fun quizzes For You

Did you know that the US has nearly 60 million dogs? That's one dog for every five people. Plenty of dog poo to pick up and methane gas floating about the place. And if you're in Pittsburgh then you just have to 'redd up' the place of poo instead clean it. 'Redd' and 'Clean' mean exactly the same thing, by the way. And in case you didn't know, you can identify your lost dog from a noseprint. Works as good for canines as a finger print does for people. And if you can use the telephone in Telephone, Texas to phone home.

You can also use the nearly 300 million cell phones that are now in the US. If that's one cell phone per person, then even babies have cell phones in the US. Men blink two times less often than women, by the way.

Did you know that swans are royal property in England? Yep, that's absolutely true. Every single swan that's ever hatched belongs to the reigning English monarch, in this case Queen Elizabeth II. Pigs can't raise their necks to look at the sky and have never seen a cloud.

In case you've got insomnia, take pity on the humble honeybee: it never sleeps. And fish scales don't just end up in the trash, they're also an ingredient in most lipsticks. So it may be a good idea to save the scales for the lipstick lab. Are you a fan of cats, by any chance? If you are, then you might be proud to know that cats beat dogs as the most popular of all pets in the United States. They beat budgies and parakeets too. Of all domesticated animals in the world, the absolute dumbest is the turkey.

Everyone wants to get rich quick these days so you'd better save seawater from now on. Why? Because every drop has about a billion atoms of gold. Whales need the water to send out their echoes. If their echo system fails, they'll die. A malfunctioning toilet once sunk a German World War II submarine in the ocean. If you swim in a pool in Phoenix, Arizona, you might find this fact interesting - every swimming pool in Phoenix collects 20 pounds of dust annually. That's a lot of cleaning to do in your pool!

You could use the Gulf Stream to send messages in a bottle. Your message would travel 4 miles in an hour. Make sure you cork the bottle so the paper doesn't get soaked. And since we're on the topic of water, did you know that toilet paper was only used from the 1857 when it was invented.

If you think that wars have killed many Americans, you're dead wrong. Automobile accidents have killed more citizens of the United States than all the soldiers who perished in every single war ever fought by the US. You might want to make a note of that the next time you drive to work. All the world's people could live on the land demarcated by the state of Texas. That's a sure tight squeeze! And if you thought that the world population is growing at an alarming rate, you're right. Because in 1800 the number of cities in the world with a population of 100,000 was only 50.

Iceland is one cold place and it consumes more Coke per capita than any other country on earth. And finally, the cartoon celebrity Mickey Mouse received 800,000 fan letters in 1933. None of which it read. And you thought cartoons were dumb?
