Fun Friday Fact - hope you respond weekly to give us all a smile

[Heather Shay]

I thought after yet another LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG week it might be fun to relax and just tell fun things.

 

My FRIDAY FUN FACT - I learned that if you put your finger in your ear and move the finger up and down you will hear the sound the old Pac-Man machines made. I tried it and it made me smile. Hope it does especially for those old enough to remember Pac-Man.

SO a few fun facts for today:

 

 The original name for the search engine Google was Backrub. It was renamed Google after the googol, which is the number one followed by 100 zeros.

 

Wombats are the only animal whose poop is cube-shaped. This is due to how its intestines form the feces. The animals then stack the cubes to mark their territory. 

 

The oldest-known living land animal is a tortoise named Jonathan, who is 187 years old. He was born in 1832 and has lived on the island of St. Helena in the Atlantic Ocean since 1882. 

 

Hope your day goes wonderfully.
