So you think you know-it-all?

...but for the most part, I am awful with trivia.

What happened in/around Feb. 1865 is what I want to know? Was that some kind of portent for Robert E. Lee? LOL!

For the record, I knew that a crocodile cannot stick out his tongue, and that a butterfly tastes with its feet (so does a housefly). Must watch too much Animal Planet. I also knew about the quick brown fox, etc., and the words with no rhymes.

It'd be cool to see Niagra Falls frozen solid!

I knew about peaches/almonds; the ostrich eye/brain; sneezing with eyes closed; the "quick brown fox"; TYPEWRITER; and tigers having striped skin!...oh! and about the microwave/cholate bar connection!

.. and raise you a polar bears have black skin.

Oh, and their fur isn't white. Their hairs are actually clear hollow tubes filled with air.

But I still don't know everything. Bleh.

Alrite im sorry but, i have many old canadian bills, and the 2 Dollar bill, its a canadian flag on the parliament buildings, not the american one, it has 2 vertical lines and a symbol in the middle

I went to my drawer and pulled out an old Canadian Two Dollar Bill to see if, in fact, it was the American flag flying above our Parliament Buildings. I say old bill because the paper two was replaced by a coin a number of years ago, known as the Toonie. The one dollar coin has a loon on the back and is known as the Loonie, so yes, we have a Loonie and a Toonie, and everyone, even the mint, refer to them as such. So where was I... oh yes, the old two dollar bill.

The flag, is, in fact, the Canadian Maple Leaf, not the American flag. It is the only area of the bill that has pure red, and it is apparently in the proper pantone shade of the flag.

because I did not know any of it!! Lol. It hasn't hurt me so far so I guess I'll be alright!

AWESOME loved every word. Very enjoyable.
