Comment on this Story | Printer Friendly | | Send Story to a Friend | Top How frequently do tornadoes occur in Canada? Hold onto your hats. During Canada’s summers, an average of one tornado every five days is reported in Canada, compared to five tornadoes every day in the United States. Comment on this Story | Printer Friendly | | Send Story to a Friend | Top Why do some microwaved foods explode? Some foods "explode" in the microwave due to trapped steam. Eggs, butter, and margarine have internal water that, when microwaved, turns to steam and splatters the food all over the inside of the oven. It is imperative to cover these foods well when microwaving. Comment on this Story | Printer Friendly | | Send Story to a Friend | Top How well does a cat hear? Cats have amazing hearing ability. A cat's ear has 30 muscles that control the outer ear (by comparison, human ears only have six muscles). These muscles rotate 180 degrees, so the cat can hear in all directions without moving its head.
