I have a book called "Uncle John's Bathroom Reader". I love it. It faithfully sits on the back of our toilet for some pleasure reading. Here are some of the things I learned today:
- The shortest complete sentence in the English language: "Go."
- Sean Connery has a tattoo that says "Mum and Dad."
- In Hot Springs, Arkansas, it is illegal to gargle in public.
- It cost $3 million to build the Titanic... and $100 million to make the movie.
- In Canada, milk is sold in plastic bags as well as in jugs.
- A lion's roar is louder than a jackhammer.
- Johnny Depp played guitar on the 1998 Oasis album Be Here Now.
- A tiger can cover about 30 feet in a single stride.
- A human body decomposes four times faster in water than on land.
- A group of hares is called a down. (A group of hairs is called a wig.)
- A turtle's shell is sensitive enough to feel a twig brush across it.
- Temperature of milk inside the cow: 101` F.
- Napoleon's favorite horse was named Marengo; George Washington's was named Lexington.
- It's against the law to run out of gas in Youngstown, Ohio.
- Ireland's longest place name: Muckanaghederdauhaulia ("pig marsh between two saltwater inlets")
- Shocking news: there are about 500 species of fish capable of producing electricity.
