Well here I am on
Monday afternoon doing a quick post a did you know
post..................................
As
a promotional stunt at a baseball game in 1939, catcher Joe Sprinz
tried to catch a baseball dropped from 1,200 feet in the air. He said
he could see the ball all the way down, but somehow instead of
catching it in his glove,it him in the face, cracking his jaw in 12
places.
Why
do cats turn around and around before lying down, some say its an
instinct left over from the days when they slept in tall grass, the
turning action pushed the grass down into a nest.
When
a gas pipeline crossing the California desert springs a leak the gas
companies have an ingenious way of finding out where it is. A
chemical is put into the gas that arouses the mating instinct in
vultures. The birds congregate around the area so look for the
vultures and you find the leak.
Fishing
is the biggest participant sport in the world
I knew two and four, but the others were new to me. :)
ReplyDeleteI had heard about number four as well but not the others
DeleteThat's really interesting about fishing! I never knew that!

I knew of only one of these facts
DeleteI didn't know any of these. I especially like the one about vultures, although they are such ugly creatures.
ReplyDeleteLove,

Yeah I had heard about that one too
DeleteI'd probably crack my jaw just trying to catch an underhanded throw. I am NOT good at baseball.
ReplyDeleteAlso, my dog does those circles... is he secretly a cat?
Shoot, mine wakes up at 2AM and wants under the covers... I don't have a good answer for what that makes HIM...
DeleteMy dog DC DC would do that as well, I struggle to catch a ball any ball
DeleteI knew something bad was coming about the baseball. OUCH! Hope you are feeling better!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah what a silly thing to try and do
DeleteYou had me stumped this week, I did not know even one of those facts.
ReplyDeleteAnd now you do
DeleteThanks
