CULTURAL QA 04-2023-27 By G and Fallacy contained in there by KR 24 4 23

Q1           What are some mind-blowing facts that most people don't know?

G        Sea horse is the only animal where male gets pregnant instead of
female.

KR:      Wrong. 200 species of one specie can do that. Male pregnancy is an
alien concept to us mammals. Yet this phenomenon is the universal
reproductive mode of pipefishes, seahorses and sea dragons (family
Syngnathidae, with more than 200 species).

G     Sea horse can change their colour to match their surroundings.

KR:    A* list of 10 color changing animals.*

   - Chameleon. A chameleon is a unique species of lizard famous for
   changing its skin color. ...
   - Golden Tortoise Beetle. The golden tortoise beetle is an insect that
   can change its color. ...
   - Mimic Octopus. ...
   - Pacific Tree Frog. ...
   - Seahorses. ...
   - Flounders. ...
   - Cuttlefish. ...
   - Crab Spiders.

G     Lizards have the ability to regenerate their tails. It takes about
nine weeks for a lizard to grow their tail back.

KR:      *Salamander*

There are over 700 species of Salamander around the world and all of them
have a certain degree of regeneration. But some species have a higher
generative capacity that others. Salamanders tend to regrow their tails,
weeks after dropping the old one and the new appendage is fully functional.

*Axolotls* are an aquatic species of salamander with extraordinary
regenerative ability and are able to regenerate organs, skin, limbs, or
practically any other body part.

*Sharks* can't regenerate organs or other body parts but they can
definitely regenerate their dental structures, as sharks can regrow teeth
throughout their lifetimes. It can vary from a few days to a few months.

*Starfish*

Starfish have remarkable regenerative qualities and they can not only
regrow new limbs but can also grow a whole new body from lost limbs. Lots
of new starfish can grow from parts of the original one.

*Mexican tetra*

The Mexican tetra fish is a river-dwelling fish and they have the ability
to regenerate heart tissues without any scarring. Scientists believe that
research on Mexican tetra could lead to breakthroughs in the field of
cardiovascular diseases. Similarly, the zebrafish can also regrow its heart
with little to no scarring.

*Chameleons*

Chameleons are well known for their ability to camouflage to their
surroundings, but they are also able to regenerate their tails and limbs.
They can also heal damaged nerves and skin during the regenerative process.

G      After Earth, Mars is the most hospitable planet in the Solar System.

KR      Correction within th known planets; many space planets are
suspected to contain water and liveable; recently Moon has water is a
finding.

Q3           What are some mind-blowing facts about Google?

KR         Pl see recent OTT film Bezo of Amazon USA  So many have wealth
and started only from Seattle car shed.

Q6           What reasons are there for not using a metal spoon for honey?

KR          Metal spoon cannot be used? Pl check again

Q8           How does Omega 3 help diabetes?

KR           As usual admits authority not checked while rendering factors
which accidentally reader may follow. Why waste page. Omega 3 is only a
type food generated. In excess, diabetics might die even.

Q10         What are the most interesting facts about human behavior?

G            Good liars are better at detecting lies of others

KR: Then Lie detector is not trustable? The lie detected by the IRS are so
cool, none of the IRS are liars. Erroneous conclusion.

G        Smarter people underestimate themselves

KR      Again a fallacy. May or may not. Underestimating is the result of
inferiority complex. Smart normally should not.

G            You can only remember 3–4 things at a time

KR              OMG    Then ashtavadhaani and shataavadhani are what?
Memory is deep subject Erroneous conclusion.

G              Women with higher IQ have a hard time finding a mate

KR:    Again, another OMG.  It can be one factor within the stretchable
limits, but never true since search plane may be different. Many find their
matches and happily live thereafter. Gossip statement by the copycat.

G               The way you dress is linked with your mood

KR             No sir; all do not do that; there are individual traits
Psychologically and astrologically.  It is individualistic.

G                   People who oversleep tend to crave more sleep

KR               No sir; I was once sleeping for day full after going to
bed late night; but after marriage all changed; there is no craving; there
is  either need or at leisure without much work.

G         98% of the times when someone says they have to ask you a
question, you think of all the bad things you have done recently

KR Only reply instead of nonsense just laugh for the poor perception that
is all.

G                    When you accounce your goals to others, you are less
likely to succeed

KR:                  CEOs openly tell the plan and thus succeed; success is
careful planning; by hiding one gets into suspect list only.

G:       90% of people text things they can’t say in person

KR:          Again wrong.  It is not that kind of “CAN’T”. There are people
who may open the phone only at certain times due to their nature of job,
say Doctors. Texting helps them to see it early and reply or call back.
GOSSIP CENTERED FINDINGS.

>
> One reason for avoiding metal spoons when handling honey is that *they

> When honey comes into contact with metal, it can cause a chemical
> reaction that breaks down some of the sugars in the honey and leads to a
> metallic taste. This is especially true for acidic or low-moisture
> honeys, which are more susceptible to oxidation.
>
> Another reason for avoiding metal spoons with honey is that they can be
> difficult to clean. Honey has a sticky consistency that can cling to
> metal surfaces, making it hard to remove. This can lead to the growth of
> bacteria and other microorganisms, which can spoil the honey and make it
> unsafe to eat.
>
> So, what should you use instead of a metal spoon for honey? One popular
> option is a wooden spoon. Wooden spoons are non-reactive and won't cause
> the honey to oxidize, and they are also easier to clean than metal spoons.
> Another option is a plastic spoon, which is also non-reactive and easy to
> clean.
>
> Interestingly, the belief that metal spoons should not be used with honey
> has been around for centuries. In "The Tale of the Honeyguide," a
> traditional folktale from Africa, it is said that using a metal spoon with
> honey will anger the honeyguide bird, which leads people to honey in the
> wild. The belief is also mentioned in various other sources, including the
> Bible and the works of the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle.
>
> One surprising fact about honey is that it never spoils. Archaeologists
> have found jars of honey in Egyptian tombs that are thousands of years old,
> and the honey is still edible. This is because honey has a high sugar
> content and low moisture, which makes it inhospitable to bacteria and other

> So, while the belief that metal spoons should not be used with honey may

> computerised panel, a big display, and a section controller. Deciding a
> platform for any XYZ train depends on multiple factors at these stations.
> The decision taken here involves 4–10 authorities who decides a suitable
> platform for a train. Apart from the situations mentioned in the first
> point, here are a few more common scenarios where a platform is changed: -

>     If the fixed platform is cleared for another train,
>
>     If a section controller suggests another platform for various
> reasons, like a change of crew, any complaint to be taken care of, etc.,
>
>     if a train route is diverted or scheduled for short termination.
>
>     if the platform is occupied by another train.
>
>     If a train movement is blocking a few platforms and causing a delay
> for other trains at that particular time,
>
> There can be a few more scenarios where the station master can change a
> platform for a particular train.

> In Conclusion: Station masters have a right to change the platform of a
