15 Strange But True Facts!!!! by Nobody: 2:29pm On Aug 23, 2014 |
Here are facts you probably didn't know ; 1• The dot over the letter "i" is called a tittle. 2• Because metal was scarce, the Oscars given out during World War II were made of wood. 3• There are no words in the dictionary that rhyme with orange, purple and silver. 4• Astronauts are not allowed to eat beans before they go into space because passing wind in a spacesuit damages them. 5• The very first bomb dropped by the Allies on Berlin in World War II killed the only elephant in the Berlin Zoo. 6• If one places a tiny amount of liquor on a scorpion, it will instantly go mad and sting itself to death. (Who was the sadist who discovered this??) 7• By raising your legs slowly and lying on your back, you cannot sink into quicksand. 8• Charlie Chaplin once won third prize in a Charlie Chaplin look-alike contest. 9• Bats always turn left when exiting a cave! 10• It is impossible to lick your elbow. 11• Do you know that ( 111,111,111 )x( 111,111,111) = (12,345,678,987,654,321) 12• Snakes DON’T EAT PEOPLE! It might sound obvious, but snakes are generally timid and will move away when disturbed by humans. Snakes eat frogs, mice, rats, lizards and birds. Their venom is designed to kill or immobilise prey quickly to avoid the snake sustaining any injuries. 13• Snake Venom is useful! And not just in the creation of antivenom: research into uses for snake venom is ongoing, but its powerful toxins have already found uses in medicine including blood thinning, pain relief, and tumour treatment. 14• Snakes cannot blink or close their eyes. 15• Goats are naturally curious. While they don’t actually eat tin cans and paper, they are often seen chewing odds and ends mainly to find out more about these objects. Behaviorists think goats chew these items to find out more about them and to see if they are edible. source : http://www.fromscratchmag.com/goat-facts-10-things-you-didnt-know-about-goats/ source : www.robinsweb.com/.../ strange _ things . ... |
