*Actors are often called thespians. This refers to Thespis, one of the first great men of theatre. Somewhere between 600 and 525 BC, Thespis from Attica came up with the idea of an actor --- otherwise known as protagonist. His job was to interact with a chorus to tell a story. *
*Not content with one groundbreaking invention, Thespis added another when he thought of the touring theatre company, carting actors around in a cart from which they declaimed. *
**Worlds Fastest Snake Black Mamba ** [FONT=Lucida Sans]
Black Mamba Genus: Dendroaspis Species: polylepis
The Black Mamba is the most deadly snake in the world. They grow 14 feet in length, and can travel at speeds of up to 12 mph. They have a head shaped like a coffin. The Black Mamba is not actually black. They have a brownish-gray body with a light belly and brownish scales along its back. It gets its name from the color of the lining of its mouth, which is purple-black, and which it displays when threatened.
The Black Mamba lives in South Africa. They like open, low habitats such as savannas, rocky places and open woodlands. They are active during the day. They often sleep in hollow trees, burrows, rock crevices, or empty termite mounds, and will come back to the same place every night.
The Black Mambas feed on small mammals and birds, like voles, rats, squirrels, mice, rats, or bush babies. Once a Mamba was found with a parrot in its stomach, another with a full grown Forest Cobra! It will strike a large animal and then release it. It then stalks their victim until it becomes paralyzed. With smaller animals it will strike and hold on until the animal becomes paralyzed. Its flexible jaws and scales makes it possible to eat the animal whole.
The female will find a good place to lay 6-17 eggs. The burrow must be damp but not wet, and warm, but not too hot. After she lays her eggs the female leaves. The young snakes are about 16-24 inches long when they hatch three months later. They reach maturity when they are 3-4 feet in length.
The Black Mambas are found in pairs or small groups. They are very nervous, and head away fast when a human approaches. When the mamba feels threatened it will raise its front and head about 3-4 feet off the ground, open its mouth, spread a flat hood, and shake its head. When they attack they will make several quick strikes, and escape as fast as they can. They can strike from 4-6 feet away. Before antivenins were developed, a black mamba bite was 100% fatal.
They are invulnerable, because no animal can actually kill them. Their venom can kill just about anything, so they don’t have much to worry about. The mamba is mainly threatened by habitat destruction.
Voltaire, the famous Frenchmen, was a dwarf in body and a giant in intellect.
In his ZADIG, a mystery of Fate *is found following question put to *Zadig by Magi; "What, of all things in the world, are longest and shortest, the swiftest and the slowest, the most divisible and the most extended, the most neglected and the most regretted, without which nothing can be done, which devours all that is little, and enlivens all that is great?"
Here is *Zadig's *answer; "TIME" "Nothing is longer, since it is the measure of eternity." "Nothing is shorter, since it is insufficient for the accomplishment of your projects." Nothing is more slow to him that expects; nothing more rapid to him that enjoys." "In greatness it extends to infinity, in smallness it is infinitely divisible." "All men neglect it; all regret the loss of it; nothing can be done without it." "It consigns to oblivion whatever is unworthy of being transmitted to poesterity, and it immoralizes such actions as are truly great."
TIME, my dear GS members, is man's most precious asset!
so none of pakis have interesting facts in their interesting lives?
Well, of one of the remarkeable people that i have come across.
Was one of my classmates in Med college. This guy as a child used to sell newspapers in the morning and vegetables on a "rerhi" in the evening. Yet he managed to study own his own and get into the best med college of the country.
