  6. I actually knew the right/left handed one. Weird since I don't know many left handed people.

    Fun fact for you: Snakes can sense a coming earthquake from 75 miles away (121 km), up to five days before it happens.

  8. Hi Jo-Anne - amazing facts ... oh yes I can believe the left and right; while Picasso's works - I presume they're all real ... I heard recently that many of Dali's works were faked. Always interesting to pick up new ideas - cheers Hilary

  9. Interesting facts which I didn't know. Those suction toilets really scare me. I know a few left handed people and some are not totally left handed as they are able to use the right hand as well. It is just that their left hands are stronger and most of them write with their left hand.
