Hello world, hello
Monday, been a busy morning for me I had a sleep in so didn't get out
of bed till 8am I than got dressed and went to my aqua class after
that I came home changed my clothes and went to the doctors to get a
couple of scripts. Now I am home for the day, don't have to worry
about Leo as there is no school for two weeks. When I asked him on
Friday if he was looking forward to the holidays he said yes but then
asked how long are the holidays when I said two weeks he growled and
said ok. He does like going to school.
So here are this weeks
five did you know facts.

Pigs
don't sweat, so they saying “sweating like a pig” is wrong
Before
testing the first atomic bomb in the New Mexico desert on the 16th
July 1945, some of the scientists working on the bomb calculated that
there was a three in a million chance that an atomic bomb might melt
down the entire Earth. They went ahead with the test anyway.
Polar
Bears camouflage themselves by covering their black noses with their
paws, not sure if I believe that or not,
Putting
your two fingers up as an insult dates back to the Middle Ages when
archers were caught by their enemies they had two fingers cut off so
they could no longer fire any more arrows. So when an archer was
shooting people he would put his two fingers up to say “Look I
still have them” of course we now put up one finger and it has a
different meaning.
I never heard about the archers getting their fingers cut off but I suppose that makes sense. Creepy though.
ReplyDeleteInteresting Jo-Anne, a bit barbaric back in the middle ages..
