"I’m sorry to have kept you waiting...

[1kiwigirl]

...but I’m afraid my walk has become rather sillier recently."

Hello!

So it's been a while since i've posted here, but I somehow have started feeling like I should post more. Lit is a bit addictive, especially the people, and a few of the ones I used to know have disappeared off to other people, other places, and just generally other things.

However, this isn't a sob story, because who can be sad when there are silly walks to be walked? I like (reasonably) intelligent conversation about pretty much anything (but moments of silliness are definitely acceptable too ), sunshine, books, movies and weird and entirely useless facts. A group of flamingos for instance, is called a flamboyance. Can anyone beat that?

Thomas Edison, the inventor of the lightbulb, was actually afraid of the dark.

A crayon can be lit on fire and burn for a half hour.

I did in fact know that one!

Did you ever light crayons and then make wax pictures? I don't think i've ever left them lit to see how long they last for. Do short crayons last as long as longer crayons?


New random fact... elephants can't jump. But then, neither can sloths, rhinos or hippopotamuses.

What better inspiration to invent something?

How do they know what dog treats really taste like? Is there some poor person picked to try them out?

Heard this before many times. But always makes me think.

I worked for such a company once, and, yes, they taste their products...literally eat their own dog food

I'm not sure if i should be thanking you or not for clearing that up! Good to know at least, that the dogs are eating something tasty. Do they do it for cat food too?

One of my favorite bands come from the land of the kiwis! Welcome back to Lit.

Now i'm intrigued... which band?

Hello to you too!


Kiwi-related interesting fact: it is in fact, the only bird in the world with nostrils at the end of its beak.

I hope everyone is having a good start to the week

I didn't know, and it will probably stay in my brain for the rest of my life, my brain is annoying that way. I remember nonsense and forget the important stuff.

my week has been ok, would be better without work but gotta pay the bills.

how's your week going?

Fritos Corn Chips can be used as a fire starter... or as a candle wick.
Eat your corn chips by corn-chip light, maybe, eh?

Well no one expects the Spanish Inquisition!!! How do you like your Spam????

In your car, the little petrol pump picture on your fuel gauge, has a handle on the side.
Whichever side that handle is on, is the side your fuel cap is on.

I guess I'm one of the people who never worked that out, which is why most have arrows with them now

"Bookkeeper" is the only word in English that has 3 consecutive double letters (none of them a DD )

I think, more than anything, this puts me off eating corn chips. If a fire-swallower ate corn chips and then did their fire-swallowing thing, would the corn chips catch fire?

I like my spam with green eggs and ham. Luckily the Spanish Inquisition do not, so they stay away.

I love the image of giraffes standing on each others backs, making a true (albeit wobbly) tower of giraffes.

I am also one of the people that did not know that. How hard is it to walk around to car to look? I'm going to have to look next time I go for a drive.

That's impressive. I think 'bookkeeper' is my new favourite word. Although I do also like 'slugabed', which is exactly how I am feeling this morning.

If you scratch your back, your front gets itchy.

Random useless fact: if you were standing on the surface of the Sun, you'd weigh about 5,000 pounds (~ 2,200 kilos). Of course, you wouldn't feel nearly that heavy, since you would have been vaporized long before you could step onto the scale to weigh yourself...but if your atoms wanted to keep up any weight-loss regimen your corporeal self had started before immolating yourself in the name of science, you'd lose about 27 pounds on the sun for every pound you lost on Planet Earth.

Good morning Sciwi It's a beautiful day... i just love summer days when i wake up to blue sky and birds chirping. Do you have any plans for this lovely day?

I just tried this, and my back just itchier! Perhaps I am broken.

New weightloss craze: go to the sun, lose weight 27 times faster!
