Did you know……..?
I found these funny facts on a website
If its too long then read the last one!!
1-315 entries in Webster’s 1996 Dictionary were misspelled
2-There are no words in the dictionary that rhyme with orange, purple and silver
3-Ketchup was sold in the 1830s as medicine
4-Donald Duck comics were banned in Finland because he doesn’t wear pants.
5-The very first bomb dropped by the Allies on Berlin in World War II killed the only elephant in the Berlin Zoo
6- A duck’s quack doesn’t echo. No one knows why
7-The human stomach produces a new layer of mucus every two weeks. Without this mucus production, the stomach would digest itself.
8-Beer is made by fermentation which is caused by bacteria feeding on yeast cells and then defecating. Which means it is a nice tall glass of bacteria poop
9-Canada is an Indian word meaning “Big Village
10-The longest place name still in use, which is 85 letters long, is “Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipuka- kapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu” which is a name of a hill in New Zealand
11-Mosquito repellents don’t repel. They hide you. The spray blocks the mosquito’s sensors so they don’t know you’re there
12-The name “Kangaroo” came about when some of the first white settlers saw this strange animal hopping along and they asked the Aborigines what it was called. They replied with “Kanguru”, which in their language means “I don’t know”
I loved the one about the kangaroo
