holiday so no school for the grandkids or work for Jessica, Tim
however, is at work.
So
anyway here are this weeks did you know facts.
Working
Council in England held a special meeting to choose a name for their
new indoor swimming pool. After much discussion and thought they
finally hit on the idea: “Working Indoor Pool”.
Russia's
Lake Baikal is a mile deep and contains more fresh water than any
other lake in the world.
Dr.Samuel
Mudd was the doctor who took care of John Wilkes Booth, the shame of
the act gave raise to the expression “his name is mud”.
In
the Great Fire of London in 166, half of London was destroyed but
only six people were injured.
There
is enough fuel in the tank of a jumbo jet to drive an average car
around the world four times.
Interesting facts Jo-Anne.

ReplyDeleteI didn't know they kept history from 166!
I think Dr. Mudd was maybe executed or put in jail for helping the assassin of the president, but I don't remember for sure. I'll have to look that up. I doubt if he even knew who he was caring for. It wasn't as if he could look up his patients on Facebook.
