WE DID NOT LEARN THIS IN SCHOOL
'Dreamt' is the only English word that ends in the letters 'mt'. ? (Are you doubting this?) 
Our eyes  are always the same size from birth, but our nose and ears  never stop growing.
The sentence: 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog' uses every letter of the alphabet. (Now, you KNOW you're going to try this out for accuracy, right?)
The words 'racecar,'  'kayak' and 'level'  are the same whether they are read left to right or right to left (palindromes) .. (Yep, I knew you were going to 'do' this one.)
There are only four words in the English language which end in 'dous': tremendous, horrendous, stupendous, and hazardous. (You're not doubting this, are you?)
There are two words in the English language that have all five vowels in order: 'abstemious' and 'facetious.' (Yes, admit
it, you are going to say, a e i o u)
TYPEWRITER  is the longest word that can be made using the letters only on one row of the keyboard. (All you typists are going to test this out)
A cat has 32 muscles in each ear.
A goldfish  has a memory span of three seconds. (Some days that's about what my memory span is.)
A 'jiffy' is an actual unit of time for 1/100th of a second. 
A shark  is the only fish that can blink with both eyes.
A snail  can sleep for three years. (I know some people that could do this too.!)
Almonds are a member of the peach  family.
An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.
(I know some people like that also)
Babies are born without kneecaps. They don't appear until the child reaches 2 to 6 years of age..
February 1865 is the only month in recorded history not to have a full moon. 
In the last 4,000 years, no new animals have been domesticated.
I
Leonardo Da Vinci invented the scissors
Peanuts are one of the ingredients of dynamite! 
Rubber bands last longer when refrigerated.
The average person's left hand does 56% of the typing.
The cruise liner, QE 2,  moves only six inches for each gallon of diesel that it burns.
The microwave  was
invented after a researcher walked by a radar tube and a chocolate bar melted in his pocket. (Good thing he did that.)
The winter of 1932 was so cold that Niagara Falls  froze completely solid.
There are more chickens  than people in the world.
Winston Churchill  was born in a ladies' room during a dance.
Women blink  nearly twice as much as men.
The above two Photos are of the two rivers flowing in southern part near Cape Town , South Africa .
These two river flow together and finally settle down in the Ocean. The taste of one river water is extremely sweet whereas the taste of other river is extremely opposite (that is bitter) but they never mix. There is no physical barrier in between these rivers which stops them from mixing together but it is the will & order of God.
This came to know in the starting of 20th century only where as Almighty God has mentioned the nature of these two rivers in Holy Bible & Holy Quran 1400 yea?s back .
Now you know more than you did before!!
