Brain stimulation

Happy February!

Well, recently we've been enjoying days of work, eat, and sleep, with the random adventure of skiing. Things are starting to slow down at work since school will finish in a month. So, to keep everyone (including myself) entertained, I've found some interesting facts that left me scratching my head. Hope you enjoy.

No piece of paper can be folded in half more than 7 times.

You burn more calories sleeping than you do watching television. (Yes! Getting healthy just got easier)

American Airlines saved $40,000 in 1987 by eliminating 1 olive from each salad served in first-class. (Maybe they should give that olive to coach.)

Apples, not caffeine, are more efficient at waking you up in the morning.

The plastic things on the end of shoelaces are called aglets.

Pearls melt in vinegar.

Thirty-five percent of the people who use personal ads for dating are already married. (ouch!)

It is possible to lead a cow upstairs...but not downstairs.

A duck's quack doesn't echo

Turtles can breathe through their butts. (hee hee... butts!)

Elephants are the only animals that can't jump.

No word in the English language rhymes with 'MONTH.'

All polar bears are left handed.

A crocodile cannot stick its tongue out. (WHy would you research that?)

The cigarette lighter was invented before the match.

Are you still trying to find a rhyming word for 'month?'
