1. What on earth are these?
Answers food and_drink
Ans • Nests of the ‘Edible-nest Swiftlet’ used for making bird’s nest soup • (for eg from : Gomantong cave in Borneo)
2. Mamma Mia! • The origin of this dish is shrouded by legends. • According to one, it was first created in Castelfranco Emilia (province of Modena). One night during a trip, Lucrezia Borgia checked into an inn in the small town. The host was captivated by her beauty and couldn't resist the urge to peek into her room through the keyhole. The light inside the bedroom was only made by a few candles and so he could only see her navel. This pure and innocent vision was enough to send him into an ecstasy that inspired him to create the pasta resembling the abdominal orifice. • For some the shape of the dish represents the bellybutton of Venus, the Goddess of Love in Roman mythology (Aphrodite in Greek mythology).

New research had shown that people's energy level dropped around 10:00 a.m., 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. and so the company used this information as a marketing tool, suggesting the drink would increase one's energy level. • X rolled out a marketing campaign in March 2008 promising a "free soda" to "everyone in America" on one condition -- Axl Rose, lead singer and frontman for Guns N' Roses, had to "finally release his 17-year-in-the-making belabored masterpiece, 'Chinese Democracy,' in 2008.” • Guns N' Roses released the album in Nov 2008.
