In space, astronauts cannot cry properly, because there is no gravity, so the tears can't flow down their faces!

Do they flow up?

Leonardo da Vinci could write with one hand and draw with the other at the same time.

Eggsra, eggstra, read all about it:

A lot goes into an egg: The hen must eat 4 pounds of feed to make a dozen eggs.
To produce one egg, it takes a hen 24-26 hours, and to do so, she requires 5 oz. of food and 10 oz. of water. Thirty minutes later she starts all over again.

Eggs were colored, blessed, exchanged and eaten as part of the rites of spring long before Christian times.

At the time of the French Revolution, the French already knew 685 different ways of preparing eggs.

White shelled eggs are produced by hens with white feathers and ear lobes. Brown shelled eggs are produced by hens with red feathers and red ear lobes. There is no difference in nutrition between white and brown eggs.

Great, but could he walk and chew gum at the same time? Or rub his head and pat his stomach?

Quite appropriate, with Easter coming.

Oh, and you reminded me to paint the eggs red! Thank you!

More egg facts:

A fresh egg will sink in water while an older egg will stand up. As the egg gets older the air space in the egg increases causing it to float.

A cloudy white is a sign of freshness, not age, because of a high carbon dioxide content when the egg is laid.

To tell if an egg is raw or hard-cooked, spin it! If the egg spins easily, it is hard-cooked, if it wobbles, it is raw.

Eggs are placed in their cartons large end up to keep the air cell in place and the yolk centered.

Eggs age more in one day at room temperature than in one week in the refrigerator. Eggs can be kept refrigerated in their carton for at least 4 to 5 weeks beyond the pack date.

The stringy piece of material in the egg is not an embryo but rather a special protein called chalazae which acts as a shock absorber for the yolk so it doesn't break

Is there any other way??

I guess 24% prefer a little tail

Each year, U.S. manufacturers produce more than 16 billion jelly beans for Easter -- that's enough to completely fill a plastic Easter egg 89 feet high and 60 feet wide (about the height of a nine-story office building)

Yes. I eat the nose first...

Ouch! I guess your bunnies don't smell...LOL

It's nearer to the eye, which has the candy.... there is a strategy to this.

Ah, so you're after eye candy, are you?

Pysanka is often taken to mean any type of decorated egg, but it specifically refers to an egg created by the written-wax batik method. Several types of decorated eggs are seen in the Ukrainian tradition, and these vary throughout the regions of the Ukraine.

Pysanky (from pysaty, "to write") are raw eggs created with the wax-resist method (batik). The designs are "written" in hot wax with a stylus or a pin-head. Wooden eggs and beaded eggs are often referred to as "pysanky" because they mimic the decorative style of pysanky in a different medium.

That was a real gem, thanks luv1

Thank you hun I love this sort of stuff. I'm a fan of the QI shows. It's just brilliant find ing out that we know nothing

And in keeping with the whole easter theme, here's a another queston.

What is the number of the beast?

Its not 666. It is infact 616. In 2005 a new translation of the earliest known copy of the book of revelations clearly shows it to be 616 not 666. The 1,700 year old papyrus was recovered from a rubbish dump in Oxyrhynchus in Egypt and deciphered by a palaeographical research team from the university of Birmingham led by Professor David Parker.

Also. How many sheep were there on Noahs ark? If you say 2, your wrong. It was 7 or 14.

Genesis 7:2 "Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of the beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.

And sheep are clean....But how that works I have not idea....7? One of each? What's the 7th sheep supposed to do while the others mate? Film it?
