The History of Walt Disney World
Florida, “The Sunshine State” of the USA has always been famous for its beaches, hot weather and relaxing holidays. But on the morning of 1st October 1971 Florida added another feather to its cap, when Walt Disney World opened its doors for the first time, to become the largest theme park in the world.

The History of Cheese
Most experts consider that the history of cheese first started in the Middle East, probably coinciding with the domestication of sheep and goats and the realisation that they could be milked. But legend has it that it was ‘found’ by an obscure Arab wanderer. He is said to have filled a saddlebag with milk to support him on a long trip on horseback. Following a few hours riding, he stopped to extinguish his thirst, to find that the milk had separated into a pale watery fluid and strong white lumps. Since the saddlebag, which was produced using the stomach of

10 Tricks That You Shouldn’t Knock Until You Try Them
Sure, all of these sound totally weird, but some folks over at Brightside tried them all and are here to say – do it with an open mind.
You might be surprised.
#10. Sub soy sauce for caramel on vanilla ice cream
Apparently it tastes the same? You first!
#9. Change your socks
Having a bad day? Change your socks. Transitioning from work to play? Swap out your tights. It feels so good it will give you a whole new outlook on life.
#8. Eat your pizza wet
Seriously. Before you heat it up, put a wet paper towel on top or spritz it with water.
#7. Put vinegar on your fries along with salt
The Brits are definitely onto something.
#6. Add a melted marshmallow and peanut butter to your burger
These are so popular they’re on the menu at some burger joints these days.
#5. Take a sun bath
Turns out cats are onto something – 15-20 minutes in a warm, sunny spot will liven up the rest of your day.
#4. Feeling lazy? Take a shower.
It’s better than coffee when it comes to washing the stress away and giving you a boost of energy.
#3. Rub salt or stainless steel on your hands to get rid of a garlic smell
It works on your breath, too – hold a spoon or fork in your mouth for 30 seconds to diminish an overload of garlic.
#2. Put salted peanuts in your coke
It’s a delicious salty-sweet beverage AND a snack, all in one.
#1. Salt is magic!
Put it on fruit or in hot chocolate to cut the sweetness, and into your coffee to dissolve some of that unpleasant (to some) bitterness.

5 Things Men Secretly Pay Attention to in Women
There’s a stereotype (that’s often true) that men are only half-paying attention to anything their better halves are saying, wearing, doing, etc on any given day. In my personal experience, that is absolutely true (and goes double for my young son), but according to this research, there are some things that men absolutely notice.
Go forth and experiment on your own, friends!
#5. Text Signals
Think women are the only ones who obsess over every word in a text message? Think again.
Linguists say that frequent phrases like “I think, I feel” mean that a person is likely to be more selfish. It’s easier to pick up on these kinds of tendencies while texting, which is why people who are tuned in to analyzing and making judgement based on what we send.
#4. Facial Expression
Despite what you may believe, men can absolutely gauge emotions by reading expressions. Don’t let them off the hook!
#3. Drink Preference
It turns out you can tell a lot about someone from how and what they drink. Men pay attention so that they’ll know what to order, but also to gauge a loved one’s mood. They also notice whether a woman is a social or habitual drinker when searching for a long-term partner.
#2. Outfit Color
They may not know who the designer is or remember whether the tie went on the front or the back, but color? Men notice. This is because it sends subtle signals about the mood and appetite for the evening.
#1. How Much Meat We Eat
Women who eat salads appear shy and often less attractive than a woman who orders a steak – she’s confident and relaxed!

8 Brilliant Facts About Blondes
Blondes sometimes get a bad rap for being dumb – or a good one, for having more fun – depending on who you ask. So it’s time we got down to the scientific truth, don’t you think?
Let’s do it!
#8. Blonde-haired, blue-eyed men are drawn to blonde women
The reason is possibly evolutionary, since both traits are recessive. Only two parents with fair hair and eyes can produce an identical heir.
#7. It’s rare
Only 2% of the world’s population (but 1 in 20 Americans) are natural blondes.
#6. Gentlemen do prefer blondes
Blonde women are more likely to get picked up in a bar or helped on the street by a stranger. Sad but true!
#5. Blonde may not be forever
Most kids born with light hair will end up with dark locks before they turn 10. This is due to rising levels of a natural pigment called eumelanin.
#4. Equality?
Blonde women are more likely to get paid more than their peers and also to marry wealthy. Unfair!
#3. Blue eyes aren’t guaranteed
Unlike redheads, who often have light eyes and skin, blondes are just as likely to have dark eyes.
#2. They have more hair
A normal head of hair holds around 120,000 strands, but because blonde hair tends to be finer, they can have many more.
#1. 30 shades of blonde…
There are that many hues that can be considered true blonde.
