Hello world, hello
Monday, how is everyone doing?
I am fine, another warm
day in Newie, this morning I rode my scooter down the road to post
some letters and it felt good just getting out for a few minutes.
Anyway here are this
weeks did you know facts.
A
law passed in Nebraska in 1912 rally made life difficult for
drivers, in the country at night they were required to stop every 150
yards, send up a skyrocket and wait 8 minutes for the road to clear
before proceeding cautiously, all the while blowing the horn and
shooting off flares.
Mosquito
repellents don't actually repel the hide you, the spray blocks the
mosquito's sensors so they don't know you are there.
The
subject of the first printed book in England was chess.
The
American showman known as General Tom Thumb was only 102cm or 3'4”
tall he died in 1885
A
teaspoon of neutron star material weighs about 10 million tons

ReplyDeleteWHO KNEW? BET IT IS NOT THAT WAY NOW.
Interesting Jo-Anne.
ReplyDeleteNice to know you got out for a ride on your scooter.
Hello! I'm glad you were able to get out, even for a short time--makes a difference to one's mental health!
ReplyDeleteI knew none of these things...That old Nebraska law was very odd! LOL.
Take care, have a good week, stay well.
And I found it curious when a long time ago, the folks used to just blow a horn passing through a caution at night...
ReplyDeleteI knew about mosquito spray and Tom Thumb but the rest of the amazing facts I did not. :)
ReplyDelete"... law passed in Nebraska in 1912..."
ReplyDeleteIt would be faster just to walk! 😂
I didn't know any of those facts. I guess the drivers in Nebraska didn't get very far.
