Hello Monday again so that means it is facts day again, so here we go:
More than 75% of all the countries in the world are north of the equator.
Oak trees do not have acorns till they reach 50 years of age.
The average iceberg weighs 20 million tons
The English Channel gets a foot wider every year.
The Eisenhower interstate road system in America requires that one mile in every five must be straight. These straight bits are for use as airstrps in times of war or other emergencies.

I did not know about the interstate system. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteMy oak trees must be ancient. We get buckets full of acorns every fall.
The only thing I knew was about the Eisenhower road system, commonly known as Interstates here. I knew about the landing strip areas...
