Did You Know??

Here are some very interesting facts worth sharing with you guys..:

  • Mosquitoes have teeth.
  • In ancient England, people could not have sex without consent from the King. When people wanted to have a child, they had to solicit a permission to the monarchy. In turn they would supply a plaque to hang on their door when they had sexual relations. The plaque read "Fornication Under Consent of the King" (F.U.C.K) That is the origin of the word.
  • When the English settlers landed in Australia, they noticed a strange animal that jumped extremely high and far. They asked the aboriginal people using body language and signs trying to ask them about this animal. They responded with "Kan Ghu Ru" The English then adopted the word kangaroo. What the aboriginal people were really trying to say was 'We don't understand you' - "Kan Ghu Ru"!!!
  • Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump.
  • Starfish have no brains.
  • Statistically, people are more afraid of spiders than they are of dying.
  • Butterflies taste with their feet.
  • All polar bears are left handed.
  • The muscles in your heart have the strength to shoot your blood 10 metres in the air.
  • Humans and dolphins are the only animals that have sex for pleasure.
  • It is impossible to sneeze with your eyes open.
  • A cockroach can live 9 days without its head. It only dies because it cannot eat.
  • During historic civil wars, when troops returned without any casualties, a writing was put up so all can see which read " 0 Killed" From here we get the expression O.K. which means all is good.
