Hello everyone, here I
am on a cold and wet Monday morning I am feeling stuffed up in the
head and I am blowing my nose so much it feels like I am going to
blow it off my face. This morning Leo noticed it was raining and got
all excited raining around yelling “it's raining” before going up
to see Tasha, granted we have not had rain in a month.
Anyway here is this
weeks five did you know facts.
Nights
in the tropics are warm because moist air retains heat well, in the
desert the nights cold rapidly because dry air does not hold heat to
the same degree.
A
computer with the job of issuing traffic citations made a mistake in
September 1989 and sent notices to 41,000 residents of Paris, France
informing them that they were charged with murder.
Steel
is flammable which is why if you took a match to steel wool it
would burst into flames and become very hot. When steel rusts it is
the same process as burning, both burning and rust occur when the
iron in steel reacts with oxygen from the air.
You
drink about 75,000 litres or 20,000 gallons of water in your
lifetime.
In
1657 a Japanese priest set his kimono on fire in Tokyo because he
thought it was bad luck.
He
was right..............the flames spread until over 10,000 buildings
were destroyed and 100,000 people died.
I hope your cold will clear soon. I recovered from one last month. Even with the rain, the weather here is still very warm and humid.
ReplyDeleteHi Jo-Anne ... hope the cold eases up. I know the desert air is really cold - but produces some moisture for anything lives in the desert lands. All the best for the week - Hilary
ReplyDeleteScrappy's trying to drink that much a week...
ReplyDeleteNancy........Thanks I am not so bad today
ReplyDeleteHilary.......I am doing ok today, yes things can live in the desert
Chris........I come no where near drinking that much because I don't like water much
I hate colds - hope you feel better.
