Now that’s crazy, right? Well, if you can’t get enough of crazy when it comes to kissing, here are 14 facts on snogging that will leave your mind blown!

1. Kissing Is An Immunity Booster

A study conducted by the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research has proved that kissing can boost your immunity (3). According to the study, when you kiss, you exchange 80 million bacteria, which serve as a natural way of vaccination!

2. The Longest Recorded Kiss Was Over 58 Hours

That’s right! The Guinness World Record holders for the longest kiss are a Thai couple, Laksana Tiranarat and Ekkachai, who won $9,000 for kissing continuously for 58 hours, 35 minutes and 58 seconds to be precise (4)!

3. Kissing Is Good For Your Dental Health

According to Dr. Sivan Finkel of the Dental Parlour in New York City, the increased amount of saliva can improve your dental health. The increased saliva production reduces the acidity in your oral environment, thereby preventing tooth decay. At least as long as whom your kissing maintains proper oral hygiene!

4. The First Kiss In A Movie Was In 1896

The name of the movie was The Kiss, a black and white flick that was the reenactment of the stage drama The Widow Jones. In those times, kissing was not taken to kindly and the 23-second long scene from the movie was censored due to its lack of morals!

5. Kissing Makes You Feel Good

Quite literally as kissing releases feel-good hormones! When two people kiss, hormones known as ‘oxytocin’ and ‘dopamine’ are released by your body, which makes you feel good (5). Oxytocin is the bonding hormone, which establishes intimacy, while dopamine helps in the experiencing of pleasure.

6. Kissing Makes Men Live Longer

And even increases their income! According to a German study, men who kissed their partners at least once every day lived 5 years longer in comparison to those who didn’t (6)! Besides, they even missed work less due to better immunity, which lead to 20-30% increased earnings every month!

7. Keeping Keeps Blood Pressure And Cholesterol In Check

Kissing passionately influences your heartbeat in a good way, thereby reducing blood pressure, according to Andréa Demirjian, author of Kissing: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about One of Life’s Sweetest Pleasures (7). Studies have also shown that kissing lowers the production of the stress hormone ‘cortisol,’ which consequently lowers bad cholesterol (8). READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

8. You Know How To Kiss Before Being Born

As bizarre as that may sound, it’s true! When you kiss, you have the tendency to tilt your heard towards the right or left. Your preferred direction is developed when you’re in the womb, says German researcher, Onur Güntürkün (9). Tilting right is more common though!

9. Kissing Helps You Find Your Soulmate

Helen Fisher, the lead researcher of a recent study and biological anthropologist from the Rutgers University, analyzed the data of 40,000 people on Chemistry.com, a dating website to come to this conclusion. She found out the hormones present in the saliva can help people determine whether the person will be a good mate.

10. Kissing Requires Use Of Muscles

Not only does kissing help you burn around 26 calories but it also exercises your facial muscles! According to the American Journal of Medicine, when you kiss you use up to 112 postural muscles and 30 facial muscles (10). This is probably the most delightful way to get rid of fatty cheeks and wrinkles (11)!

11. Kissing Reduces Stress

When you kiss more, you stress less. That’s what a 2009 study has to say (12)! 52 people took part in this study. One half was asked to kiss more and for longer, while the other was not given any instructions. After 6 weeks of trial, it was proven that those who kissed more had lower stress levels.

12. PDA Can’t Get You Arrested

Yes, contrary to popular belief, kissing in public in India is not a punishable offence (13)! Especially if you’re married. So, shun those reservations and kiss away!

13. Philemaphobia Or The Fear Of Kissing

Although it’s hard to believe anyone would be afraid of kissing, nonetheless the fear of kissing is known as ‘philemaphobia.’ And it is surprisingly common among inexperienced kissers!

14. Kissing Originated Centuries Ago

Although French kissing was popularized during the First World War, kissing traces its roots way back (14). Centuries ago, kissing didn’t exist. What did was sniffing of the face and it was used as a way to determine an individual’s health, mood, and social status. Gradually, sniffing evolved into kissing when people started brushing their lips against another’s face (15).

Racist Cops Handcuff Black Female General, Her Call to Pentagon Destroyed Their Careers –

Published

The handcuffs clicked shut with a sound like a gunshot in the quiet street.

“You’re resisting arrest,” the cop snarled, twisting the Black woman’s arm behind her back.

Bystanders gasped as she was forced onto the hood of the cruiser, her military-sharp posture never faltering.

Then, in a voice like steel, she said, “You have no idea who you just handcuffed. But in 20 minutes, these two officers would beg for their careers back.”

And in an hour, the Pentagon would make sure they never wore a badge again.

General Naomi Carter was used to command, not compliance.

A decorated war strategist, she had just returned from a classified overseas mission and was on her way to debrief at the Pentagon when she stopped for coffee…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

She had spent her life fighting battles—just not the kind where the enemy wore a blue uniform.

The cops had been watching her since she stepped out of her car.

“Suspicious vehicle,” one muttered, eyeing her luxury sedan.

When she questioned their unnecessary stop, they escalated.

“You fit a description.”

Then came the cuffs, the shove, the condescending smirk.

That’s when Naomi stopped being just a citizen.

“Let me make a call,” she demanded.

The taller cop laughed. “You ain’t calling nobody.”

But Naomi had memorized emergency protocols better than they’d memorized their own badges.

With her hands restrained, she recited a series of numbers to a horrified bystander. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

“Dial it now.”

The phone rang twice before a voice answered: “Pentagon secure line.”

The cops froze. Then came the words that turned their blood to ice.

“This is General Carter. Badge numbers 4,872 and 5,193 just detained me unlawfully. I need immediate confirmation of their authority.”

For the first time, doubt flickered in the officer’s eyes.

The dispatcher’s radio erupted with panic.

“All units, stand down. Stand down.”

Backup arrived, but not for them.

The chief’s voice cracked over the comms. “You just cuffed a Pentagon-level officer. God help you.”

Naomi stood straight as her cuffs were removed.

The cops stammered apologies, but she simply picked up the phone.

“Secretary, I want their records audited. Every stop. Every complaint.”

Then to the officers: “You targeted the wrong woman today.”

By sundown, the officers were suspended. By week’s end, charged.

And as Naomi walked into the Pentagon the next morning, the news played footage of their perp walk.

Proof that even generals in street clothes outrank prejudice.

One of death row’s oldest inmates gave scathing final words before execution by lethal injection –

Published

By

 

Oscar Franklin Smith, a 75-year-old man who had been on death row for decades, was executed in Tennessee by lethal injection. He was found guilty of murdering his wife, Judith Robirds Smith, and her two teenage sons, Chad and Jason Burnett, back in 1989.

But even as he was about to die, Oscar kept saying he didn’t do it. He claimed he was innocent, and he never changed his story in all the years he spent in prison. Just before the execution, he spoke out strongly, criticizing the justice system and the governor of Tennessee, Bill Lee.

He said the system is broken and doesn’t always get it right. He believed that not only was he innocent, but that there are other men like him still sitting in prison, waiting to die for crimes they didn’t commit. He said the governor is foolish if he doesn’t see that. Oscar’s last words included the phrase “I didn’t kill her,” which he reportedly said several times before he died. He was declared dead at 10:47 a.m…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

Oscar had been given a temporary delay in 2022, when the governor called off the execution at the last minute. But that decision was reversed later, and the execution went ahead. Even though he had lived over three decades after the crime while maintaining his innocence, the courts and the state stood by the original conviction.

After Oscar’s death, the family of the victims spoke to reporters. Judith’s sister, Terri Osborne, said losing her sister and two nephews had left a permanent wound. She said the pain of that loss will always stay with their family. No matter how much time passes, it still hurts deeply.

Terri also used the moment to talk about the issue of domestic violence. She said the murders are a tragic reminder of what can happen in abusive relationships. She wanted people who are in danger at home to know that they are not alone. She understood how hard it is to leave someone who is abusive, but she hoped this tragedy would push others to find safety and support. She also said she hopes more help and resources can be made available to people who are living in fear or dealing with abuse.

Her brother, Mike Robirds, also spoke. He said that no one should have to live the way their sister did — in fear. And no family should have to go through the heartbreak that they have endured. Their words were full of sadness, but also a message of hope for others who might still be suffering in silence.

People in shock after hearing bizarre leaked audio from Trump’s new head of Social Security reacting to job offer –

Published

on

By

 

Frank Bisignano, a former executive from Wall Street, has just taken on a major role leading the Social Security Administration—a huge federal agency that handles benefits for over 70 million Americans. But it turns out he was just as surprised by the job offer as everyone else.

In a meeting with Social Security managers from across the country, held on May 21, Bisignano openly admitted that he hadn’t been looking for a new job and had no idea he was being considered for such a major government role. A recording of this meeting was leaked, and it’s left a lot of people both amused and concerned.

In the audio, Bisignano talks about how he got a phone call out of the blue about the Social Security job. He said he wasn’t job hunting at all, and once he heard about the position, he had to start Googling to figure out what exactly the commissioner of Social Security does. He even joked that he’s one of the best Googlers on the East Coast. At one point, he said something like, “What the heck is the commissioner of Social Security?” showing just how unexpected the appointment was for him…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Ironically, during that same meeting, he complained about people leaking information to the media—while the very meeting itself ended up getting leaked. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Despite the jokes and the lighthearted way he presented himself, many people online didn’t take it well. On social media, some users mocked him for appearing clueless about the job and accused the Trump administration of giving important positions to people who aren’t qualified. One person sarcastically said he must be relying on the “fake it till you make it” approach. Another commented that having actual experience seems to be a disqualifier when it comes to getting hired in the Trump team.

Others, however, defended Bisignano. Some argued that you don’t need a PhD or deep government experience to run the Social Security Administration. Instead, they pointed out that what the agency really needs is someone with real leadership experience—someone who knows how to run big organizations and get results. They said Bisignano fits that bill, having led billion-dollar companies and managed large teams.

All in all, Bisignano’s surprise and honesty about not knowing much about the job have drawn mixed reactions. While some people think it’s refreshing or even funny, others are worried that such an important agency is being led by someone who admits he had to Google what the job even is.
