The world is upside down. When we look at a map or a globe we always see Europe and North America and Canada at the top. This is because the people who first drew maps were Europeans and they drew the maps like you would draw or paint a portrait - head on top and then body. So they drew Europe at the top. But in reality the Earth is upside down (see above) as it revolves in space. When a rocket is out there photographing the Earth it sees Europe at the top; but in reality it is flying upside down in relation to the Universe and outer space but don't realise it.
Uranus smells of cinnamon. Rockets sent in outer space to investigate reported that the atmosphere around Uranus smells Christmassy. Just like cinnamon.
Do you know the difference between a frog and a toad? The spelling!
It is not true that peahens choose their peacock mates because of the beauty and colour of their tails when it is in full display. It's true that peacocks do so with their tails to attract a female; but peahens prefer a good personality and a sense of humour.
Do you know why flamingoes stand on one leg? Because if they lift the other leg they'd fall off.
Ferrets are the third most popular pets after dogs and cats. They are very attentive and listen to their owners' problems better than a dog or cat would do; but they care less anyway.
The albatross can keep on flying for 10 years without ever landing. It dives in the sea to pick up a fish but still remains airborne for years. It lands to lay eggs to produce the next generation. It can fly for six days without flapping its wings; it just glides on thermal currents.
And finally; a hen walked in the library and went "book!" The librarian gave it a book which it put under its wing and walked off.
The next day it returned and went "Book ... Book ..." The librarian gave it two books and it went away.
The following day it went "Book ... Book ...Book Book Book ..." The librarian gave it 5 books.
Curious, the librarian followed the hen at a distance. Out in the woods she found a frog saying, "Read it ... Read it ... Read it ..."
HUMOUR HELPS KEEP YOU SANE
...there's more that I don't know than I do know!
ReplyDeleteIndeed, there are more unknowns than knowns in this world and the more we know we learn the more that we don't know. For instance, did you know that banana plants actually walk (move from one place to another?) Did you also know that if you eat NOTHING but rabbit for a long period you will die. Whilst rabbit provides protein it takes out of your body other necessary nutrients needed for life. So, eat rabbit with something else like vegetables or fruits but never rabbit on its own. What's up Doc? That's ... that's all folks!
DeleteGod bless, Tom.
I'm so confused by all I never knew!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many things I do not know, Mevely. I went to University to get a Degree in Ignorance. I failed even that.
DeleteGod bless always.
I second what Mevely just said! Blessings, Victor!
ReplyDeleteSo many things we do not really know. So, I make them up instead and leave it to my readers to sort out the facts from the fiction. That way I get educated as well.
DeleteGod bless, Martha.

Is that true about the albatros?
ReplyDeleteAn article I read said 10 years. This article says 6 years:

When I was an albatross it was 10 seconds!
God bless, Sandi.
Thank you very much, I feel much smarter now, I think?
ReplyDeleteBut the smiles help a lot. The best to you from this side!!!
Smiling keeps us warm and happy, Jack. God bless you dear friend.

DeleteI always wondered what the difference between a frog and toad was, know I know. :)
ReplyDeleteI only learnt this from a spelling book last week. I thought I'd share it.
DeleteGod bless, Bill.
You joke so much - and I like it - and it is good for you - but the world - are we really on the downside?
ReplyDeleteThe thing is, Chatty Crone, how do we really know how the Universe is set out? We may look up to the sky and see the moon. But for all we know we may be looking down at the moon. After all, Australians and most people in the Southern hemisphere at the very bottom of the globe are looking down at the sky from our perspective in the North like Canada. So who is to say what is up or down in respect to the whole Universe. We may say Mars or Neptune are up there ... but if we're upside down as a planet, these other planets may be down rather than up as we see them. But do they smell of cinnamon? That is the question, as Shakespeare would say!
DeleteGod bless always.
So much I never knew nor even thought about. :)
ReplyDeleteYou learn a lot when visiting this Blog, K. I know I have learnt a lot also by reading all this stuff.
DeleteGod bless.
Thank you for teaching me and for the laughs.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to laugh, Mimi. God bless.
