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?

I knew about the pandas but the others were new to me. Thank you.

Mari said...

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. :)

Tom said...

...the short answer is NO!

Well they are interesting!

Granny Marigold said...

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.)

Christine said...

Enjoyed these facts!

linda said...

I did not know any of the facts. So good to read more about them on google.

jabblog said...

I can't imagine living on an island that small.
Lego is such a popular brand. We have loads from children and grandchildren.

These are interesting facts, thanks for sharing.
Take care, have a wonderful weekend.

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.

CJ Kennedy said...

I knew about Snow White, but didn't know the other facts especially burning calories by standing up.

Jenn Jilks said...

I knew a couple of them!

Jeanie said...

I think I knew about Snow White -- but the panda freaks me out!

Iris Flavia said...

Interesting stuff and no, I had no idea of any of this, thank and a happy weekend to you!

HappyK said...

I knew 1 and 2.
I'm sure the calorie one isn't true for me!!! :)

Chatty Crone said...

Interesting - I think I knew about Legos, the Panda, and Snow White's movie - but I had forgotten so it was rediscovering them again. The other two no - thanks!

José Antonio Sánchez Rumí said...

Well, five anecdotes that I didn't know, the one about Snow White I admit that I did, but the others I didn't and you always learn.
Happy weekend.
Best regards

I knew about the pandas and Snow White, but not the rest! Valerie

Pam said...

I knew none of those facts. I knew the Pandas came into the world really tiny but not that tiny. Thanks for the info.
