my frozen lake. I lowered myself in, then immediately sprung back out of the icy water. I think the pure force of my testicles instantaneously retracting into my body helped propel me out of the water. According to the Mayo Clinic Online, hypothermia occurs when your body temperature drops below 95 degrees (F). It is often accompanied by symptoms of “confusion or difficulty thinking,” “poor decision making, such as trying to remove warm clothes,” “a lack of concern about one’s condition,” “slurred speech or mumbling,” and “lack of coordination.” Sounds like hypothermia could be a great social lubricant. Creepy dudes need to stop trying to bring home drunk girls from bars, and instead set their sights on some hypothermic babes.
Hitler sucked (1/12/10)
The Nobel Prize was created in 1885 by Swedish inventor Alfred Bernhard Nobel (invented dynamite). Awards are given in the following categories: Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, and Peace. The winner earns a laureate, a gold medal, a diploma, and money. In 2009, 10 Million SEK (Swedish Krona) was given to each winner. This is about 1.5 million US dollars. The amount of money depends on the income of the Nobel Foundation for the year. On January 31, 1937, Hitler issued a decree that banned all Germans from accepting the Nobel Prize. This was in response to German Carl Von Ossietzky, who won the Nobel Prize for Literature through works criticizing Hitler and Nazis. Hitler was just pissed that he couldn’t win a Nobel Prize…unless they awarded a Nobel Prize for Being a Total Bitch.
