A collection of facts which are interesting but not commonly known. Which is colder, Midnight or Sunrise? What is coldest time during a day? Common sense may suggest that it is Midnight and experience would suggest that it is just before sunrise. How many of you ever wondered why is it so? Its a common man's question, no? Sun is our supplier of heat and so the coldest time should be midnight, since that is the time we miss our Sun the most. Then why isn't midnight the coldest of all hours?

A collection of facts which are interesting but not commonly known. We are all familiar with the adjective 'Yellow Newspaper' or 'മഞ്ഞപ്പത്രം'. A yellow newspaper refers to one which runs behind sensationalism, uses distorted stories, biased opinions and misleading photographs in a crazy attempt to increase circulation. But do you know how this word 'Yellow Journalism' came to use? This comic strip used a special, non-smear yellow ink. On seeing this silly fight between Pulitzer and Hearst, the criti...
