Random...

Here are some random bits of knowledge I know and thought I would share:

  1. The dashes that divide freeway and street lanes are 6 feet in length. They don't look that long when you're whizzing past them do they?

  2. Even numbered freeways run East to West, while odd numbered freeways run North to South.

  3. You can get a fly to leave a room by turning off the light. The fly will go to the nearest source of light.

  4. The scrolling news ticker at the bottom of the TV screen was not commonly used until Sept 11, 2001.

  5. Iceland is greener than Greenland, and Greenland is icier than Iceland.

  6. You can get candle wax off of carpet with a hot iron and a brown paper bag.

  7. The capitol of Comoros, an island off the Eastern coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean, is called Moroni.

  8. Veneers and fake teeth glow when exposed to black light.
