Little Known Facts - Do You Know Any?

I suspect this is not a little known fact, but did you know this discussion is probably going to get deleted? But just to keep the fun going for a while......Do you know that the ancient Egyptians used crocodile dung in a pessary as a contraceptive? I don't know about the rest of the guys, but if I knew there was a croc nearby, that would be have killed my ardour before the pessary was necessary! :o

Hi Angelee, I learned today that although our BP gives us continual coupons for free beverage and treats and they expire, if you go into the BP and select your free beverage, and although the coupon is expired they will honor it anyways. lol This was such a delight, because I get so many of the free coupon tickets and was throwing them away for over a year, as I never did make it during the listed time period. Today, my boyfriend pulled out a couple and I said they are expired, he said HA! No such thing when you are a loyal customer. Therefore, both of us walked out with huge milkshakes. MMMMM!

i know it takes about 20 days for something to become a habit.

One I learned a long time ago but which has been very useful is this: when hot oil and water are mixed, they 'spit' - like when you put frozen food into a hot frying pan. But if you add one to the other, because they don't mix properly, the last one added will be the one that is spat out. In other words, if you add water to a hot frying pan, it'll spit water rather than oil, which is a lot safer than adding oil to hot water. That's why I always make sure a pan is hot AND dry before I add the oil.

I love facts especially if they are surprising ones. One thing that amazed me was that it is always the male seahorses that get pregnant. Another one is that chimpanzees can remember only 1000 human made alphabets or words. So they are not as smart as we think they are. Also I learned that 97 percent of DNA of chimpanzees match with ours. That is why, they are closest to us. I also came to know that Benjamin Franklin was a member of Hell Fire club in Britain. I really got very surprised by this, for this specific club consisted of really forbidden activities. Another thing is that every year in Bohemian grove which is in California a huge number of political men meet for partying and camping. Every nasty thing happens there. But at the same time, many important decisions about the world are also taken right there. The pictures are all over the Internet.

I didn't know that some sharks laid eggs and that they laid the largest eggs in the world, however, NOW I do =)

Hi mylotters. I love to learn cool new facts everyday. And it has become my hobby to browse, find and share one fact daily :) What I have found today is (I think you people may already know this. Forgive me if so) - A Rabbit's eyes is placed not directly in the front of its head, but to the sides. This enables a Rabbit, a near 360 degrees of vision. So the rabbit can look behind it without even breaking sweat to turn its head :O But as with all, the disadvantage of such strange placement of eyes is that, though is vision perspective is wide, but still a Rabbit can not look directly in front of it, nor directly backwards, straight above or below it. Have a nice day :)

i have also learned a little known fact- when a fair coin is tossed once either the head or the tail appears. Both can never ever occur at the same time no matter how hard you try....
