I try not to miss your fun facts posts – there is always interesting to learn and I appreciate your posting them.
My daughter and I love interesting, quirky facts. Plus, being a librarian I enjoyed knowing that about Dreamt. I hadn’t thought about it before, but good to know.
I’m an avid frog lover. I loved the “Frogs cannot swallow without blinking.” tidbit.
I dreamt about frogs blinking with their eyes open. It kind of freaked me out..I woke up in a jiffy, headed to L.L. Bean HQ in Freeport, Maine – but first stopped off in Yarmouth at DeLorme Mapping to walk around the world 3 times 🙂
Too funny Andrew! Too funny! 🙂
Cool, I did not know any of those facts!
I didn’t know a jiffy was an actual measurement. Wow!
I love this sort of trivia! I am really good at Trivial Pursuit I wish you could post these every single day! The only one that I knew was about frogs!
