World's biggest chocolate fountain.


Kids, children, teenagers and adults gather big in Las Vegas not to win on machines but to watch the biggest chocolate fountain in the world.

How big is the chocolate fountain?
It is said to be 27 feet and contains about 2100 pounds of all the chocolate varieties-the dark, the white and the milk.

The chocolate fountain starts from Jean-Philippe Patisserie, inside Bellagio hotel. The entire fountain is enclosed in glass from ceiling to floor.

If in case you are contemplating to collect the chocolate fudge in glass jar at the exit of the fountain, then you are disappointed. The chocolate is recollected again and recycled.

The aroma must be heavenly-isn't so?

Thank you Moolf.

Obesity free generations.

If only, more obese people are aware of the fact that their mothers are the cause of their obesity, they might start blaming them.


I happen to read a news item a few of weeks ago that high fat diet during pregnancy causes some changes in fetal brain and that leads to obesity even in kids.It is a sort of programming the body’s metabolism even before birth.

This is based on some research that suggests exposure to triglycerides from the mother’s diet has the same effect on the developing fetal brain — and that the effect then lasts throughout the offspring’s life.


If mothers are aware of this rare fact, they may soon be the cause for obesity free generations.

Do you know Beehive Tombs.

Dromos entrance to the Treasury of AtreusImage via WikipediaDon't mistake Beehive tomb is a burial place for bees. A tomb is a burial place for monarchs of the Mughal era. To my knowledge, tombs became famous in India only during the Muslim rule.

A beehive tomb which is also known as the Tholos tomb is a burial structure. The tomb consists of smaller rings of mud bricks thus giving it look of a beehive.

The architecture of beehive shaped tombs is credited to the Neolithic age.

History says that beehive tombs were also used for different purposes such as homes in Cyprus, ritual in Syria, and even fortification in Spain and Sardinia.

These beehive tombs may not interest you and I but I am sure my husband would spend at least half a day at these sites and imagine himself to be a stone age monarch.
