Can you sleep just half an hour a day? A Giraffe can.April 18th 2009 07:09
Giraffes sleep only about half an hour per day, usually in shorter nap form. 
The Giraffe is the tallest animal in the world reaching a height of 18 feet or more. A newborn giraffe is about 6 feet tall when it is born. 
The giraffe has to spread its legs apart of kneel down to take a drink since its neck is too short to reach the ground otherwise. 
A giraffe pregnancy lasts approximately 15 months. A male giraffe is known as a bull and a female as a cow. The baby giraffe is called a calf. 
The Giraffe has a prehensile tongue, which allows it to grasp objects such as leaves. No two giraffes have the same pattern.

CO2 cannot be responsible for global warming?April 8th 2009 07:26
Starting last week, I have taken upon the task of clarifying some misconceptions regarding climate change, like global warming not being caused by humans, the relation of sun with global warming etc.
Many people still believe humans are not really responsible for a natural phenomenon like warming of the planet. If you are one of them, please read Misconception 1

Global warming melts international borderMarch 27th 2009 05:36
The border has been fixed since 1861, when Italy became a unified state. But for the past century the surface area of the “cryosphere”, the zone of glaciers, permanent snow cover and permafrost, has been shrinking steadily, with dramatic acceleration in the past five years. This is the area over which the national frontier passes and the two countries have now agreed to have their experts sit down together and hash out where it ought to run now
Here lives the Sun GodMarch 14th 2009 12:31
As the temperatures keep soaring in all parts of the country, I thought I will share information about a remarkable temple in Orissa that is dedicated to the God of heat and light – The Sun.
The Konark Sun Temple is an architectural marvel. It is built like the shape of a chariot with 12 pairs of wheels to carry the Sun God on his daily journey across the sky. Gods, demons, Kings, elephants and of course horses jostle for space on its walls with so many fascinating depictions that it can take an entire day to study each character carefully
Look what global warming did to my home!March 12th 2009 07:45
