Trivia number 61

Trivia number 61

I want this to be information one just usually doesn’t hear.  If you have I would like to know if you haven’t all the better you’ve learned something today.  With that being said here is the information for you to consider today.

Playing cards were issued to British pilots in WWII. If they were captured, the cards could be soaked in water and unfolded to reveal a map for escape.  Ketchup was sold in the 1830s as medicine.  The last one for today is: Leonardo da Vinci could write with one hand and draw with the other at the same time.

 

 Now go out and tell the world of your new found knowledge.  Smile it will make people wonder what you’ve been up to.  Join us tomorrow for another journey into the wonderful world of Wordsmith.  Click on the link below.  Who knows you may learn something along the way and some of the words may even bring a smile to your face.   Wise Custom Realty is hiring in AR., PA., MO., CO., and OK. call me for details.

Hi James,

I can't even write worth a darn with one hand let alone doing something else with the other hand at the same time. Some people have it and others....Well you know.

Have a great day in Rogers my friend.

Best, Clint McKie

Make yourself a great day.

Da Vinci might have been able to draw with one hand and write with the other, but could he tap his head with one hand and rub his belly with the other?
