Did you know No:6


Well hello everyone this cool and wet Monday afternoon been a busy morning with my aqua class followed by going to the shops for bread, tobacco and wine then before I knew it, it was time to go get Leo from school.

When I got home I notice that my sister had tagged me in a Facebook post and when I check it out this is what I saw.

The famous Russian ballet dancer Vaslav Nijinsky could jump into the air and cross and uncross his legs 10 times before landing..................wow

Only 4% of the energy put out by a light bulb is light the rest is heat

Castor oil is used as a lubricant in jet planes
