Did
you know........
 
The YKK on your zipper
stands for Yoshida Kogyo Kabushikig
 
DID YOU KNOW 3.14 is
PIE backwards.
 
 
DID YOU KNOW The dot
over over an i is called a tittle:
 
DID YOU KNOW Cashews
grow like this:
Moreover, you can't buy
them in the shell. The shell is poisonous!
 
And pineapples like
this:
 
 
Now let's shrink things
down. Here's what velcro looks like close up:
 
Here's what chalk looks
like under a microscope:
 
And here's what sand
looks like under a microscope:
 
Speaking of sand, there
are more stars in space than
there are grains of
sand on every beach on Earth:
Thanks to Carl Sagan for this knowledge.
 
Speaking of things that
are huge, a Blue Whales heart is
so big, a small child
can swim through the veins:
 
There's enough water in
Lake Superior to cover all
of North and South America in one foot of water:
 
Let's think bigger: If
you dug a hole to the center of the Earth
and dropped a book
down, it would take 45 minutes to reach
the bottom:
 
Here's what Jupiter
would look like if it were the same
distance to Earth as
the Moon:
 
And here's what a
sunset on Mars looks like:
 
DID YOU KNOW There are
more bacteria cells in
your body than actual
body cells:
Anywhere from 2 to 9
pounds of them. We're more bacteria
than we are human!
 
DID YOU KNOW John
Tyler, the 10th President of the United States,
has a grandson that's
alive today:
John Tyler had a son, Lyon, when he was 63.
Lyon had a son, Harrison Tyler, at 75.
 
JUST THINK: We know
more about the surface of the
moon than the bottom of
the ocean:
 
Speaking of the ocean,
there are more atoms in a glass of
water than glasses of
water in all the oceans on Earth.
 
Now let's talk about
time:
 

Speaking of time:
The Ottoman Empire still existed the last
time the Chicago Cubs
won a World Series:
 
Keep this in mind, too:
 
The Great Pyramid was
built circa 2560 BC
 
and Cleopatra lived 69
BC 30 BC
 
and the first Moon
landing was in 1969, AD
 
which means Cleopatra
lived closer to the Moon landing than
she did to the building
of the Great Pyramid.
 
Speaking of the
pyramids, they were as old to the Romans
as the Romans are to
us:
 
Should we keep going?
The difference in time between when
Tyrannosaurus Rex and
Stegosaurus lived is greater than the
difference in time
between Tyrannosaurus Rex and now:
 
Here's one more: In
1903 the Wright Brothers flew for the first time
 
38 years later, in
1941, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor
 
and 28 years later, in
1969, man landed on the Moon.
That's 66 years.
 
Also, did you know that
since Pluto was discovered, it hasn't yet
completed its orbit
around the sun? Will complete in 2178!
