m.pngI am starting a series of posts presenting some curious facts about our world. Things you might already know or you might never thought of. It is very nice to learn something new everyday despite of it being useful or not. I collect the facts from all over the internet and books I've read. Hope you enjoy the first part. And stay tuned for my next posts including some interesting facts.

  • The cockroaches can live for 10 days without a head before they die of starvation.

  • Snails can sleep for three years.

  • American Airlines saved $ 40,000 in 1987 by putting one olive oil less in salads served in the first class.

  • The ostrich eye is bigger than its brain.

  • Babies are born without knee caps. They develop after the child's second year.

  • When hitting your head in the wall 150 calories per hour are consumed.

  • The butterflies taste with their feet.

  • The comics with Donald Duck were forbidden in Finland because he does not wear pants.

  • People and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure.

  • If Barbie was real in size, her measures would have been 39-23-33. She would be 2.20 meters high and her neck would be
    twice as long as the human's.

  • If you hold a goldfish in a dark room she will become white.

  • Leonardo Da Vinci invented the scissors.

Your post is interesting.. I come up with really??? thing on my mind as I read those stuff.. the facts about cockroach and snails is so surprising and amazing. thanks for the information and I learn from it. More facts and God bless you.

Happy to know you've enjoyed my post. Stay tuned for more. :)

Sure I will..

Thank you river-island this is a really good idea. Learning something new every day is a must! You have to be receptive first... I've been around too long as I've heard of some of these but the one about cockroaches was very useful. I absoultely hate the things. Fortunately I no longer live in the climes that produce them more frequently. I can't imagine wanting a poor little pretty goldfish to turn white, and had no idea that the wonderful Mr Da Vinci invented one of the things I use in my work - scissors. Great stuff. Following you to learn more.
