Hello everyone here I
am on a cold Monday afternoon getting around to writing a post and I
have some good news both my parents have been discharged from
hospital, this is such good news for all of us.
So this Monday I am
doing Did You Know Monday again, so here are this weeks facts that
you may or may not already know.
Although
the Angel Falls are much taller than the Niagara Falls, Niagara Falls
are much wider which may be why they both pour about the dame amount
of water over their edges about 2.8 billion litres every second.
The
best cure for hiccups is breathing into a paper bag, this calms our
diaphragm by increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in your
bloodstream.
We
have four tastes, the salt and sweet taste buds are at the tip of the
tongue, bitter is at the base and sour is along the sides.
Argon
is used to f ill the space in most light bulbs, neon is used in
fluorescent signs. Fluorescent lights are filled with mercury gas.
Popeye
originally got his strength from garlic not spinach
I do get hiccups once in a while, and I hope I will remember to try breathing into a plastic bag. Thanks for the information.
