Good
morning Phoenix! Hope you all are staying dry and safe if you are in
the storm’s path, and that everyone is enjoying your weekend.
Thought I’d do something different this Saturday. How about some Wild Weekend Facts? Here we go…
• Carrots used to be purple. Purple was the norm, while yellow and white would appear in the wild. In the 17th Century, the colors morphed into the orange we know today. Purple carrots still exist, but they aren’t as sweet as orange ones.
• Cheese is the most commonly stolen food in the world. It’s in high demand, and costs are rising. It is small, and easy to conceal. Cheeses don’t contain anti-theft devices like some high priced items do.
• Fortune cookies are not Chinese. They were invented in the early 1900’s in San Francisco.
• Giraffes only need 5-35 minutes of sleep in a 24-hour period. They will achieve this by taking short naps throughout the day that last only a minute or two. As giraffes spend most of their time standing up, they will even sleep and give birth while standing.
• The National animal of Scotland is the Unicorn. It was believed that unicorns had immense strength.
• An octopus has three hearts. Two of them pump blood throughout the gills, and one pumps blood throughout the body. That one stops beating when an octopus swims, which explains why they prefer to crawl. It wears them out to swim.
• Honey is the only food that will never rot. The oldest sample of honey was found in an Egyptian tomb that dated back over 3000 years ago. It was still edible.
• Our peripheral vision is better at night.
• Each year, Southern California has about 10,000 earthquakes. Most are just too small to be felt.
• Mandarin is the most widely spoken language in the world. It is the official language of China and Taiwan, and is the first language of over 955 million people.
Have a fangtastic weekend everyone! <3 Brock V"""V
