Here's a fact that's really going to please the math nerds out there; scarecrow's quest for a brain doesn't end as happily as everybody believes it does. To prove that the new brain is working correctly, the scarecrow quotes Pythagoras's Isosceles Theorem. The only problem is that he gets it wrong.
He starts by stating the theorem applies to an isosceles triangle, when in fact it applies to a right triangle. He follows that up by saying 'the sum of the square roots of any two sides is equal to the square root of the remaining side', but that's not right either. He's actually talking about the sum of the squares as opposed to the square roots, and in an event applies only to the two sides that make up the right angle, not any of the sides inside the triangle. We bet he felt really stupid when someone pointed that out to him.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
