Trivia number 68

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.

Celery has negative calories! It takes more calories to digest a piece of celery than the celery has in it to begin with. (Mmm, diet food.)   Charlie Chaplin once won third prize in a Charlie Chaplin lookalike contest. The last one for today is: In Gulliver's Travels Jonathan Swift described the two moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos, giving their exact size and speeds of rotation. He did this more than one hundred years before either moon was discovered.

 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.

Got me on all three James.  I guess Charlie just wasn't himself the day of the contest.  A bit strange on the two moons.

And yet, the negative calories found in celery are reversed when celery is served on a veggie tray alongside carrots. You think carrots are low calorie but they are little sugar bombs.

Hi James,

I knew this about celery. I know you could starve to death just eating a celery diet. Ouch.

Have a good Holiday season in Rogers my friend.

Best, Clint McKie

OK, so I will go to the refrigerator and start eating that celery I have been making a face at. Do not like raw celery. Heard green peppers are negative calories also.
