10th Entry: Katana sword cut through bullets

Hi. my entry today is about myth that Japanese sword can cut bullets. This might sound nonsense but it is true. Historically, katana were one of the traditionally made Japanese swords that were used in feudal Japan, also commonly referred to as a "samurai sword". Modern versions of the katana are sometimes made using non-traditional materials and methods. The katana is characterized by its distinctive appearance: a curved, slender, single-edged blade with a circular or squared guard and long grip to accommodate two hands. It has historically been associated with the samurai of feudal Japan.

However there are some that compared the ability of Katana sword and European Longsword. The legend of Katana sword had been proved. Some of this sword could cost a lot of money depend on it periods and history. This is because some of those sword are kept for a long generations.

9th Entry: Black Pepper Can Stop Bleeding

This simple step really helpful when having a minor cuts

Hi. today i would like to share with you with others myth that actually true. have you ever heard that black pepper can stop bleeding? this might sound weird to you but it is actually worked. Black pepper (Piper nigrum) has been valued for medicinal and culinary uses since the time of Hippocrates. It also is used in Ayurvedic (traditional Indian) medicine to treat a variety of ills. Normally we caution people to use pepper only for minor cuts and to get medical attention for serious wounds, but we are glad that it worked so well for your son-in-law’s injury.


Black pepper is naturally antibacterial and makes blood coagulate quickly and stop bleeding. Black pepper was commonly used by soldiers in the Second World War, and even today it is often used in professional kitchens (probably due to its availability) to stop cuts from bleeding.

8th Entry: Dogs give women breast cancer

Hi everyone, today i would like to share some myth which some believes that dogs and pigs are bad for health. This is actually true. as proven medically that pigs can cause health problems, today i will shared about dogs which likely will give a bad effect to our health.
Analysis of breast cancer cases by researchers at the University of Munich showed that patients with cancer of the breast were significantly more likely to have kept a dog than a cat. In fact, 79.7 per cent of all breast-cancer patients had regular contact with dogs before they were diagnosed. Only 4.4 per cent of the patients did not have pets at any time, compared to 57.3 per cent of a healthy control group. This, according to the researchers, shows a 29-fold increased risk for pet owners.
The researchers also point to another study in Norway, which reported a very high level – 53.3 per cent – of breast cancers in 14,401 dogs. The team then tried to isolate a virus that could be common to both dogs and humans.

Virus in the dogs are claimed had possible links to human breast cancer

The one they homed in on is the mouse mammary tumour virus or MMTV, which triggers breast cancer in mice, and has been investigated for possible links to human breast cancer. The theory is that dogs, and possibly other pets, harbour and transmit MMTV or MMTV-like viruses that can induce human breast cancer.
According to the researchers, the theory may help to explain why women from the Far East are at greater risk of breast cancer when they move to Western nations, because Asian or Oriental women seldom keep dogs as pets.

7th Entry: Toothpaste can help reduce pimples

Hi. today i would like to share about common problems among us. In general, everyone hate pimples because it does not look nice on face! Because of that, many willing to sacrifice everything to overcome this problem. But did you know that toothpaste can help reduce pimples.

Someone even having this problem for long period of time.

“Toothpaste contains alcohol, which has the ability to dry up pimples and reduce redness and swelling,” Goldman explains. Wash your hands and face to give yourself a clean surface to work with. Squeeze a small amount of toothpaste onto your ring finger – the finger you have the most control over, and therefore, the lightest touch – and dab a very thin layer over the blemish. Let the toothpaste dry for several hours. Peel off the dried layer carefully, without irritating the pimple, and continue with your regular skincare routine.

As a rule of thumb, the toothpaste trick is safe as long as the pimple is “brand new and tiny,” according to Dr. Krant. If a pimple has lingered for more than a day or begun to worsen, don't touch it! A regular skincare routine should help keep zits at bay and help them heal if they've already arrived. After you read this, maybe can help you to overcome this problem. Do share this with everyone.

6th Entry: Giant Squid

Hi. Have you ever heard about giant squid that possibly bigger than a building? Did you believe it existed in this world? The giant squid is a deep-ocean dwelling squid in the family Architeuthidae. Giant squid can grow to a tremendous size. Recent estimates put the maximum size at 13 m (43 ft) for females and 10 m (33 ft) for males from the posterior fins to the tip. The mantle is about 2 m (6.6 ft) long and the length of the squid excluding its tentacles is about 5 m (16 ft). Claims of specimens measuring 20 m (66 ft) or more have not been scientifically documented.

First encounter of a giant sea creature has washed ashore in California. First it was a rare oarfish that had grown to a freakish 100-foot length. This time it was a giant squid measuring a whopping 160 feet from head to tentacle tip.

Giant Squid found at California

These giants look different but experts believe they share one important commonality: they both come from the waters near the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant in the Futaba District of Japan. Scientists believe that following the 2011 disaster at the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant an unknown number of sea creatures suffered genetic mutations that triggered uncontrolled growth.

Second encounter of a giant squid was caught in a fishing net in Japan, off of Sadogashmia Island in Niigata Prefecture.The squid was discovered after Shigernori Goto, a fisherman, pulled up a fishing net that was set at a depth 229 feet.The squid died when it was hauled to the surface.It measured 19 feet in length and weighed just over 330 pounds.

5th Entry: Noah's Ark

Hi everyone. How about my previous entry? Did you enjoyed reading it? Today i will continue with my 5th myth that happens to be true which is about Noah's Ark. Noah ark is describes as a big ark that carries a million living things during the horrendous flood long time ago. Even though there are few agencies claimed that this myth is nonsense, however they don't have a strong argument to against it. This story has been repeated in different religions but tells almost the same stories. Bible for Christian's and Quran for Muslim's also stated this incident.

Illustrations of how Noah's Ark look like.

Noah's Ark verses from Bible:

Then God said to Noah,  “Come out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and their wives. 17 Bring out every kind of living creature that is with you the birds, the animals, and all the creatures that move along the ground so they can multiply on the earth and be fruitful and increase in number on it.”

The structure claimed to be a Noah's Ark near the Mount Ararat

Noah's Ark verses from Holy Quran:

"Prophet Noah (peace be on him), his building of the Ark, the people who joined him and the flood in detail. The water started gushing out from a particular oven, followed by a large number of other springs as well as a heavy downpour from the sky." (verse 44 of Surah Hud 11)

So the Ark floated with them on the waves (towering) like mountains,
and Noah called out to his son, who had separated himself (from the rest):
"O my son! embark with us, and be not with the unbelievers!"

The son replied: "I will betake myself to some mountain: it will save me from the water."
Noah said: "This day nothing can save, from the command of Allah,
any but those on whom He hath mercy!" And the waves came between them,
and the son was among those overwhelmed in the Flood.
-- Sura 11:42-43

In recent years there have been some renewed attempts to locate the Ark.
