Probably because it falls into the categoryof useFUL info

but you need three threads to say exactly the same thing??hmmm

Oh just thought I would add 4 more words...
"our three word story"

very useful :horse: haha

 

[karmatik]

The words 'racecar,' 'kayak' and 'level' are the same whether they are read left to right or right to left (palindromes).

You can add radar to that. I know of a town in Ireland that is a palindrome (Navan). Can anybody think of a town in Australia that is a palindrome?

 

[money tree]

not a fact but a different spin on a statistic:

we are constantly told speeding takes lives.

But how many lives are taken by NOT speeding?

I mean if I stuck to the speed limit all my life, I would have lost about 6 months of my life extra behind the wheel. Multiply that by the entire population and the road toll looks pretty insignificant. So all those sunday drivers are suckin the life out of us!

oh by the way, Ive never had an accident or speeding ticket

any mythbusters fans here?

there are a few people on this forum that obviously wont need to read this... you know who you are :

SO YOU THINK YOU KNOW EVERYTHING?



TYPEWRITER is the longest word that can be made using the letters only on one row of the keyboard.

Winston Churchill was born in a ladies' room during a dance.



..............Now you know everything


Anyone else have any interesting facts??
Feel free to add them

MM thanks for such an interesting list.

Two I must comment on.

Winston was born in a ladies cloakroom during a dance, but what is not common knowledge is that he was also conceived in a ladies cloakroom, but during a different dance and the orchestra were interrupted by the commotion during the latter.

Typewriter although a long word is not the only one I could find on a quick check of the qwerty line of my computer, with ten letters.

Proprietor, Repertoire and Perpetuity come to mind, there may be more.

Again, thanks.

Test for Dementia (received this in an email - and I'm worried lol.)

Below are four (4) questions. You have to answer them instantly. You can't take your time, answer all of them immediately. OK?

First Question: You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person. What position are you in?

Answer: If you answered that you are first, then you are
absolutely wrong! If you overtake the second person and you take his place, you are second!

Second Question: If you overtake the last person, then you are...?

Answer: If you answered that you are second to last, then you are wrong again. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST Person?
You're not very good at this, are you?

Third Question: Mary's father has five daughters: 1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini, 4. Nono. What is the name of the fifth daughter?

Did you Answer Nunu?
NO! Of course it isn't.
Her name is Mary. Read the question again!

Okay, last question: A mute person goes into a shop and wants to buy a toothbrush. By imitating the action of brushing his teeth he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper and! the purchase is done.
Next, a blind man comes into the shop who wants to buy a pair of sunglasses; how does HE indicate what he wants?

He just has to open his mouth and ask...
It's really very simple.... Like you!

I shouldnt have played by the rules ! lol

In the last 4,000 years, no new animals have been domesticated.

This website would like to disagree-

The Hamster was only domesticated around 1930. Oh, and the Ostrich in the 19-20th centuries.
