Good morning, everyone. Here is Wednesday's edition. I hope you enjoy them.
Construction workers hard hats were first invented and used in the building of the Hoover Dam in 1933.
If all the gold sitting in the ocean and seas were mined, every person on this planet would get about 20 kilograms of gold each.
The world's first ski chair lift was modeled after a device that loaded bananas on to cargo ships.
The world's longest gum wrapper chain is 30,744 feet long.
In Jamaica there is a law firm named Lawless & Linch. (EROS is going to get me on this one)
If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months, and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat 1 cup of coffee.
The Saguaro cactus found in the Southwestern U.S. doesn't grow branches until it's 75 years old.
The tip of a bullwhip moves so fast that it breaks the sound barrier. The crack of the whip is actually a tiny sonic boom.
The 2 hottest months at the equator are March and September.
The Venus Flytrap can eat and entire cheeseburger. (who'd have guessed?)
Have a great day.
Kathy
