You should know that your mother absolutely loves random bits of knowledge. As if the wonderful and extensive and quite vast array of knowledge that the world or books gives me wasn't already delicious enough ......I'm blessed to have the wonderful world of weird and wacky and some may say useless trivia. I have to confess I don't believe ANY knowledge is useless. Goodness no! So I wanted to share some of my favorite tidbits with you....
- Bananas are herbs - Although referred to as banana trees, they are not trees at all but a perennial herb. Its trunk is not a true one, but many leaves tightly wrapped around a single stem which emerges at the top as the fruit-bearing flower stalk.
- Dr. Seuss actually pronounced Seuss such that it sounded like Sue-ice.
- Leonardo da Vinci could write with one hand draw with the other at the same time.
- By raising your legs slowly and lying on your back, you can't sink in quicksand. One should carry a stout pole while traveling in quicksand country...when placed under one's back, it helps one to float out of the quicksand.
- Laser is actually an acronym for "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emissions of Radiation."
- There are enough blood vessels in your body to wrap around the Earth almost three times.
- Lightning is three times hotter than the surface of the sun.
- If you unfolded your brain it would cover an entire ironing board.
- The average four year old asks 437 questions a day!( WOW! I can't wait to answer them or look for the answer to all of them.)
- Laughing lowers levels of stress hormones and strengthens the immune system. Six-year-olds laugh an average of 300 times a day. Adults only laugh 15 to 100 times a day. (So we will always make each other laugh mami, so we will both be healthy, beautiful women!)
- If the normal one hundred thousand hairs on a head were woven into a rope, it could support a weight of more than twelve tons. (It's a good thing to know in case we ever need to build a bridge .... huh?)
