Hello Monday what a
nice Monday although I woke up feeling not so good it is a warm day
but at the moment no need for the air con at this stage. Anyway let's
move on to this weeks did you know facts.
The
estimated weight of the Great Pyramid of Egypt is 6,648,000 tons, how
the hell do they work that out.
There
are 31,557,600 seconds in a year
During
WW11 Hitler commissioned Ferdinand Porsche designer of the VW Beetle
and many other cars to design the biggest, heaviest tank possible.
The tank was completely watertight and it could cross a river not by
floating but by driving across the floor of the river under the
water. The problem with the design was that it was so heavy it
literally demolished the streets and foundations of nearby buildings
as it passed, due to its weight and vibration.
The
female cod can lay up to ten million eggs in one birth, bloody hell
During
Abraham Lincoln's campaign for the U S presidency, a democrat named
Valentine Tapley from Pike County Missouri, swore that he would never
shave again in Lincoln were to be elected. He kept his word and
didn't shave after the November 1860 election when he died in 1910
his beard was 12ft 6” long.
Going back to the pyramid - think of all those poor souls who had to carry the bricks and make it!
ReplyDeleteAmazing facts. How did they worked out the facts about the weight of the pyramid or the eggs of the female cod.
ReplyDeleteThe tank: I'll bet that "crossing the river bottom" thing didn't work out well, either.
ReplyDeleteBeard: I'd sure like to see Nancy Pelosi try that one...
Chatty.......Hell yeah those poor souls suffered so much
