yes do it please if you have time :p
1) What is the only food that doesn't spoil or rot?
Liquid sweeteners do not have quite the longevity of dry sugars. Honey, cane syrup, molasses, corn syrup and maple syrup may crystallize or mold during long storage. These syrups are chemically not as simple as table sugar and therefore lose flavor and otherwise break down over a long period of time.
2) Titanic' cost more than the Titanic itself!
Budget: $200,000,000 (estimated)
The ship cost an unprecedented $7.5 million to build—that translates to about $172 million today. The film cost an unprecedented $250 million and has grossed more than $600 million domestically and more than $1.8 billion worldwide.
3) Google was originally going to be called 'BackRub'
As computer science graduate students at Stanford University, Sergey and Larry began collaborating on Google's prototype: a search engine called BackRub that began as a research project. Where did BackRub come from, you ask? The name refers to the search engine's
technology, which used backlinks to ascertain a given site's importance.
4) The yo-yo was originally used as a weapon
In the Philippines around 1500, the Yo-Yo was a weapon. It consisted of a four pound stone attached to a rope about 20 feet long. Tribesmen used it in two ways. When hunting, they stood off to one side, held one end of the rope and threw the rock towards the legs of an animal. The rope became tangled around the animals legs, and with a tug, the hunter brought the animal down. Against enemies, the stones would be dropped on their heads. The tribesmen would quickly recover the stones, ready for a second blow if necessary.
5) We can understand any messed up sentence as long as the last and first letters of words are in correct places
Just digged more and found that everything belongs in one book. I guess it's worth buying if you're interested.
