THINGS YOU MAY NOT KNOW

* Webster's 1996 dictionary had 315 misspelled entries.
* On average, 12 newborns a day will be given to the wrong parents.
* Donald Duck comics were banned from Finland because Donald doesn't
wear pants, just a skirt, a shirt, and a bow tie.
* Ketchup was sold in the 1830s as medicine.
* Leonardo Da Vinci could write with one hand and draw with the other at
the same time, inventing multi-tasking.
* The name Wendy was made up for the book Peter Pan; there was never
a recorded Wendy before!
* If you have three quarters, four dimes, and four pennies, you have $l.l9.
You also have the largest amount of money in coin without being able
to make change for a dollar.
* Celery has negative calories! It takes more calories to digest a piece of
celery than the celery has in it (six) to begin with. It's the same with
apples!
* Guinness Book of Records holds the record for the book most often stolen
from public libraries.
* Astronauts are not allowed to eat beans before they go into space, because
passing "wind" in a space suit damages it.
