Good
morning world, Monday again and another nice day, here is this weeks
did you know facts.
In
1989, an American weapons company ran scratch and sniff advertisement
in the Armed Forces Journal. It pictured two battling helicopters and
when part of the ad was scratched, it gave off the smell or cordite,
the odour left in the air after a rocket explosion.
“Jenga”
is a Swahili word that means “to build”
Mr
Potato Head was the first Toy product ever advertised on television.
Giraffes
have no vocal cords
The
first cartoon hero to go from comic book to movie was Zorro the film
“The Mark of Zorro” was released in 1920 just a year after the
comic was launched
So interesting, I didn't know any of that!☺
ReplyDeleteSome real goodies this week! :)
ReplyDeleteI can honestly say the only one I knew was the giraffe. Cordite, eh? Glad the ad wasn't in Roto-Rooter....
ReplyDeleteI didn't know any of this either. Giraffes have no vocal cords - isn't that odd with that long, long neck?
ReplyDeleteNat......Now you do,unless you forgot it all
ReplyDeleteRita....Thank you
Chris......You know more then me
Sandie.....Yes it is strange
I remember when Mr. Potato Head was done with real potatoes so the pieces to make the faces had to be quite sharp so they could go in the potatoes. It was rather dangerous. I've always wondered what sound a giraffe makes. Now I know it doesn't.
