Just for Fun!

  • Isaac Asimov is the only author to have a book in every Dewey-decimal category.
  • It takes a lobster approximately seven years to grow to be one pound.
  • It takes about a half a gallon of water to cook macaroni, and about a gallon to clean the pot.
  • It was discovered on a space mission that a frog can throw up. The frog throws up its stomach first, so the stomach is dangling out of its mouth. Then the frog uses its forearms to dig out all of the stomach's contents and then swallows the stomach back down again.
  • It was once against the law to have a pet dog in a city in Iceland.
  • It was once against the law to slam your car door in a city in Switzerland.
  • It's against the law to burp, or sneeze in a certain church in Omaha, Nebraska.
  • It's against the law to catch fish with your bare hands in Kansas.
  • It's impossible to sneeze with your eyes open. (Don't try this at home!)
  • Ivory bar soap floating was a mistake. They had been overmixing the soap formula causing excess air bubbles that made it float. Customers wrote and told how much they loved that it floated, and it has floated ever since.
