The impossibility of tickling yourself
It is never possible to tickle yourself because the brain controls each and every part of your body organs thus can predict what you are going to do with it and prepare for the reactive response. For those who have very sensitive skin or body which someone called “high current”, a slight touch from another person will send them shivering and screaming but, you can’t do it to yourself and feel the same way.
Blue eyes
All of us are initially born with blue eyes. This is due to melanin which turns with time when exposed to ultraviolent rays to give the eye its color. So, whatever your present colour, remember you were once blue-eyed!

Nerve impulses
The nerve impulse that moves to and from the brain travels in 250 miles per hour. This is the fastest speed responsible for the sharp immediate reaction we experience when we are pricked or touch with something hot.
