History

A person cannot taste food unless it is mixed with saliva. For example, if a strong-tasting substance like salt is placed on a dry tongue, the taste buds will not be able to taste it. As soon as a drop of saliva is added and the salt is dissolved, however, a definite taste sensation results. This is true for all foods.

When you sneeze, air and particles travel through the nostrils at speeds over100 mph. During this time, all bodily functions stop, including your heart, contributing to the impossibility of keeping one's eyes open during a sneeze.

But if you sneeze with your eyes open they cannot close.

Whilst spades are analogous to swords which was Alexander's chosen weapon, and what makes Charlemagne so loved, or Caesar so rich?!

Yes, it is not true that Humans only use 10% of their brains - It could be possible to say that a Human may only be using 10% of their brain at any given moment; ie. that only 10% were actively firing neurons, but that would not always be true! - Usage, and intensity of such usage fluctuates; activity goes up and down, and covers all areas of the brain - There is no space for unused potential!

However CAT scans, MRI, and other imaging techniques can show some level of complexity of the brain by imaging activity moment by moment - It is common nowadays...
