So I came across all this l interesting bits of information. I wont tell you where I got them from but if you can guess I will give you a gold star.
Well the idea is, I start of with what I have found and you add.
Did you know:
……….Swimming a quarter of a kilometer is almost equal to running one kilometer.
………..Most newborns cry without tears until they are three to six weeks old.
………..The scales on the underside of a snake are called scutes.
………..The bull frog is the only animal that never sleeps
………..to survive birds must eat at least half their weight in food each day
………..When glass breaks the cracks move faster than 5000km an hour.
……….A camel can shut its nostrils during a desert sandstorm.
………Facial hair is the fastest growing hair in the body.
……….Galieo died in 1642 – the year of Issac Newtons birth
………The bra was invented and patented by Mary Phelps Jacob.
……….Nevada and Canberra are varieties of cauliflower.
So what do you know
The sun is 330,330 times larger than the earth.
A helpfully handy number to memorise for science tests and pub quizzes 🙂
And I'm going to guess didyouknow.org as your source. (Hiding the website title in plain sight… :D)
I know lots of useless facts, but can't always pull them out of my brain on demand! One of the last snippets I absorbed though, was that owls can't move their eyes in their head (that's why they twist their heads all the time).
