Did you know No 21


Hello everyone, here I am on a Monday afternoon writing a post because I can and because everyone needs useless facts in their lives.

The term “rookie” comes from the military use of the word, it originated during the American Civil War, when there was a huge influx on new soldiers as in recruits or reckies.

The world's first form of chocolate was a drink regarded by the Aztecs as the drink of gods. The drink “chocoatl” was made from ground cacao beans, a few grains of corn and water and was beaten until frothy and cold.

One pound of tea can make 300 cups of tea

At the equator the earth spins at about 1,000 miles per hour

Canada has more lakes than the rest of the world combined

  6. Well...re: the equator...are people in danger of flying off into space as they stand there? Or are the heavier than a ton of steel and just stand there? Kidding of course but that IS a fascinating fact!
