10 Fun Things to Add Up in Your Mind

Learning is always fun, maybe not at all times. So as to take away the boredom and make learning a way for having fun, here are ten facts that are worth knowing.

1. What makes ostrich outstanding is not just the fact that it is the largest living bird, but also the truth that it lays the biggest eggs.

2. If you’re planning to give your date the biggest flower in the whole world, think twice. It is because rafflesia as the largest flower is not as lovely as you thought. It looks and smells just like a huge lump of rotting flesh that might just turn her off.

3. It’s fun to know that talipot palm that grows in some Asian countries flowers only once in its lifetime, then dies a year later. Before it dies it produces a mass of flowers up to 13 m across, followed by 50 million fruits, each about 25 mm long.

4. Here comes the final exam. And everyone just thought of having a photographic memory – the ability to remember a scene or picture just as if looking at the photograph. It may not give us hard time to memorize but studying is still of importance.

5. Mercury must be the nearest planet in the sun, but it’s Venus which is the hottest.

6. Research shows, we are most likely to be killed by a champagne cork than a spider.

7. Oh! Do you know that a pregnant goldfish is called TWIT.

8. And men confessed. The result: 1 out of 2 men think it’s possible to love more than one woman at a time.

9. Big and small: The biggest tree is the Californian giant redwood, while the smallest is the Dwarf willow.

10. If you think all foods spoil, well honey does not.
