I found this site about interesting trivia about anything. I wanna share it with you: http://www.corsinet.com/trivia
Hehehehe.
Here are some of the interesting trivia i found there:
Money isn't made out of paper, it's made out of linen.
Most lipstick contains fish scales.
Perfume contains ethyl alcohol and 25% fragrant oils. Cologne is cheaper to produce and to purchase because the oil content in cologne is only 3%. Cologne was named for the German city in which it was first produced. The original formula combined alcohol, lemon spirits, orange bitters and mint oil.
The world's first singing commercial aired on the radio on Christmas Eve, 1926 for Wheaties cereal. The four male singers, eventually known as the Wheaties Quartet, sang the jingle.
The yo-yo was introduced in 1929 by Donald F. Duncan. The toy was based on a weapon used by 16th-century Filipino hunters
Pretty ineteresting, huh? Some of these things i never even knew. Hehehehe. Well, nice to learn something new (or old) everyday.

That is one of the things I love reading.... trivia. I think reading trivia is one way of enriching our knowledge. Imagine knowing some facts we don't even imagine. Thanks dear for sharing! I did not know that most lipsticks contain fish scales. I can't imagine how it could ever be. Ha!ha!ha!

Haha after all these years of arguing that money does come from trees, I feel like the opposite of a smart alec, a dumb a** (apple!). Thanks for the site! I sure do love finding out new things!
