15 Strange But True Facts!!!! by Nobody: 2:29pm On Aug 23, 2014
Here are facts you probably didn't know ;

1• The dot over the letter "i" is called a tittle.

2• Because metal was scarce, the Oscars given
out during World War II were made of wood.

3• There are no words in the dictionary that
rhyme with orange,
purple and silver.

4• Astronauts are not allowed to eat beans before
they go into space because passing wind in a spacesuit damages
them.

5• The very first bomb dropped by the Allies on
Berlin in World War II killed the only elephant
in the Berlin Zoo.

6• If one places a tiny amount of liquor on a
scorpion, it will
instantly go mad and sting itself to death.
(Who was the sadist who
discovered this??)

7• By raising your legs slowly and lying on your
back, you cannot
sink into quicksand.

8• Charlie Chaplin once won third prize in a
Charlie Chaplin
look-alike contest.

9• Bats always turn left when exiting a cave!

10• It is impossible to lick your elbow.

11• Do you know that ( 111,111,111 )x( 111,111,111) =
(12,345,678,987,654,321)

12• Snakes DON’T EAT PEOPLE! It might sound
obvious, but snakes are generally timid and
will move away when disturbed by humans.
Snakes eat frogs, mice, rats, lizards and birds.
Their venom is designed to kill or immobilise
prey quickly to avoid the snake sustaining any
injuries.

13• Snake Venom is useful! And not just in the
creation of antivenom: research into uses for
snake venom is ongoing, but its powerful
toxins have already found uses in medicine
including blood thinning, pain relief, and
tumour treatment.

14• Snakes cannot blink or close their eyes.

15• Goats are naturally curious. While they
don’t actually eat tin cans and paper, they are
often seen chewing odds and ends mainly to
find out more about these objects. Behaviorists
think goats chew these items to find out more
about them and to see if they are edible.
