Did you Know

Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump.

The body's strongest muscle is our tongue.

Statistically people are more afraid of spiders than they are of dying.

All polar bears are left handed.

Crocodiles cannot stick out their tongue.

Butterflies taste with their feet.

A ducks quack has no echo, and nobody knows why.

It is impossible to sneeze with your eye's open.

Starfish has no brains.

Mosquito have no teeth.

Thomas Edison was afraid of the dark.

The word "cemetery" comes from the Greek "Koimetirion" which means dormitory.

When the English settlers landed in Australia , they noticed a strange animal that jumped extremely high and far.They asked the aboriginal people using body language and signs trying to ask them about the animal. They responded with " KAN GHU RU" the English then adopted the word "Kangaroo". What the aboriginal people were really trying to say was "we don't understand you", "KAN GHU RU".

During historic civil wars, when troops returned without casualties, a writing was put up so all can see which read " 0 Killed ".From here we get the expression "O.K". which means all is good.
