Tuesday Ten

It's back! (:
I hope you all enjoyed yesterday's Music/Movie Monday (:

This week's Tuesday Ten is going to be 10 funfacts that you may not have known already... provided by different TV shows and websites. (:

  1. Mary, Queen of Scots's, croquet mallet was made of petrified narwhal's horn. She never lost a match.
  2. Dentists recommend the toothbrush to be kept at least 6 feet away from the toilet to avoid airborne particles resulting from a flush.... bet you'll want to go move that brush now, huh?
  3. On March 29th, 1886 Coca Cola was created. Coca Cola was created on my birthday. No wonder I love it so much.
  4. Each king in a deck of cards represents a great king from history. Spades - King David, clubs - Alexander the Great, hearts - Charlemagne, diamonds - Julius Caesar.
  5. Alaska has the highest percentage of people who walk to work.
  6. In colonial times, if there was ever a single male visitor to a family with unmarried daughters, the mothers would "sew" the man into his bed so he could not possibly get free in the night and take advantage of a daughter.
  7. The custom of shaking hands was originated to show the opposite party you were unarmed.
  8. February 1865 was the only month in recorded history not to have a full moon.
  9. Pilgrims at popcorn at the first Thanksgiving dinner. Yep, Charlie Brown was accurate!
  10. In Tokyo they sell toupees for dogs... And I thought clothes were ridiculous!

I hope you enjoyed this nonsense! (:
