TOP 10 USELESS FACTS FOR THE WEEK
? - A female lobster is called a hen or chicken. A lobster hen can lay
100,000 eggs at a time.
? - A circa 1116 B.C. Chinese imperial edict claimed that the use of
alcohol in moderation was required by heaven.
? - The speed of sound in water is about five times faster than the
speed of sound in air. Sound travels at nearly a mile per second in water
in 68 degrees Fahrenheit. That's because sound uses molecules to travel.
Molecules in water are much closer together than those in air, thus
shortening the travel time.
? - The word "shrimp” comes from the German "schrumpfen", meaning
something that has shriveled or gotten smaller — as some store-bought
shrimp seem to do when cooked.
? - Playwright William Wells Brown was the first black American to write
a play in the United States. "Escape", or "A Leap for Freedom", was
written in 1858.
? - The device that switches off the ringer on a Japanese cell phone is
called the "manners button," and its LCD icon is a heart.
? - As recently as the 1930s, morphine injections were commonly used by
physicians to treat alcoholism.
? - “Tangerine” is named for Tangiers, a port in Morocco. The tangerine
was once referred to as “the kid-glove orange” because its skin slipped
off as easily as a glove and had the feel of fine leather.
? - Bears are extremely shortsighted creatures, which means they live
mainly in a world of scent and sound.

require a run of more than 30 feet to become airborne. |
