Things we didn't know

Every week I look forward to Jon Howard's installment of 10 things we didn't know before the __th week of ____ borrowed from BBC's Magazine Monitor. I don't know about you, but I'm a sucker for random facts, something I could play trivia with my nephews & nieces later. It's so amazing what we would have discovered: that elephants kiss, Hitler had bad table manners, Barack Obama's speechwriter is only 27 years old, mosquitoes mate in about 10 seconds and so much more.

If you do have the time, I suggest you should start reading Jon's blog or BBC's Magazine Monitor, whichever you find the most convenient to you. If you have a penchant for random facts like I do, that is. (Photo from mongrel mind)
