However, psychologist Emma Kenny explains that, if you find yourself feeling annoyed by someone ‘too nice’ who everyone else likes, it might stem from one of two things.

“It could be that you’re very insightful,” she suggests. “So, while everybody else takes an individual at surface level, you may be able to pick out their underlying true colours.

Some people do have problems with toothpaste containing Limonene or/and Linalool. Also contained in some soaps and many other products.

Ingestion of large doses may lead to albuminuria and hematuria. This type of compound irritates all tissues intensely and may cause circulatory collapse.

Scottish obstetrician James Young Simpson and some assistants huffed the chemical chloroform on 04 November, 1847, to see if it had any anaesthetic effect.

When they woke up the next morning, they realised they had found the anaesthetic they were looking for. By pure luck, they had used the correct dosage of the chemical. Any less and the chloroform would not have had an effect. Any more and it might have killed them.
 
In 1953, the Rocket Chemical Company came up with a chemical formulation on the 40th try that was later used by Convair to keep the exterior of the Atlas rocket corrosion-free. Now known as WD-40. Great for very many tasks but may make your home smell like an engineering workshop.

During the Tang dynasty, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang ordered large scale tug of war games which used rope up to 167 metres long and 500 people on each side. Each side of the rope had a set of drummers for the motivation of participants.
