In my 20s I didn’t either. I bought my first house at 13 percent interest. It would have tripled the original cost if I paid it out. Gas triple during the same time. That got my attention and put politics to the top. Paying attention enabled my to strategies my investments. And not be affected by repetition of that time today because people didn’t pay attention then.

Think you know everything? Well have a look at these.....

 

Stewardesses is the longest word

typed with only the left hand. 

And 'lollipop' is the longest word typed

with your right hand. 

(Bet you just tried these out mentally, didn't you?)

 

No word in the English language rhymes with 

month , orange, silver, or purple. 

 

Dreamt' is the only English word that ends in the letters 'mt'.  

(Are you doubting this?)

 

Our eyes are always the same size from birth,

but our nose and ears never stop growing.

 

The sentence:

'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog' uses every letter of the alphabet. 

(Now, you KNOW you're going to try this out for accuracy, right?)

 

The words 'racecar,'  'kayak' and 'level' are the same whether they are read left to right   or right to left (palindromes).  

(Yep, I knew you were going to 'do' this one.)

 

There are only four words in the English language which end in 'dous': tremendous, horrendous, stupendous, and hazardous.   

(You're not possibly still doubting any of this, are you ?)

 

There are two words in the English language that have all five vowels in order: 'abstemious' and 'facetious.' 

(Okay, admit it, you just went through  a-e-i-o-u  in your head)  

 

 TYPEWRITER  is the longest word that can be made using the letters only on one row of the keyboard. 

(All you typists are going to test this out)

 

A cat has 32 muscles in each ear. 

 

A goldfish has a memory span of three seconds 

(And, some days I think I  m right there with them.)

 

A 'jiffy'  is an actual unit of time, 1/100th of a second.

 

A shark is the only fish that can blink with both eyes.  

A snail can sleep for three years. 

(I know some people that could do this too!)  

 

Almonds are a member of the peach family. 

 

An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. 

(I know some people like that also . Actually I know A LOT of people like this!)

 

Babies are born without kneecaps. They don't appear until the child reaches 2 to 6 years of age.

 

February 1865 is the only month in recorded history not to have a full moon. 

 

In the last 4,000 years, no new animals have been domesticated.  

 

If the population of China  walked past you, 8 abreast, the line would never end because of their rate of reproduction. 


Leonardo Da Vinci invented the scissors

 

Peanuts are one of the ingredients of dynamite!

 

Rubber bands last longer when refrigerated.

 

The average person's left hand does 56% of the typing. 

 

The cruise liner, QE 2, moves only six inches for each gallon of diesel that it burns.

 

The microwave was invented after a researcher walked by a radar tube and a chocolate bar melted in his pocket.

(Good thing he didn  t have dynamite.)

 

 The winter of 1932 was so cold that Niagara Falls 

froze completely solid 

 

There are more chickens than people in the world. 

 

Winston Churchill was born in a ladies' room during a dance.

 

Women blink nearly twice as much as men.

 

Now you know everything !
