I introduce you a tv series : Mythbusters, a.k.a "Productive Weekend Mate"
Now, here are two responsive articles I made to some of their work...
MYTH 1 : Sneezing with Your Eyes Open
Although it might sound simple, the myth that
sneezing can pop our eyes out had fooled me, my relatives, and my friends for
quite some time. It is not hard to believe this, since sneezing creates an
unyielding pushing force of air going through mouth and nose. Moreover, human have
reflex to close their eyes while sneezing, getting more people to believe it is
true.
In respect to science, this myth has been proven
wrong recently by Mythbusters, a tv
series with five hosts doing experiments to bust or confirm popular myths. Mythbusters proved it wrong by analyzing
the anatomy structure of human head, as written on the review article. The muscles
of eye, eyelids, and force from the nose when we sneeze, all are not related to
pushing the eyes out when sneezing. In fact, many eye muscles are holding the
eyes in the facial skeleton. Other than the theoretical prove, Mythbusters also busted this myth by
trying it right away. One of the hosts survived twice sneezing with his eyes—forced
to be--opened. However, this myth might have another reason behind its
existence. The experiment was done with a normal, fit person, and thus, leads
us to an assumption that there might be some rare conditions of a person that
make this strange terrifying phenomena possible.
MYTH 2 : You Can Catch A Bullet with Your Teeth
"Footage from a 1950s
television show called You Asked for It featured
a guy supposedly catching a bullet in his teeth".
The second myth has a simple, yet catchy idea.
It seemed to be pretty obvious that human teeth are not designed to, and will
cause a great damage when biting hard objects--especially a flying bullet. In
the experiment, Mythbusters used a
deceased pig as the test object. Other than because using real human teeth is
too dangerous, swine jaw has a similar structure with a harder material. In the
end, this myth is busted, leaving me with an opinion: to catch a flying bullet
with normal human teeth, high-tech tool is certainly needed.
