Fun Fact: Coconut Water, The Best Drink

Coconut H2O

We all know that water is important. We're supposed to drink something around half our weight in ounces. So I weigh about 190 lbs and I'm supposed to drink about 95 ounces per day. However, do any of you know the benefits of coconut water? It's a lot more than I realized. For example, did you know that coconut water is nearly identical to human plasma? Due to this, coconut water can be injected directly into the human bloodstream.

Fun Fact: Boxing Safer Without Gloves?

The Ultimate Man's Sport

So we are all quite familiar with the sport. One in each corner, something about chairs smashing across backs, at the end one boxer pins the other for roughly three seconds and he wins. Oh wait no that is the less manly version called wrestling. Boxing has always been something of a test of manhood, and womanhood. Think about it, you get into a fight with some collar popped, cologne dipped, sunglass wearing guy at a bar and what is the first thing he says? Most likely something along the lines of, "Yo let's take this outside. Hit me I dare you." His caveman mentality over the years morphed into a pretty popular sport. So what were people thinking when they decided bash each other's faces in and make it into a sport? Well it may not be quite what you thought. Bare knuckle boxing can either bring images of what I described above, the bar fight, or something more similar to the picture above. However the way that they were boxing is a lot different than what you or I are used to seeing.
