<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: transparent;"><b>Credit: Smithsonian's National Zoo</b> <b>Myths</b> and mysteries make the fascinating, but even odd creatures ought to be understood. We explore a few recent findings, common misconceptions and amazing adaptations.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i.livescience.com/images/i/19341/i02/african-lions.jpg" style="background-color: transparent;" /><span style="background-color: transparent;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: transparent;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Parrot Talk More than Just Squawking</span></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: transparent;">Parrot speech is commonly regarded as the brainless squawking of a feathered voice recorder. But studies over the past 30 years continually show that parrots engage in much more than mere mimicry. Our avian friends can solve certain linguistic processing tasks as deftly as 4-6 year-old children. Parrots appear to grasp concepts like "same" and "different", "bigger" and "smaller", "none" and numbers. Perhaps most interestingly, they can combine labels and phrases in novel ways. A January 2007 study in Language Sciences suggests using patterns of parrot speech learning to develop artificial speech skills in robots.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i.livescience.com/images/i/17448/i02/parrot-110621.jpg" style="background-color: transparent;" /><span style="background-color: transparent;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: transparent;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Elephants Do Forget, but They're Not Dumb</span></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: transparent;">Elephants have the largest brain — nearly 11 pounds on average — of any mammal that ever walked the earth. Do they use that gray matter to the fullest? Intelligence is hard to quantify in humans or animals, but the encephalization quotient (EQ), a ratio of an animal's observed brain size to the expected brain size given the animal's mass, correlates well with an ability to navigate novel challenges and obstacles. The average elephant EQ is 1.88. (Humans range from 7.33 to 7.69, chimpanzees average 2.45, pigs 0.27.) Intelligence and memory are thought to go hand in hand, suggesting that elephant memories, while not infallible, are quite good.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i.livescience.com/images/i/12476/i02/elephant-baby-100629-02.jpg" style="background-color: transparent;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: transparent;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Giraffes Compensate for Height with Unique Blood Flow</span></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">The stately giraffe, whose head sits some 16 feet up atop an unlikely pedestal, adapted his long neck to compete for foliage with other grazers. While the advantage of reach is obvious, some difficulties arise at such a height. The heart must pump twice as hard as a cow's to get blood up to the brain, and a complex blood vessel system is needed to ensure that blood doesn't rush to the head when bent over. Six feet below the heart, the skin of the legs must then be extremely tight to prevent blood from pooling at the hooves.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="headgear, ruminants, antlers, horns, deer, sheep, cows, giraffes, " src="http://i.livescience.com/images/i/17791/i02/giraffe_headgear.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: center;">With so many land creatures to wonder at, it's easy to forget that some of the weirdest activities take place deep in the ocean. The strange practice of hermaphroditism is more common among species of fish than within any other group of vertebrates. Some fish change sex in response to hormonal cycle or environmental changes. Others simultaneously possess both male and female sex organs.</div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: transparent;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Baby Chicks and Brotherhood</span></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: transparent;">It's a mistake to think of evolution as producing selfish animals concerned only with their own survival. Altruism abounds in cases where a helping hand will encourage the survival of genetic material similar to one's own. Baby chicks practice this "kin selection" by making a special chirp while feeding. This call announces the food find to nearby chicks, who are probably close relations and so share many of the chick's genes. The key to natural selection isn't survival of the fittest animal. It's survival of the fittest genetic material, and so brotherly behavior that favors close relations will thrive.</span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="null" src="http://i.livescience.com/images/i/2709/i02/081114-chick-and-egg-02.jpg" /> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: transparent;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">For Beavers, Days Get Longer in Winter</span></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: transparent;">Beavers become near shut-ins during winter, living off of previously stored food or the deposits of fat in their distinctive tails. They conserve energy by avoiding the cold outdoors, opting instead to remain in dark lodgings inside their pile of wood and mud. As a result these rodents, which normally emerge at sunset and turn in at sunrise, have no light cues to entrain their sleep cycle. The beaver's biological sense of time shifts, and she develops a "free running circadian rhythm" of 29-hour days.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Not the offending beaver. " src="http://i.livescience.com/images/i/17089/i02/060605_beaver_02.jpg" /> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Birds Use Landmarks to Navigate Long Journeys</span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Can you imagine a road trip vacation without missed exits, stubborn drivers, loss of GPS signal or map-folding disasters? Of course not, you're not a bird. Pigeons can fly thousands of miles to find the same roosting spot with no navigational difficulties. Some species of birds, like the Arctic tern, make a 25,000 mile round-trip journey every year. Many species use built-in ferromagnets to detect their orientation with respect to the Earth's magnetic field. A November 2006 study published in Animal Behaviour suggests that pigeons also use familiar landmarks on the ground below to help find their way home.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="null" src="http://i.livescience.com/images/i/1060/i02/061107_homing_pigeons_02.jpg" /> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Whale Milk Not On Low-Fat Diets</span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Nursing a newborn is no "small" feat for the whale, whose calf emerges, after 10 to 12 months in the womb, about a third the mother's length (that's a 30-foot baby for the Blue whale). The mother squirts milk into the newborn's mouth using muscles around the mammary gland while the baby holds tight to a nipple (yes, whales have them). At nearly 50 percent fat, whale milk has around 10 times the fat content of human milk, which helps calves achieve some serious growth spurts — as much as 200 pounds per day.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i.livescience.com/images/i/16709/i02/FingersandThumb_sperm_whales.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="http://i.livescience.com/images/i/16709/i02/FingersandThumb_sperm_whales.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Crocodiles Swallow Stones for Swimming</span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The stomach of a crocodile is a rocky place to be, for more than one reason. To begin with, a croc's digestive system encounters everything from turtles, fish and birds to giraffes, buffalo, lions and even (when defending territory) other crocodiles. In addition to that bellyful-o'-ecosystem, rocks show up too. The reptiles swallow large stones that stay permanently in their bellies. It's been suggested these are used for ballast in diving.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img alt="A Cuban crocodile." src="http://i.livescience.com/images/i/17461/i02/cuban_croc_by_Steve_Zack.jpg" /></div></div>

</div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><b>You might think the arrow does nothing here. But it says that amazon.com has everything from </b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>a to z and it also represents the smile brought to  </b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>the customer's face. Wow, that is quite deep.</b></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px;"><div style="text-align: left;"> <img alt="FedEx" border="0" height="250" hspace="6" src="http://www.funonthenet.in/images/stories/forwards/company%20logos/fedex.png" title="FedEx" width="500" /></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Am not sure how many of you have noticed a hidden symbol in the Federal Express logo.</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Yeah, I am talking about the 'arrow' that you can see between the E and the x in this logo. </b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>The arrow was introduced to underscore speed and precision, which are part of the positioning </b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>of the company.</b></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><img alt="Baskin Robins" border="0" height="250" hspace="6" src="http://www.funonthenet.in/images/stories/forwards/company%20logos/baskin-robbins.png" title="Baskin Robins" width="500" /></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px;"><div style="text-align: left;"> <b>The old logo of Baskin Robbins had the number 31 with an arc above it. </b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>The new logo took this idea to the next level. The pink parts of the BR still form the number 31, </b><br />
<b>a reference</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b> to the 31 flavours.</b></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

They also added the first letter</b><br />
<b> of the name,  </b><b style="background-color: white;">because </b><b style="background-color: white;">if you look closely youll see the letter C in the negative space</b><br />
<b style="background-color: white;"> between the two arrows.</b></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px;"><div style="text-align: left;"> <img alt="Formula 1" border="0" height="250" hspace="6" src="http://www.funonthenet.in/images/stories/forwards/company%20logos/formula-1.png" title="Formula 1" width="500" /></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px;"><div style="text-align: left;"> <b>At first, this logo might not make much sense.

<b> number </b><b style="background-color: white;">1 in the negative </b><b style="background-color: white;">space between the F and the red stripes. I also love how </b><br />
<b style="background-color: white;">this logo communicates a feeling of speed.</b></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><img alt="NBC" border="0" height="250" hspace="6" src="http://www.funonthenet.in/images/stories/forwards/company%20logos/nbc.png" title="NBC" width="500" /></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><b> The NBC (National Broadcasting Company) is one of the biggest American television </b><br />
<b>networks. </b><b style="background-color: white;">I think most of you have already seen the peacock in this logo. The </b><br />
<b style="background-color: white;">peacock has 6 different </b><b style="background-color: white;"> tail feathers, referring to the six divisions at the time that </b><br />
<b style="background-color: white;">this logo was created. The peacocks </b><b style="background-color: white;"> head is flipped to the right to suggest it was</b><br />
<b style="background-color: white;"> looking forward, not back.</b></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><img alt="Sony Vaio" border="0" height="250" hspace="6" src="http://www.funonthenet.in/images/stories/forwards/company%20logos/sony-vaio.png" title="Sony Vaio" width="500" /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Sony Vaio is a well known brand of laptops. But did you know that the name Vaio logo</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b> also had a hidden meaning? Well, the first two letters represent the basic analogue signal. </b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>The last two letters look like a 1 and 0, representing the digital signal.</b></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><img alt="Toblerone" border="0" height="250" hspace="6" src="http://www.funonthenet.in/images/stories/forwards/company%20logos/toblerone.png" title="Toblerone" width="500" /> </div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Toblerone is a chocolate-company from Bern , Switzerland . Bern is sometimes called </b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>The City Of Bears. They have incorporated this idea in the Toblerone logo, because if</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b> you look closely, youll see the silhouette of a bear.</b></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><img alt="Unilever" border="0" height="250" hspace="6" src="http://www.funonthenet.in/images/stories/forwards/company%20logos/unilever.png" title="Unilever" width="500" /></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Unilever is one of the biggest producers of food, beverages, cleaning agents and personal </b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>care products. They produce a huge amount of different products and they wanted to </b><br />
<b>reflect </b><b style="background-color: white;">this in their logo. Each part of the logo has a meaning. For example: the heart</b><br />
<b style="background-color: white;"> represents love, care  </b><b style="background-color: white;">and health - feeling good, a bird is a symbol of freedom. Relief</b><br />
<b style="background-color: white;"> from daily chores “ getting more out of life.</b></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><img alt="IBM" height="270" src="http://img329.imageshack.us/img329/3218/logoibmdf4.jpg" width="450" /></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Paul Rand (who designed the iconic IBM logo in 1972) designed this 'eye bee M' logo in 1981.</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b> I like that they are quite relaxed about the logo, unlike certain other companies who do not like</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b> the logo to be tampered with in any way even for internal promotions</b></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><img alt="SUN" height="140" src="http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/1859/logosummicrosoftyg4.jpg" width="250" /></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><b>The SUN Microsystems logo is a wonderful example of symmetry and order.</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b> It was a brilliant observation that the letters u and n while arranged adjacent to</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b> each other look a lot like the letter S in a perpendicular direction. Spectacular.</b></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px;"><div style="text-align: left;"> <img alt="Families Marriage" height="360" src="http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/7581/logomarriageoy3.jpg" width="450" /></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><b>The above are two magazines from the Readers Digest stable. Again, the attempt to</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b> communicate what it is about quite figuratively through the logo catches my attention.</b></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><img alt="Cluenatic" height="232" src="http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/7137/logocluenaticzz0.jpg" width="376" /></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><b>This was a logo created for a puzzle game called Cluenatic.

<b> unravelling four clues. </b><b style="background-color: white;">The logo has the letters C, L, U and E arranged as a maze.</b><br />
<b style="background-color: white;"> and from a distance, </b><b style="background-color: white;"> the logo looks like a key</b></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><img alt="Eighty20" height="250" src="http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/8828/logoeighty20pp6.jpg" width="450" /></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Eighty-20 is a small consulting company which does sophisticated financial modeling, as well </b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>as some solid database work.

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>People first guess that 20% of the squares are darkened, but that turns out</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b> to be false after counting them.
