But today for a change I thought let's have some midweek trivia! So here are ten strange but true facts! Did you know any of these facts?
Warner Bros cancelled “Home Alone” because they didn’t want to spend $14 million on it. 21st Century Fox continued the production, and the film grossed $476 million worldwide. This film was a family favourite in our house 😊
The Flintstones was the most profitable network cartoon franchise for 30 years, that’s before The Simpsons came along.
Eight of the ten largest statues in the world are of Buddhas
It took the creator of the Rubik’s Cube, Erno Rubik, one month to solve the cube after creating it; as of June 2018, the world record is 4.22 seconds.
People don’t sneeze in their sleep due to their brain shutting down the reflex.
However, if you sneeze while traveling at 60 mph, your eyes are closed for an average of 50 feet.
The brain is our fattiest organ and is composed of nearly 60% fat.
Your nose is always visible to you, but your brain ignores it through a process called Unconscious Selective Attention.
I don't know about predicting the future with cheese,
but the mention of cheese made me think of this recipe for
Cheese-Crusted Omelette

...I didn't know these, but a few didn't surprise me.
I'll have to have omelette for breakfast tomorrow.
I enjoyed your facts today Jan...brain is fat, Home Alone, and sneezing are my favourites!
Ruica receta y no sabia los datos que nos cuenta. Te mando un beso.
One funny movie! Well done.
Wow, there are a lot of interesting facts I was unfamiliar with. Thanks for enlightening me, Jan.
Most of these facts were new to me - but I am not suprised about the statues of Buddha. Some of them are very beautiful too.
Some very strange facts there, who knew that you could predict the future with cheese.
Very interesting I didn't know any of those facts, the omelette looks yummy.
Interesting facts! The omelette looks yummy. Take care, enjoy your day!
I don't think I knew any of these, so thanks for today's dose of "things I would never know without blogging!"
Interesting facts.
I think my brain treats my body mirror image like a nose...selects to take off several pounds. :)
I enjoyed reading all these fascinating facts Jan, and the recipe :) Thank you!
Always nice to read about facts I didn't know about. Have a great day today.
Nope didn't know any of those things. However, have now added them to my "semi-useless information for use at awkward times" mental file. Thank you!
I didn't know that either.
Nice curiosities ❤
I did not know a single one of these but after reading them I'm being bugged by noticing that my nose is there! Hopefully that won't last long!
This was a fun read. Thanks!
Interesting facts and some I didn't know.
I did not know all of that!!!
This was fun to read! I was a HUGE fan of The Flintstones when I was a kid. I watched every episode several times. And cheese-crusted omelette! Yes, please!
I love reading oddball facts...I had never heard of Marmite. Or the predicting the future with cheese. Well, I had not heard of any of them. I thought I had put a cartoon on my blog but I cannot find it. It is one you would laugh at I think. It is a rhino painting pictures...and in every one her horn is in the photo so she could not ignore it.
Hahaha!! Cheese predictions sound silly, but as a cheese lover, I'm game!! Thanks for the fun facts, Jan. I love this kind of post!
Fun Facts, warner bros. is probably kicking themselves for not finishing the film.
I didn't realize we don't sneeze at night but I had heard about the sneezing while driving and ever since I take my foot off the gas pedal when I feel a sneeze coming on :)
This film (Home alone) was a family favourite in our house too. Thanks for the article. Greetings.
I enjoyed all your fun facts...I enjoy Home Alone, and got both DVD's this year to become a holiday tradition for myself to enjoy! I have sneezing "fits" as I call it, where I can sometimes sneeze 20 times straight...it's very painful to be honest!!
Cheese to me belongs in the omelette ~ not fortune telling ~ LOL ~ Great trivia ~ didn't know ~ Xo
Wishing you love and laughter in your days,
