Did you know No:30


Hello Monday, is it a good day?

Well I am feeling about 75% better but still have a way to go.

Anyway here are this weeks facts.

The word “macaroni” means “dearest darlings” in Italian

A procession of caterpillars two miles long and 33 feet wide caused chaos in the Italian town of Fabriano in June 1982. A train slipped off the track when it ran into the bug parade as it crossed the railway line.

The Irish are the biggest tea drinkers in the world, followed by the English in second place and the people in Qatar third.

If you could stretch out all of a human's blood vessels, they would be more than long enough to go around the world twice.

The Chinese are on record as having eaten pasta as early as 5,000 B.C.
