A friend forwarded this email to me. Here goes....

"Stewardesses" [] is the longest word typed with only the left hand ...

And "lollipop" [] is the longest word typed with your right hand. (Bet you tried this out mentally, didn't you?)

No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver, or purple. [][]

[]
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 snail [] can sleep for three years. (I know some people that could do this too.!)

Almonds are a member of the peach [] family.

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.

and the goldfish memory thing, parang busted na sa mythbuster....

[niky]

No, taunt is "tawnt"... month is "muhnth".

What the heck is abstemious? I already knew facetious (tried figuring out the aeiou thing myself before) and "The quick brown fox..." (use this for typing practice).

Hmmm... from the internet... oo nga, they busted that Goldfish myth.
