Hello Monday, no school
today but I was still awake at 5.50am as per usual so I am up and
writing a post, still in my nightie as I won't get my swimmers on
till it is time to leave and go to my aqua class this morning.
Anyway being Monday
means it is Did you know day, so here are this weeks useless facts.
The
loudest sound ever recorded from an animal was produced by a Blue
Whale, it is thought that whales can hear each other as far as a
hundred miles apart.
If
you could stack up all the copies of the Guinness Book of World
Records made just in the year 1985, your pile would reach into outer
space, it would be 1,006 miles high, what the hell............
If
we add up all the time we spend blinking, we spend about half an hour
a day or around five years of life with our eyes shut while awake.
Americans
use enough toilet paper in one day to wrap around the world nine
times, if it were on a giant roll they would be unrolling it at the
rate of 7,600 miles per hour, roughly mach 10 or ten times the speed
of sound.
A
supernova is the most energetic single event know in the universe,
material is exploded into space at a speed of about 10,000 kilometres
per second.
That's a lot of toilet paper!
ReplyDeleteNice facts.
Yeah that's what I thought
DeleteMakes me wonder how they figure out some of their facts. ;)
ReplyDeleteI know, I have wondered that
DeleteI think we use that much toilet paper here - and no one can change a roll but me.
ReplyDeleteI am the only one changes the roll here
