Lots of stuff you didn’t know!

03/01/2007

I love the BBC’s 100 Things We Didn’t Know Last Year articles. Always informative and interesting, like how birds now rap and not sing.

I’m not sure if all the information is true (Average person in the world sends 55 greeting cards a year? Get outta here!?!), but it’s still worth a peek.

And to add to that, here are 33 Things You Didn’t Know Had Names. Bad sentence, but I didn’t name it.

Add 3 more to those 33 -

Panspermia: the idea that life on Earth originated on another planet.

Pediculosis: an infestation of head lice.

Misfeasance: o carry out a legal act illegally.

Yay. It looks like my year is starting out on a pretty good note.
