1. Mr Potatohead was the first toy ever advertised on TV.
2. The potato is about 80% water.
3. In 1995, potato plants were taken into space with the space shuttle Columbia. This was the first time any food was ever grown in space.
4. The world’s largest potato weighed more than eight kilos according to the Guinness Book of World Records. That’s enough for 73 lots of medium fries at McDonald's.
But I only order large fries? So how many would I get?
ReplyDelete:-) hehe nice facts ;)
ReplyDeleteHere is a fact, is pointless, but in some ways actually interesting :)
Dream is a semi-conscious state where we have absolutely no control over our thoughts and expressions (unless we master lucid dreaming). Did you know that most of us spend six years or more of our lifetime dreaming? Research proves that all of us dream at least twice or more in our sleep though we may not remember when we get up. In 5 minutes of waking, half of our dream is forgotten and within 10 minutes, almost all dreams are forgotten. People who are blind from birth too dream. It is just that the dreams of these individuals are formed by other sense such as the touch, smell, sound and taste. During roman era some dreams were even discussed and interpreted in the senate as the dream was considered to be a God sent message for the mankind. Lucid dreams are considered those dreams where person can take full or partial control of their dreams. Most important fact in order to be aware that we are dreaming is practice. Writing down and keeping track of your dreams is very important. Second thing is noticing signs or triggers that can help us stay aware that we are in dreaming state. Once we start dreaming lucidly we could control the imaginary experiences in the dream environment. This is extremely important for people that have nightmares. Interesting facts is that our body is paralyzed during our sleep probably to prevent the body from acting out dreams.
Oh and I found another one about "Indigo Children". Made me chuckle when I read the title and then it was actually quite interesting, however I don't think all of this related to Indi...because I am extremely sure she does not have ADD (!!)
ReplyDeleteIndigo Children Facts
factsThere are theories that there is a group of children with special abilities called Indigo Children. Concept based on the Nancy Ann Tappe book believes that children are born with a biological connection to their own spirituality. It is said that they are born after 1995, but some consider that starting point could be even 1980's. They have affinity to rocks and stones. The indigo children are known to have higher sensitivity hence are highly allergic to foreign substances. These children may have intuitive abilities, psychic or telepathic traits. These children have heightened emotions. They are usually loners and strong willed. Most of such children are known to be right brain dominated. Most indigo children are creative. These children have a strong spiritual inclination. The indigo child has superior healing capabilities. Most of these children have amazing sense of balance. Skeptics believe that Indigo children have attention deficit disorder (ADD) combined with hyperactivity and that parents like to believe that their kids are special.
How many large fries? 52. :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, if I ever have an indigo child who dreams about potatoes in a space shuttle, I'll have it call covered. Maybe you should be writing a guest post! :-)
