Did you know..................?

# A statue in a park with a soldier on a horse with it’s 2 feet in the air means the soldier died in combat.
If the horse has only 1 foot in the air, the soldier died of injuries from combat.
If the horse has all 4 feet on the ground, the soldier died of natural causes.

# When the English settlers landed in Australia, they noticed a strange animal that jumped extremely high and far. They asked the aboriginal people using body language and signs trying to ask them about this animal. They responded with ’’Kan Ghu Ru’’ the English then adopted the word kangaroo. What the aboriginal people were really trying to say was
‘’we don’t understand you’’, ‘’ Kan Ghu Ru’’.

♦ Diamonds: Julius Cesar
♠ Spades: King David

♣ Clubs: Alexander The Great
♥ Hearts: Charlemagne

# During historic civil wars, when troops returned without any casualties, a writing was put up so all can see, which read
"0 Killed".
From here we get the expression "O.K." which means all is good.
The muscles in your heart have the strength to shoot your blood 10 meters in the air?

# Multiplying 111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321

# Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump

# All polar bears are left handed

# Crocodiles cannot stick out their tongue

# Butterflies taste with their feet

# A duck’s quack has no echo, and nobody knows why

# It is impossible to sneeze with your eye’s open

# Starfish have no brains

# Thomas Edison was afraid of the dark.

# The word "cemetery" comes from the Greek koimetirion which means dormitory.

I am part of the 80% ... ha ha ha it's too funny.  I liked this very much and if you don't mind I would like to use it in my class.  It's always good to do something fun in class ... all grammar becomes boring.

Thanks
