Today, I've learned so many new random facts and I thought I should share them with all of you.
Giraffes travel in towers. [This makes me smile because I feel this is definitely appropriate. Giraffes are pretty much towers].
The word "nerd" was first coined by Dr. Seuss in "If I Ran the Zoo." [I owe a lot to Dr. Seuss. He's the reason I have friends. haha. He paved my childhood and he gave the term to my way of life].
The human heart creates enough pressure to squirt blood 30 ft. [I can just picture people using their hearts as guns, like *pew, pew, pew* YOU'RE DEAD! Except you're not . . .because you're covered in blood. Nevermind . . .]
The tip of the shoe lace is called the aglet. [I had no idea they even had a name. I just referred to them as the shoe lace holders for when I tie my shoes or the plastic at the end.
It is physically impossible for a pig to lift it's head up toward the sky. [This one made me really sad for piggies. I need to lift a few up to see the beautiful creations God has made].
When you snap your fingers, the sound is created from your middle finger hitting your palm and not your thumb rubbing against your index finger. [I tested this one. It checks out. But it makes me wonder how some people cannot snap if it's the middle finger to palm?]
The electric chair was invented by a dentist. [I knew the dentist was out to get me. Just couldn't be satisfied with my teeth. RUDE].
Mosquitoes are more attracted to people who just ate bananas. [I love bananas. I hate mosquitos. This poses a problem].
Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is the fear of long words. [If this is the word for the fear of long words it must have been created by one who doesn't. But I don't understand how someone can be afraid of words. I LOVE WORDS!]
Until President Kennedy was assasinated, it wasn't illegal to assasinate the president. [Wait. President Lincoln was assassinated WAAAAY before President Kennedy. How did this go so long without being addressed? But then again, I think they probably thought it was common sense that you shouldn't assassinate the president. Jeez].
"Mountain Dew" is an old slang term for moonshine. [I wonder if maybe there was originally moonshine in the first attempts at Mountain Dew].
The Statue of Liberty wears a size 879 sandal. [And I thought my size ten was pretty big].
I've also decided that every so often I'm going to be releasing tweets entitled #nowyouknow and with this I will be informing my followers of random, interesting facts. Keep a look out for that @supersharayah
