Interesting facts. Amazing those elephants and bears survived.
ReplyDeleteHope you get on ok at Doctor.
That is great hearing all those facts. Did not know the one about the dice. You all have a great day.
ReplyDeleteHi Jo-Anne - I'm sure you'll get some help for your lack of sleep - they seem to have new ideas I'm pleased to say ... take care - cheers Hilary
ReplyDelete"Elephants and dancing bears?" Seriously? I had to go look that one up. And while it is reported that at least two websites claim this story, it was indeed an Urban legend. Wiki says, "There were many animals aboard the RMS Titanic during her disastrous maiden voyage, which ended with the ship sinking on 15 April 1912 after colliding with an iceberg.
ReplyDeleteThey included dogs, cats,chickens, other birds and an unknown number of rats. Twelve dogs were on the Titanic but only three survived, and the rest of the animals perished in the disaster."
Yeah, I was sure about no elephants and dancing bears. Some dogs were in kennels. I read a book a long time ago by a man who was a young teen on the Titanic. He wanted to get his dog and was told he couldn't because the kennels were already under water.

Margaret......I may have a long wait to see the specialist those animals were lucky if it is a true fact
ReplyDeleteMarg..........I knew none of these facts
Hilary........Yeah being tired all the time sucks
Chris..........I had serious doubts about that fact too but thought it would give people a giggle, like why would they be there at all
Janie.........Yeah any animals would have been kept on the lower decks and couldn't see why they would have dancing bears let alone elephants
