I do not think you can name many great inventions that have been made by married men.

More Amazingly Fun Facts


April 11, 1954 was dubbed the most boring day in history – nothing of any importance happened on that day. (Which makes it rather unusual.)

Winston Howes, a farmer in South Gloucestershire, England, planted thousands of oak trees to create a heart-shaped clearing as a tribute to his deceased wife Janet.

Fingers prune in water to give you a better grip. Just another clever evolutionary trick.

If you eat polar bear liver you might die – and rather horribly, too, with the skin peeling off your body. The reason for that is too much vitamin A – humans just can’t handle that much.

A single testicle of a blue whale can weigh between 99 to 150 pounds.

Ancient Romans used to boil vinegar with goat muck, the result was an energy drink favored by charioteers.

A flea can jump a distance that is 350 times longer than its own length.

Translated into human terms, it would mean that a man would be able to jump over 3 airplanes parked side by side.

If you’ve ever wondered what to call the phenomena when three astronomical bodies line up, it is "syzygy".

Lions do it pretty often. Sometimes up to 40 times a day.

Giraffes have the same number of teeth as humans.

Quite a few lip balms contain salicylic acid, a substance that causes your lips to peel – which is in turn causing you to go and buy more lip balm.

The camel protects his eyes against the ever-present sand with three eyelids.

The first plant to have flowered and produced seeds in space was Arabidopsis, grown in 1982 by the crew of the Soviet Salyut 7.

Do you know the difference between poisonous and venomous snakes? It is surprisingly simple. If you bite the snake and you die, the snake was poisonous. If the snake bites you and you die, the snake was venomous. Enjoy.

An interesting simile of why pearls are the best gifts for the angry girlfriend – oysters actually make pearls to get rid of a nagging pain. When a parasite or a grain of sand or debris gets inside their shell and causes their soft bodies discomfort, they coat it with multiple layers of “nacre”. Eventually, a beautiful pearl is born.

The Alaskan Wood Frog spends the harsh Alaskan winter frozen solid – with no heartbeat and no breathing. When the thawing rays of the sun arrive with the spring, it simply unfreezes and hops off on its way.

In 2005, a Swedish millionaire Johan Eliasch bought 400,000 acres (1,600 km2) of Amazonian forest near the Madeira River from a logging company for 14 million dollars with the sole purpose to preserve it.

No dinosaur has ever killed a human being.

Leonardo Da Vinci was a vegetarian and was known to buy caged birds simply to let them free. He was also questioning man’s superiority over animals and his right to raise them for slaughter – this attitude was unheard of in his time.

Considering the work and processes our bodies are constantly doing, they are remarkably quiet.

In Russia, there are 44 “closed cities” (“closed administrative-territorial formations”) where no foreigners are allowed. The total population of these towns amounts to 1.5 million; they are administered either by the Ministry of Defense (75%), or the Russian Federal Atomic Energy Agency.

The human eye can pick out over 10 million colors.

The highest doctor per patients ratio (least patients per doctor) is in Cuba.

Steve Jobs’ father was a Syrian immigrant.

It is illegal to step on money in Thailand, because you’d be insulting the king by stepping on his picture.

Joe, please keep the rain by you! I had to walk in the rain this morning but thankfully it stopped the rest of the day. I just popped home for a shower and now I'm heading out for my last clients. Three more days of hell week....LOL

Have a happy day all!

Congratulations on your rain, Joe. woot Hope Beau and Missy get to go out next time, though. grin

Sorry about your upcoming days of hell, Ana. lol Hope they pass quickly, and that you're enjoying your clients in spite of it all.

It's Tuesday night, and I'm off to sleep. Our internet was checked today, but the guy couldn't find anything wrong with it. He did say that others in the apartment complex had reported outages recently, so at least I know it's not just here, and that it's not our equipment. I just have to hope it stays on, I suppose.

Tomorrow's another long work day for me. Two days to go until my 3 day weekend. grin

Have a terrific Wednesday, everyone. spring

Wonderful Wednesday ya'll puppy

We had fun last night. Just before we went to bed, son went to swap his laundry. He opened the door to the our front loading washer, and bloosh...water everywhere. He shut the door, but there was a shirt caught in it, so water kept pouring out. The door locked when he shut it, so we couldn't open it and move the shirt. eek

Eventually, we got the door open, shirt tossed back in, and door shut again to stop the deluge. Then we had a flood to dry up. Wheeee!

Repair guy coming later today. First I have a vet appointment, so busy day.

Back later wavegirl

Wow L4L! What a fun happening with the washer. I can just see you guys trying to outsmart that washer. My Dad's quick fix for everything electrical was to UNPLUG it. Usually that worked. He was an electronics engineer on our early Space exploration team. I figure if a guy can send up rockets, he sure can outsmart a home electrical problem.

My best friend bought one of the 'new' washers that LOCK when running and she hated it so much she returned it. If my 'old' washer ever dies, I'm going to look for another old one that doesn't tell ME what to do. Even mine is now 'fixed' to let me open the lid while the clothes are spinning. I'm an adult, I think I can handle it. Now all I need to do is find out how to stop the 'timer' on my microwave. I set the timer and can't cancel it, no matter what I do. Have to let it run down on its own. Can't add minutes, nothing. Very annoying. I guess I'll have to get out the instruction book. think rotfl


WARNING! This person is extremely blonde...please type SLOWLY.

Yea, Sorta, I did unplug it, which is what I think locked it rotfl It was fun. Still waiting on the repair guy. Hoping he has the part to fix it.

I know what you are saying...reading the manual is the last recourse. That stuff should be intuitive. wave
