    What a shame :( I wonder why they didn't maintain it for Rio's athletes to train for the next Olympics?

    TIL that around 85% of people have a pattern of alternating from breathing in and out of one nostril to the other which happens in a cyclical fashion, with about four - six hours between each switch of the nostril. This can vary on nasal congestion.

    TIL that your brain physically changes every time you learn something new.

    This can be a chemical change (for short term memory), a structural change (for long term memory) or a functional change (for skills learned over a long period of time).

    Ergo, lots of brain-changing going on in this thread! :)

    Tiny packs of seemingly innocent instant noodles contain a staggering 400 cals per pack. Yes. 400 cals. Just take a moment to let that sink in.

    And the sodium content is through the roof
