Assalamualaikum ;))
Sssup guys! It's good to be back. So, today I'm gonna share with you guys about something that I've read recently. Jumpa secara random masa tengah baca majalah. It's a fun facts, you know.
1. Where do we get the phrase "sleep tight" from?
It comes from Shakespearean England via thousands of children's bedtimes.
William Shakespeare first gave "tightly" the meaning "effectively" or "well" in his 1598 play The Merry Wives of Windsor (Me too, never heard about this before, Hahaha xD) where Falstaff asks a servant to deliver "these letters tightly".
By the late 18th century, the word was also used as an adjective, and it was in this form that it became part of the rhyming couplet "Good night. Sleep tight," probably dreamed up by an anonymous mother to wish her young child a pleasant sleep. The subsequent popularity of this rhyme means that the phrase lives on today, despite its exact meaning being largely forgotten.
2. Why do mosquitoes bite some people more than others?
Unfair isn't it? Mosquitoes choose you more than others? But if you wear light clothing, keep still and are relatively small, you are less likely to be bittten.
Mosquitoes are attracted visually by colour, shape and movement, and also by the carbon dioxide we emit. If you are in a field, for instance, mosquitoes will likely first be attracted visually. If you're deep in the forest, where their vision is limited, it's the carbon dioxide that will lure them.
Obviously, the bigger you are, the more of a visual target you present and the more carbon dioxide you give off. So men usually get bitten more than women.
Interestingly, only female mosquitoes bite. They need the proteins found in our blood in order to produce eggs, which they can't produce by themselves. Some specialised mosquitoes bite only cold-blooded reptiles like frogs, alligators, or snakes.
The best advice about mosquitoes is that when you are giving an outdoor party or picnic, be sure, very sure to invite a large man wearing dark clothes and who fidgets a lot. The mosquitoes will bite him ofc, leaving the rest of your guest relatively unscathed.
