Good morning, how are we all doing? Me, well I am still suffering with arthritic pain in both my knees. The pain is so bad I just want to cry.
Anyway here are this weeks facts................
During the 1760's many parents would plunge their children into ice-cold water each morning, they thought this would help ward off colds and other diseases.
In Australia there was a mistakenly named East Alligator River up in the Northern Territory, it doesn't have alligators in it, it has crocodiles.
Hawaii is home to the world's largest active volcano, Maura Loa, which is 120km long and 4,170 metres high. Most of it underwater.
An elephant trunk has no bones but 40,000 muscles.
The average raindrop falls at seven miles per hour.
The one that shocks me is the ice cold water thing--OMG!
ReplyDeleteInteresting all of them..
ReplyDeleteThe poor little babies being thrown into ice cold water! I hope no one is doing that now. Interesting facts.
ReplyDeletePoor babies. Lots of people in Nordic (and other) countries plunge themselves into icy water regularly, but that's by choice, and as adults.
ReplyDeleteNot very good, I'm afraid. Back is bothering me, enough to come home halfway through my shift.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry you're in so much pain, Jo-Anne. I hope you can get some relief soon.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting facts. Didn't know that about an elephant's trunks and the 40,000 muscles in it. Also find it interesting that a raindrop falls at 7 mph.

7 miles per hour! A raindrop? Amazing. I knew about no bones in an elephants trunk but who knew so many muscles!!
ReplyDeleteYikes, I'd hate to have been a kid having to be subjected to the ice-cold water therapy each morning. Burrrrr
