  The Past "If you only knew the magnificence of the 3, 6 and 9, then you would have a key to the universe.” Nikola Tesla, the Serbian-American inventor and engineer is best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system and is considered to be one of the greatest minds of all time. But, he was also a man of mysteries and secrets. Almost all genius minds have a certain obsession, he had his too! Tesla would walk around a block for three times before entering a building, he would clean his plates with 18 napkins, he lived in hotel rooms only with a room number divisible by 3. He would make calculations about things in his immediate environment to make sure the result is divisible by 3 and base his choices upon the results. Some said he had OCD and some believed he was superstitious, but the internet says that Tesla justified his actions with the statement quoted above.

  The ancient network of trading routes known today as the Silk Road, stretched through the ages and across half the world, from China in the east to Persia and on to the Mediterranean in the west. Each place on the Silk Road itself, has its own distinctive character and culture. It was along the caravan trails that these cultures passed from one civilization to another, to be absorbed and transformed into local specialties. Today we explore one such culinary bond that links distant and hostile cultures. Sanbosag A praise for a savoury snack called sanbusaj can be found in a 9th-century poem by the Persian poet Ishaq al-Mawsili.

The Brown Note The brown note is an infrasonic frequency that would cause humans to lose control of their bowels due to resonance. In simpler words, it is a note so low, that it vibrates the inside of our body in such a way that it forces anyone to "poo their pants". The name is a metonym. For years there have been urban legends about it. Not only has this elusive weapon been sought by the governments (the ultimate non-lethal riot control device), but it also crops up in science fiction. History 1956 – Thunderscreech : The Republic XF-84H, also known as the “Thunderscreech” and “The Mighty Ear-Banger”, was an experimental military airplane. It is the loudest aircraft ever built; its propellers spun faster than the speed of sound even at idle. The supersonic propeller blades would cause rapid-fire shockwaves that would cause nausea, spasms, seizures, and loosening of the bowels. It sustained a constant sonic boom on the ground which could reportedly be heard up to 25 mil...
