Tidbits

 I found these pieces of trivia today on Letters Against Isolation

  • There are over 200 million insects for each human currently alive on the planet!

  • Cows have best friends and they get stressed when they are separated.

  • The time between Cleopatra's birth and the invention of the iPhone is less than the time between Cleopatra's birth and when the Great Pyramids were built.

  • If you folded a piece of paper in half 42 times, it would reach the moon! (Challenge a senior to see how many times they can fold a paper - I got to 6!).

  • Sharks existed on Earth before trees.

  • A blue whale's heart is the size of a Volkswagen Beetle!


  • Women blink nearly twice as much as men.

  • The Atlantic Ocean is saltier than the Pacific Ocean.

  • Penguins can convert salt water into fresh water!

  • Tomatoes originated in South America. The Italians didn't have pizza until the 18th century!

I don't think these are questions on Jeopardy.
