I didn't know that !


Sharing five random facts ...

Will you be saying, I didn't know that?

1. The first movie ever to put out a motion-picture soundtrack was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

2. At birth, a baby panda is smaller than a mouse.

3. The Lego Group is the world’s most powerful brand. There are more Lego Mini-figures than there are people on Earth. (One of our Grandsons has quite a few!)

4. There is an island called “Just Enough Room,” where there’s just enough room for a tree and a house.

5. Standing around burns calories. On average, a 150-pound person burns 114 calories per hour while standing and doing nothing. ( see some unusual ways to burn calories here )

Did you know any of these facts?

  2. I didn't know that! None of them...
    I don't know that I want to be on that island. Seems any storm and you'd have water in the house. :)

  6. I must admit I didn't know any of those facts either. I find the tiny island fact most interesting. I,of course, went to look it up on-line and the house is vulnerable to periodic floods.)

  12. Fun post. I know a few of them.
    Waiting in line at the checkout, I tell folks sometimes that it's okay for me to wait because I'm burning calories. I always try to let a person with less items go before me.
