fakta menarik #1

tau tak, yang dua orang manusia takkan hidu bau yang sama dengan cara yang sama. dalam erti kata yang lain, bunga mawar mungkin bau lebih sweet pada sesetengah orang tapi, tidak pada orang lain.

menurut pakar neuropsikologi, Robert Bonkowski, seseorang tu takkan menghidu satu bau dengan cara yang sama dua kali. tambahnya lagi, keupayaan individu untuk mengesan bau berubah dari sehari ke sehari, bergantung kepada keadaan fisiologik individu tersebut.

menarik kan!!
