Hello to all! I have been wanting to start this thread for quite a while, I love the little tidbits of info that people post and thought there should be a place to put all these factoids for all to peruse and add to if you would like. I think knowing a lot about the ‘little stuff’ is better than knowing a lot about one or two big things. So come on in, have some crazy fun, take your mind off of normal life things and learn some cool info! Things you would never think of routinely are the true gems in a world that has gone totally nutz!
I will start off with a few of my recent favorites.
Did you know that for every silk on an ear of corn there is a kernel.
Did you know that African elephants ear’s are in the shape of Africa and Indian elephants ear’s are in the shape of India.
Did you know rain travels at 17 mph.
Did you know that for medicinal use Aloe Vera must be dry for at least a week?
So hope you enjoy this thread and please feel free to add to the collection

Heres one for ya: Bees are known to get drunk from fermented nectar, and when drunk are very dangerous flyers, often causing accidents. Some bees even get so wasted that they can’t even find their way back to the hive! But those that do make it back to the hive have it far worse. A study on drunk bees showed that when a bee returns to the hive drunk, the other bees will often block it from entering the hive until it has sobered up, sometimes attacking them in order to help them straighten themselves out! And when they’ve eventually landed they’re often grounded until they’re safe to fly again!
