At least the hair in your nose and ears will continue to grow for some time.

There are two words in the English language that have all five vowels in order: "abstemious" and "facetious".

This is simply not true. A newborn infant does not pop out with full-size adult eyeballs.

"At birth, the head and structures within it, such as the eyes and brain, are more developed in proportion to the rest of the body. The head and eyes increase in width by only 1.5 times up to the age of 5 years, and after that only a very small proportion more until early adulthood. So the eyes do grow slightly, probably only a matter of millimetres, and only up to age 5 or so."

loaf and lady both came from the same Old English root word "hlaf". Hlaf became loaf (originally bread) and hlafdige became lady (originally one who makes bread).

There is no such thing as the English royal family.

The Prince of Wales has never actually been Welsh in at least 500 years.

True, they were originally imported from Hannover I think.

There once was a Scottish King of England.

Sorry, What do you call the folks that live in Buckingham palace ?

A garbage bag does not work as a parachute when jumping off a house. That includes the second time as well.

did you know

that the number 43,046,721 is that largest number on a standard 8 digit calculator that can be square rooted 4 times and still equal a whole number

43,046,721 square root
= 6,571 square root
= 81 square root
= 9 square root
= 3

I have a ten digit calculator and for me the largest number is (((4^2)^2)^2)^2=4294967296

Third Grade teachers don't like it much when you mention "during" or "of" when they are lecturing that a preposition is "anything a rabbit can do to a hollow log".

The British royal family.

That in their only war, Canadian (British at the time..) troops burned the White House and also captured Detroit?

We gave Detroit back. Didn't want it.

Don't regret it either.
