Please scroll slowly and read until the end....It only gets better!
A little trivia information "Stewardesses" is the longest word
typed with only the left hand .. And "lollipop" is the longest
word typed with your right hand. (Bet you tried this out mentally,
didn't you?) No word in the English language rhymes with month,
orange, silver, or purple. "Dreamt" is the only English word that
ends in the letters "mt". ? (Are you doubting this?)
Our eyes are always the same size from
birth, but our nose and ears never stop growing.
The sentence: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
uses every letter of the alphabet. (Now, you KNOW you're going to
try this out for accuracy, right?)
The words 'racecar,' 'kayak' and 'level' are the same
whether they are read left to right or right to left (palindromes).
(Yep, I knew you were going to "do" this one.) There are only four
words in the English language which end in "dous": tremendous,
horrendous, stupendous, and hazardous. (You're not doubting this, are
you?) There are three words in the English language that have all
five vowels in order: "abstemious", "education" and "facetious." (Yes,
admit it, you are going to say, a e i o u) TYPEWRITER is the
longest word that can be made using the letters only on one row of the
keyboard. (All you typists are going to test this out) A cat has 32
muscles in each ear. A goldfish has a memory span of three
seconds. (Some days that's about what my memory span is.) A "jiffy"
is an actual unit of time for 1/100th of a second. A shark is the
only fish that can blink with both eyes. A snail can sleep for
three years. (I know some people that could do this too.!) Almonds
are a member of the peach family. An ostrich's eye is bigger than
its brain. (I know some people like that also) Babies are born
without kneecaps. They don't appear until the child reaches 2 to 6
years of age. February 1865 is the only month in recorded history
not to have a full moon. In the last 4,000 years, no new animals
have been domesticated.
If the population of China walked past you, 8 abreast, the
line would never end because of the rate of reproduction.
Leonardo Da Vinci invented the scissors
Peanuts are one of the ingredients of dynamite!
Rubber bands last longer when refrigerated. The average person's left
hand does 56% of the typing. The cruise liner, QE 2, moves only six
inches for each gallon of diesel that it burns. The microwave was
invented after a researcher walked by a radar tube and a chocolate bar
melted in his pocket. (Good thing he did that.) The winter of 1932
was so cold that Niagara Falls froze completely solid. There are
more chickens than people in the world. Good thing I am non-Veg.
Winston Churchill was born in a ladies' room during a dance. Women
blink nearly twice as much as men. Now you
know more than you did before!! The Rain-Thomas Kinkade This is a
Thomas Kinkade painting It's rumored to carry a miracle! They say if
you pass this on, you will receive a miracle. I am passing this on
because I thought it was really pretty, and besides, who couldn't use
a miracle?!
