Interesting Facts…

More fun facts….
Hmm…. Hope that you will find them interesting….

1. If you spell all the numbers and try to find letter “A” you will have to count to thousAnd. Did you know that: 111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321 Weird huh?

 

2. It is the internet myth that the name of the popular Scottish game Golf stands for “Gentlemen Only, Ladies Forbidden.” The word golf originates form medieval Scottish and Dutch dialects. Back in a day before the creation of dictionaries, there was no standardized spelling of any given word. So it is believed that word golf originates from Dutch word “kolf” or “kolve” which meant “club.” Later on old Scots dialect transformed the word into “gouf” or “golve .”

 

3. Astronauts are not allowed to eat beans before they go into spacebecause passing wind in a spacesuit damages them. (Not to mention the other drawbacks to farting in such a confined space….)

Cheers!
