...many things that I've never thought about!
Thank you for the random facts!
Amazing facts!!
The pangram that I remember (in Portuguese, before the letters K, W and Y were added to the alphabet) is:
“Jovem craque belga prediz falhas no taxi” – literal translation: “Young Belgian star predicts failures in taxi” . : )
Since I have been into baking for a few weeks now, and considering I have all the ingredients for this cake, I will make it tonight. It’s only 8.20 pm!!
Have a pleasant weekend!
Jan,
What a fun and fascinating read to kick off the weekend! These facts are absolutely intriguing—I had no idea about the sheer number of spiders per acre or that goldfish could change color based on their environment. And yes, I definitely had to check the "quick brown fox" sentence; it’s always an interesting tidbit for typists and language enthusiasts alike! It’s little gems like these that make your blog a delightful discovery. Thanks for the virtual slice of Italian Lemon Cake, it sounds deliciously refreshing! Have a fantastic weekend, and keep these interesting posts coming!

That alphabet sentence is amazing. 69 years on this planet and I'd never read such a thing.
Thanks for the amusement.
Geniales datos. Te mando un beso.
Oh my gosh one million ants. These were fun. I never knew that about the ants.
Yikes - that's too many spiders, and too many ants too... :)
I never knew that about gold fish. So interesting.
Love these facts and yummy cake! -Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
I knew the last fact. That lemon cake looks GOOD.
I did not have the almond flour that particular day - Oct 24, 2019. But I do have two packages of this flour today. And I did make the cake. Delicious!!! : )
Knew the one about the letters in those words using every letter in the alphabet..
Amazing about the ants, we are truly outnumbered.
So long as the spiders stay outside, I'm happy.
The sentence “The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.” uses every letter of the alphabet.
I LOVE this and never knew it....
Thanks! I always thought it was a weird little sentence!

I really didn't need to know the spider fact!!! 🕷 🕸 🕷
Didn't need to check the alphabet sentence as we used that phrase when learning to touch type as it made us hit every key at least once.
Your fast facts are always so interesting to read
Interesting facts!
The cake looks yummy!
Have a wonderful weekend.
That lemon cake looks and sounds tasty. And no, I didn't check that sentence out, but I did think about it. :)
Eeek! Spiders! A sentence that uses every letter of the alphabet is called a pangram. Have a great weekend.
Fun post, but I could do without the spiders! Happy weekend!
I did not know all that but I do believe the ant one, every spring since we have lived here we get a lot of ants and I have to go around killing them and having ant traps.
Have a great weekend!
You're right, the days go by very quickly. Too fast!
The Italian lemon cake looks delicious.
What is Natvia? I don't know this name, I have to look for it on the Internet.
Have a nice Sunday.

Hello there and many thanks for your comment and question.
Natvia is a natural sweetener derived from both the stevia plant and monk fruit.

Those are so cool. I like the last sentence that uses all of the alphabet. I would love a slice or 2 of that Lemon Cake. Have a nice weekend.
Interesting facts.
I did know about all the letters being in that sentence. It was used when I was learning how to type in high school.

Hello Catarina
Many thanks for both your comments.
As you know I first posted this recipe back in 2019 (where do the years go?).
So pleased you were able to make the cake in 2024!
Thanks for sharing the Portuguese pangram.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
All the best Jan
Interesting facts! And yes I did check out the last one. :-)
That last one was the only one I knew!
Yes, I checked to see!
Muy interesantes esas curiosidades. El pastel de limón seguro que está muy bueno. Besos.
