I thought I’d share some fun facts on this Throwback Thursday:
u Hot water will turn into ice faster than cold water
u Coca-Cola was originally green
u Camels have three eyelids to protect themselves from the blowing desert sand.
u Woman blink nearly twice as much as men!
u “Rhythm” is the longest English word without a vowel
u Ants take a rest for around 8 minutes in a 12 hour period
u The Mona Lisa has no eyebrows.
u The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.

Everyone of these facts was new to me, Dorie... even the Mona Lisa not having eyebrows... having seen the Mona Lisa in person numerous times in Paris, I can't believe I never truly focused on that.

Hello Dorie - fact-finding can be fun but remembering each of these may be futile although some seem familiar. Hmm it's Thursday, right? Why does it seem like Friday??? 🙃

I had no idea that Coca Cola was once green. However, "Rhythm" is not the longest English words without a vowel. I say that because the vowels are: A,E,I,O,U, and sometimes "Y." I also know it, because my name is, "Myrl." 😊

Dorie I must have looked at the Mona Lisa portrait a hundred times, and have never noticed she does not have any eyebrows.
