So you think you know everything?

Here are some things that you probably didn't know.

Stewardesses  is the longest word 
typed with only the left hand.
 

(That is, of course, if you don't type with your hands going all over the keyboard, like I do. I never quite learned to type the right way. :/ )


Our eyes  are always the same size from birth, 
BUT 
our nose and ears 
never stop growing. 


There are TWO words in the English language that have all five vowels in order: abstemious and facetious.
(I have no idea what those words mean, by the way.)


A cat has 32 muscles in each ear.


A goldfish has a memory span of three seconds.
(Ok, we all knew that.) 
A JIFFY is an actual unit of time for 1/100th of a second.


shark is the only fish that can blink with both eyes. 
AND
A snail 
 can sleep for three years. 
 

An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.


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



Leonardo Da Vinci invented the scissors.
Peanuts are one of the ingredients of dynamite!


The microwave was invented after a researcher walked by a radar tube and a chocolate bar melted in his pocket.
(Hallelujah for that!!)


Winston Churchill
was born in a ladies' room during a dance.
 
Women blink nearly twice as much as men.
Now you know everything!!!! :)
