A commodity we use in our daily lives in notebooks, diaries, etc. Nowadays we have eco-friendly paper pencils as well. Fun Facts About Paper 1. Paper was invented from hemp by the Chinese, around 100 B.C. Later, they started creating paper using other forms of plant fibers such as bamboo and tree bark.

The Myth Busters Episode 2 1. Bulls become very angry when they see the colour Red. The popular myths that bulls become angry when they see red or are unusually violent animals, comes from the tradition of bullfighting, where a matador waves around a red cape, or a muleta, and the bull charges the cape with fervour.              However, it's not the colour of the cape that angers the bull but it’s the movement of the cape. We know this based on many experiments with different coloured capes being stationary and being moved and the bull favoured movement over the colour of the cape every time. We also know that bulls are actually red-green colourblind and would have a hard time distinguishing red from green, orange, and brown. 2. Mice love Cheese!
