Here are some tidbits of info that you may or may

not know. I thought some of them were very

interesting.



'Stewardesses' is the longest word typed with only

the left hand .



And 'lollipop' is the longest word typed with your

right hand. (Bet you tried this out mentally,

didn't you?)



No word in the English language rhymes with month,

orange, silver, or purple.



'Dreamt' is the only English word that ends in the

letters 'mt'.? (Are you doubting this?)



Our eyes are always the same size from birth, but

our nose and ears never stop growing.



The sentence: 'The quick brown fox jumps over the

lazy dog' uses every letter of the alphabet.

(Now, you KNOW you're going to try this out for

accuracy, right?)



The words 'racecar,' 'kayak' and 'level' are the

same whether they are read left to right or right

to left (palindromes). (Yep, I knew you were

going to 'do' this one.)



There are only four words in the English language

which end in 'dous': tremendous, horrendous,

stupendous, and hazardous. (You're not doubting

this, are you?)



There are two words in the English language that

have all five vowels in order: 'abstemious' and

'facetious.' (Yes, admit it, you are going to say,

a e i o u)



TYPEWRITER is the longest word that can be

made using the letters only on one row of the

keyboard. (All you typists are going to test

this out)



A cat has 32 muscles in each ear.



A goldfish has a memory span of three seconds.

(Some days that's about what my memory span is.)



A 'jiffy' is an actual unit of time for 1/100th of

a second.



A shark is the only fish that can blink with both

eyes.



A snail can sleep for three years. (I know some

people that could do this too.!)



Almonds are a member of the peach family.



An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.
(I know some people like that also)



Babies are born without kneecaps. They don't

appear until the child reaches 2 to 6 years of

age.



February 1865 is the only month in recorded

history not to have a full moon.



In the last 4,000 years, no new animals have been

domesticated.




If the population of China walked past you, 8

abreast, the line would never end because of the

rate of reproduction.



Leonardo Da Vinci invented the scissors



Peanuts are one of the ingredients of dynamite!



Rubber bands last longer when refrigerated.



The average person's left hand does 56% of the

typing.



The cruise liner, QE 2, moves only six inches for

each gallon of diesel that it burns.



The microwave was invented after a researcher

walked by a radar tube and a chocolate bar melted

in his pocket. (Good thing he did that.)



The winter of 1932 was so cold that Niagara Falls

froze completely solid.



There are more chickens than people in the world.



Winston Churchill was born in a ladies' room

during a dance.



Women blink nearly twice as much as men.



Now you know more than you did before!!

Being a Leader isn't about ability, it's about responsibility. You are not just responsible for making good decisions. You have to be responsible for the bad ones. You got to be able to make the shitty call.

My blade is made of a dark silver
I hit it on you makinga blood river
My armour is shiny and orange
No one can get me from that range

My crossbow cannot shoot through dark purpple
But it can easily go through an apple

Rhyme = Correspondence of terminal sounds of words or of lines of verse.

wink.gif Say 'Silver' and 'River' over and over dead fast. Now say behold and cold over and over. See the difference? Silver and River end the same but they don't sound the same thats the difference.
