How many of us know this.



1). Our eyes are always the same size from birth, but our noseand ears never stop growing.



2).Leonardo Da Vinci invented the scissors





3).Peanuts are one of the ingredients of dynamite!



4).Rubber bandslast longer when refrigerated.

The average person's left hand does 56% of the typing.



5).The cruise liner, QE 2, moves only six inches for each gallon of diesel that it burns.



6).The microwave was invented after a researcher walked by a radar tube and a chocolate bar melted in his pocket. (Good thing he did that.)



7).TYPEWRITER is the longest word that can be made using the letters only on one row of the keyboard. (All you typists are going to test this out)



8).A goldfish has a memory span of three seconds.(Some days that's about what my memory span is.)



9).A snail can sleep for three years. (I know some people that could do this too.!)



10).An ostrich's eyeis bigger than its brain.

(I know some people like that also)



11).Babies are born without kneecaps. They don't appear until the child reaches 2 to 6 years of age..



12).February 1865 is the only month in recorded history not to have a full moon.



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



14).If the population of China walked past you, 8 abreast, the line would never end because of the rate of reproduction.



15).The winter of 1932 was so cold that Niagara Falls froze completely solid.



16).There are more chickens than people in the world.



17).Women blink nearly twice as much as men.



18).The above two Photos are of the two rivers flowing in southern part near Cape Town , South Africa .

These two river flow together and finally settle down in the Ocean. The taste of one river wateris extremely sweet whereas the taste of other river is extremely opposite (that is bitter) but they never mix.There is no physical barrier in between these rivers which stops them from mixing together but it is the will & order of God.



Regards,



Rajesh
