Something to Think About.

            Only 15 out of 100 people are left handed!  Do you write with your left hand?  How normal are you?  No matter what age you are, you’re classified as normal.  Did you know more kids take a car to school than they do bus?  Over 57% of kids said they haven’t read a digital E- book.  Is technology taking over as quickly as we think?  Peanut butter mixed with jelly is the most popular sandwich combination.  Like peanut butter and fluff?  I guess you’re not as normal as you thought. 

            You hear people saying a human swallows 4 spiders in their sleep over their lifetime.  This myth has just been busted!  There is no scientific study to prove how many spiders we swallow in our sleep.  Maybe you don’t swallow any, maybe you swallow 4, or maybe you swallow 15!  Sharks kill over hundreds of people each year?  Incorrect!  Sharks kill nowhere near hundreds of people in a year; they don’t even kill that many people in a decade!  Here are 10 things more likely to kill you than a shark!  Tornadoes, bees, tree climbing, venomous snakes, dogs, lawn mowers, lightning strikes, hunting, fireworks, and earthquakes.  Crazy isn't it?    

               Did you know there were once 15,000 languages spoken on earth?  Now there are only 7,000.  Weird but true!  In the 1890’s the Wright Brothers designed bicycles before they did airplanes.  Only about 300 million people lived on this planet about 2,000 years ago; that’s less than the population of the United States right now!  In 1911, the Mona Lisa only became popular when it was stolen 400 years after it was painted.  The original Mona Lisa was never popular itself; its stolen identity was what made it popular.   The first candy cane in the 1600’s had no stripes!  Weird!  I hope I could entertain you with all of these interesting things about our planet.  I hope you learned something you didn't know before reading this blog post.  If not, sorry to waste your time.  For the last post this year, until next time, goodbye readers!  Have a great summer!
