So you think you already know everything? Here are 13 things you may not have known (I got this in an email and thought some of these were good!) I don't know if the banner is from KellyNello or goofy girl but say hello to both of them any way!
- No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver, or purple. (You know you just tried to think of one...didn't you!)
- A dime has 118 ridges around the edge.
- Al Capone's business card said he was a used furniture dealer.
- Peanuts are one of the ingredients of dynamite!
- The average person's left hand does 56% of the typing.
- The winter of 1932 was so cold that Niagara Falls froze completely solid. (I would have loved to see that!)
- Winston Churchill was born in a ladies' room during a dance.
- There's no Betty Rubble in the Flintstones Chewables Vitamins. (You know you're curious....really, no love for Betty!)
- If you are an average American, in your whole life, you will spend an average of 6 months waiting at red lights. (So then that also means that you'll spend an average of 6 months of your life bitching about being stopped at red lights :-) )
- Cats have over one hundred vocal sounds. Dogs only have about 10. (I still like dogs more, vocal sounds or not!)
- A goldfish has a memory span of three seconds.
- A crocodile cannot stick out its tongue. (Well that makes me feel better....after eating me, he can't stick out his tongue and make fun of me for going near him....whew!)
- Our eyes are always the same size from birth, but our nose and ears never stop growing. (What a frightening thought!)
Well, now you know everything! It's rude to not leave a message....so leave me some love here people! Also say hello to Carmen because she has a GREAT new design by Goofy girl. And as long as you're saying hello, make sure to stop by Janet and tell her Amy sent you so she knows that Michelle isn't the only one who sends people over to her.

Everytime I see this, I just KNOW I can find a word that rhymes with purple, lol!
My Thursday Thirteen is up.
Happy Thursday!
Some of those things I did not know, and even though I knew the first one, it didn't stop me from trying to think of a rhyming word. :\
Your Thursday Thirteen is very interesting.Your #5 is really very true. I did some typing job too and it is very true that your left does most of the work. Your #4 really surprised me as peanuts are my favorite. #13 is frightening indeed. If our noses don't stop growing....we might become pinocchio. (Lol.)
Thanks for dropping and I enjoyed reading yours.
I spent a lot of time tryig to rhyme those words, you know. I'll never get that part of my life back! :)
Most of these I didn't have a clue about until I read this. I, too, would have loved to have seen the frozen Niagara Falls - but it was a little before my time. :)
My TT is up.
Did know any of that! I learned something new.
Happy TT!
I want to know whose job it was to count the ridges on the dime.
I'm up: http://sisterrobin.blog-city.com
Oh - and 11 was disproved on Mythbusters.
Yeah, I like dogs better too!
and frankly, Robin, I wonder how did they disprove that? I was about to say that its a good thing because our goldfish is in such a small tank, if they did not forget so fast, it would get WAY boring; wouldn't it?
Well you should have heard Fritz tonight! You'd have thought he had more vocal chords than a cat! Man what a barker!
Good list. Most I did not know.
Happy Thursday!
interesting on the crocodile fact.
Happy TT! Mine is up, too.
hi and happy TT
My T13 - Classic Books I've Never Read Edition is up at Bloggin' Outloud. Thanks!
Oh, btw, thanks for the trivia. Now how do you know that about gold fish? lol
What a great list...I didn't know many of, or wait...ANY of this stuff. LOL Now I'm glad I do! =o)
Does this mean that people who are allergic to peanuts can't handle dynamite? Hmmm...
Sometimes I wish I were a goldfish!
What! Really? My nose is going to get even BIGGER? SHITE!
Thank you for sending people to me, you rawwwwwwk!
Mine's up!
Gosh, these are interesting facts. I wish that my nose wasn't getting any bigger! I love my dogs vocal sounds too! And sometimes I feel like I hae the memory of a goldfish! Fantastic list!
I had to go dump out my sons vitamins-- those are all he gets. LOL! GREAT list!!! happy TT!
Interesting list!! Have a great Thursday!!
very interseting list. I'm pretty sure there's gotta be word that rhymes with purple. I'll find it yet!
I can't imagine that our eyes are the same size from birth. I'm guessing in proportion to your face? or literally the same size? scary!
Well that explains why old men's noses and ears are so large!
My Tt is up too.
Those are interesting facts, and I'm with you about liking dogs better than cats!
Mine are up here and here!
So, with its 3-second memory span, the goldfish would have never gotten to #12, having re-read #11 over and over, forgetting that he had read it before.
Awww, aren't you sweet with your shout out. :)
I'm having a party to celebrate. You are invited!
Great list!! I knew that nothing rymed with orange, but purple was new to me.....and I can't stop trying to think of one that will....
Purple - Irkle - u know like the "did i do that" guy! haha! Okay that was stupid! Great TT!
