Good morning everyone,
how is everyone doing, I am coolish on a cold morning only 8 degrees
here but I do not have the heater on as I am not that cold.
Well here are this
weeks facts that you may or may not know.
The
term “it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye” first
came from Ancient Rome. The only rule during wrestling matches was
“no eye gouging” Everything else was allowed and the only way to
be disqualified was to poke someone';s eye out.
The
word malaria means “bad air” This comes from the days when it
was thought that all diseases where caused by bad or dirty air.
Contrary
to popular belief elephants are not afraid of mice.,
Vincent
Van Gogh cut off his right ear, however, his self portrait with
bandaged ear showed his left ear bandaged because he used a mirror to
paint it.
If
you took all the urine produced by the world's population in one day
it would take 20 minutes or it to flow over Niagara Falls.
Dearest Jo-Anne,
ReplyDeleteThat sounds indeed rather cool, your temperature in the morning. But you like that probably more than any hot day. Just wait a few seasons...
Vincent Van Gogh did cut off the lower part of his left ear... Sad for being that depressed!
Hugs to you,
Mariette
