I did not know that Lyn, you are like an encyclopedia today Laughing

Did you know that we are taller in the morning than in the evening because during normal activities during the day the cartilage in our knees and other areas slowly compress, but when you go to sleep and rest the cartilage goes back to normal. On average we are about 1cm taller the morning than in the evening.

Did you know?... The greatest recorded number of children that have been born by one mother is 69! The poor lass gave birth to 16 pairs of twins, seven sets of triplets and a measley 4 sets of quadruplets. Even in the days before IVF!

One set of twins was enough for me LOL

Did you know that in the event a man was caught short so to speak, it is legal for him to pee on the offside rear wheel of the car/carriage? (So as not to offend the ladies!)

Did you know that when you sleep your brain secretes a hormone that paralyzes your body so that you can not act out your dreams and hurt yourself?
