Stuff you didn't know you didn't know :)

Bear with me as I share a silly email I received this weekend...

Every day more money
is printed for Monopoly than the U.S.
Treasury.



Men can read smaller
print than women can; women can hear better.



Coca-Cola was
originally green.




It is impossible to lick
your elbow.




The cost of raising
a medium-size dog to the age of eleven:
$ 16,400



Intelligent people
have more zinc and copper in their hair..




Q. Half of all
Americans live within 50 miles of what?

A. Their birthplace




In Shakespeare's
time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes.
When you pulled on the ropes, the mattress tightened,
making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the
phrase...'Goodnight , sleep tight'



In English pubs, ale
is ordered by pints and quarts... So in old England , when
customers got unruly, the bartender would yell at them 'Mind
your pints and quarts, and settle down.'

It's where we get
the phrase 'mind your P's and Q's'



Many years ago in
England ,

pub frequenters had a whistle baked into the rim, or handle

of their ceramic cups. When they needed a refill ,
they used the whistle to get some service. 'Wet your whistle'
is the phrase inspired by this practice.

Now, how have any of us survived until now not knowing those things? :P
Happy Monday! Let some silly in today!
