The number of roses you give to a person actually means some thing.

It's something that most people (probably most likely of the male side of things) don't know. There is a code and meaning behind the number of roses you give to someone on a bouquet. Here's some examples:

• One rose: On a first date, it means love at first sight. 
• Three roses: the shared love of a couple. A traditional one month anniversary.
• Nine roses: Means we'll be together forever.
• Twelve roses: Means "be mine!"
• Fifteen roses: "I'm sorry!"
• Twenty-four: "I'm yours!"

I'm curious to know. I'm a guy and I had NO idea about this. Tell us in the comments two things: If you already knew this, and whether you're a guy or a girl. 

A man reportedly had a second face on the back of his head, it even laughed and cried!

His name was Edward Mordrake, and he was born with an extra face on the back of his head. Although the face was not able to speak, it reportedly laughed and cried. Mordrake begged doctors to remove his “demon head” because it whispered horrible things to him at night but no doctors attempted it.

He committed suicide at age 23. However, take this with a grain of salt, because it has been difficult to determine the true facts behind his case. Everything from the way he committed suicide to the exact placement of his second face has been debated.

There is a place in Austria that is a dry park in the Winter, and a 10m deep lake in the summer!

It's a pretty strange natural phenomenon, but an area located at the foot of the Hochshwab Mountains in the Austrian region of Styria is a part time park, and part time lake.

In the winter months, the park is pretty dry, and provides a good time hiking far from a city. However, in the summer months, it's a 10m deep lake. The reason for this is because in the summer, the snow and ice around the mountains melts and floods the park. The Green Lake, as it is called, attracts divers who are curious to see how the park looks like underwater. Check out a photo to the left and many more at the source.

The word ‘swagger’ dates back to Shakespearean times!

In fact, the popular word to describe something in a bragging manner has its first written use in the 1596 play A Midsummer Night’s Dream! The quote of the original usage is as follows from character, Puck: “What hempen homespuns have we swaggering here?”

There are even earlier occurrences that may have to do with the word dating back farther before Shakespeare to the 1300s! But what can you do with this newfound knowledge? The next time your English teacher complains on how kids speak to one another, you can give that teacher a lesson on the history and evolution on this word we use so commonly today!

Neuroscientists found that people who “speak in tongues” don’t do it on purpose and that the language doesn’t stem from the language center of the brain!

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania brain scanned five women as they spoke in tongues. Their findings? They discovered that their frontal lobes, which do the conscious thinking, and their language centers were relatively inactive, compared to normal activity!

The region of the brain that maintains self-consciousness was active, however. The women were not in blind trances, though. The act of speaking in tongues is rooted in the Old and New Testaments and Christians say it is the act of God speaking through the person. The research has shown that the description given for speaking in tongues is quite accurate to what is taking place in the brain at that time. Mental illness is rare in people who speak in tongues, contrary to popular thought.

In fact, a recent study showed that people who practice speaking in tongues are more emotionally healthy than those who do not.
