Im guessing it has something to do with there hair being wet or something .

Nokia has invented a tattoo that vibrates when your phone rings

Sounds like something out of science fiction, but it's being reported by the Wall Street Journal that Nokia has applied for a patent that does just that.

The patent describes 'a material attachable to skin, which is capable of detecting a magnetic field and transferring a perceivable stimulus to the skin.' The practical use of this, is a removable vibrating tattoo.

While the technology isn't specific and could be used in many different ways, the patent makes it clear that embedding the material is the main use. It talks about using 'ink enriched by ferromagnetic or paramagnetic compounds.'

And to catch up on days I missed and my apologies for that.

"Almost" is the longest word in the English language with all the letters in alphabetical order.

Dolphins don't breathe automatically - they breathe when they tell themselves to breathe.


More Info: When dolphins sleep, they lie on their side with their blowhole above the water surface. They sleep with only half of their brain at time, and they take turns sleeping with different sides of its brain. The other half stays awake so the dolphin remembers to breathe. This also means that dolphins cannot receive anesthetics because they will stop breathing.

In England, the Speaker of the House is not allowed to speak.

More info: The speaker in the House of Commons is the chairman. His/her role is to keep the debate flowing and to make sure that the rules are followed. The speaker is supposed to be impartial, even though he/she is a member of one of the political parties, and so they do not get to give their own opinions on the debate.

You're more likely to die on your way to buy a lottery ticket than you are to actually win the lottery.

Human thigh bones are stronger than concrete.

THIS IS CRUEL:
'Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia' is the fear of long words.

There are no clocks in Las Vegas gambling casinos.
It increases the sense of freedom, a disconnect from reality and thus, increases the dollars spent gambling.

Some other tricks casinos use:
1) There are no windows, so people don't know if it's day or night outside.
2) They design casinos to be like mazes so you can't find your way out.
3) They give free alcohol to the gamblers so they continue to gamble.

Earth is the only planet not named after a God.

: Saturn was actually named after a Titan, the father of Jupiter, Pluto, and Neptune. He is famous for having attempted to eat all of his children. However, astronomers have identified thousands of planets outside of our own solar system, to the point where we likely have run out of good god names for them - that's why we have planets named "2M1207 b".

There is no way in hell I would marry the same woman if I had to do it all over again. Hell, I would not even ask her out on a date. :

There are 376 hidden Mickeys at Disney Land.


More info: Hidden Mickeys started out as inside jokes among the Walt Disney Imagineers. A Hidden Mickey is an image of Mickey Mouse concealed in the design of a Disney attraction (ride, resort, etc). Imagineers subtly "hid" Mickey Mouse silhouettes in plain sight. Soon, it became a tradition, and as the word spread, Disney fans everywhere went on the search for them in Disney movies and theme parks.

'Typewriter' is the longest English word that can be made by using only one row of a keyboard.

The tongue of a blue whale weighs about as much as a full-grown elephant or a 2005 Hummer H2 SUV.

The fur is clear, and each hair is actually hollow, what gives it the appearance of being white is the air trapped inside it and the sweat from the polar bears skin (Which is actually black) giving condensation
