[Answer] Where on the human body is the philtrum found?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Where on the human body is the philtrum found?"

...To find your philtrum, you'll need to look at your upper lip. The indent just above the upper lip, to be exact. This feature is a vestigial reminder of how our faces came together in the womb. As we develop, the two sides of our face grow at different rates, finally coming together in the center to form the philtrum. When the two sides do not come together correctly, the result is a cleft palate. It is seen in about one out of every 750 births. Called the "Cupid's bow" by the ancient Romans, the feature serves no specific purpose. Source: Reference.com

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Pollex is the medical term for which of these parts of the human body?"

The thumb is the first, most lateral digit on the radial side of the hand, classified by most anatomists as one of the fingers because its metacarpal bone ossifies in the same manner as those of the phalanges. Other anatomists classify the thumb separately, noting that it has a much different articulation with the metacarpal bone and is composed of one metacarpal bone and only two phalanges.

[Answer] On the human body, what is the hallux?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "On the human body, what is the hallux?"

...The hallux is the big toe on the human foot. It's the toe that is much larger and thicker than the other four toes on the human foot. The hallux plays a major role in dynamic and static activities involving the feet. Without a big toe, balance may be off. The human walking gait is best described as an inverted pendulum. Walking is low impact, meaning a heel strike begins the onset of each step. The hallux is instrumental in keeping the foot straight and guiding body weight forward. Source: BreakingMuscle.com

Edison stumbled on one of his greatest inventions–the phonograph–while working on a way to record telephone communication at his laboratory in Menlo Park, New Jersey. His work led him to experiment with a stylus on a tinfoil cylinder, which, to his surprise, played back the words he had recorded, “Mary had a little lamb”. Public demonstrations of the phonograph made the inventor world famous, and he was dubbed the “Wizard of Menlo Park.”

[Answer] What snake is responsible for more human deaths than all other snakes combined?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What snake is responsible for more human deaths than all other snakes combined?"

...The snake that kills the most people each year doesn't have the most potent venom found in the snake population. What it does have is an incredibly bad temper, making it very aggressive. This means it bites early and it bites often. For this reason, scientists believe it is responsible for more deaths yearly than all other snakes combined. The saw-scaled viper's venom is only lethal in less than 10 percent of victims who don't seek treatment. But that bad temper propels it to the top of the most dangerous snake list.

[Ans] What was the first human invention that broke the sound barrier?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What was the first human invention that broke the sound barrier?"

The whip was the first human invention to break the sound barrier. The cracking sound a bullwhip makes when properly wielded is, in fact, a small sonic boom. A sonic boom is the sound associated with the shock waves created by an object traveling through the air faster than the speed of sound. Sonic booms generate enormous amounts of sound energy, sounding much like an explosion. The end of the whip, known as the "cracker", moves faster than the speed of sound, thus creating a sonic boom.

[Answer] According to Plato, which organ in the human body is the biological "seat of dreams?"

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "According to Plato, which organ in the human body is the biological "seat of dreams?""

...Plato did not spend a large portion of his remarkable life discussing dreams because he viewed them more as a structure for symbolism. He regarded dreams as a communication channel through which messages from the gods reached their human targets. Plato thought dreams originate in the region of the belly; the liver, in particular. He described this important organ as the "seat of dreams." He espoused that dreaming could be caused by over-gratification or by frustration experienced in waking life.

[Answer] What is the common term for electromagnetic radiation visible to the naked human eye?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What is the common term for electromagnetic radiation visible to the naked human eye?"

...Electromagnetic energy that is visible to the human eye is commonly called light. It is energy emitted by matter that is in some way excited or when matter is hot. The range of energy we can see is only a very small swath of all the energy ranges in the electromagnetic radiation spectrum. Sometimes this energy behaves as a wave and other times it behaves as a particle. Thus, the science of physics considers it a bit of both. The different colors we see indicate how much energy is in the light, from the reds (low energy) to the blues (high energy.) Source: PhysicsForIdiots.com
