By every_mothers_n...

1. A rat can last longer without water than a camel.

2.A raisin dropped in a glass of fresh champagne will bounce up and down continuously from the bottom of the glass to the top.

3.On average, 12 newborns will be given to the wrong parents daily! (That explains a few mysteries... .)

4.Bats always turn left when exiting a cave!

5.The very first bomb dropped by the Allies on Berlin in World War II killed the only elephant in the Berlin Zoo.

6.Bruce Lee was so fast that they actually had to s-l-o-w the film down so you could see his moves. That's the opposite of the norm.

7.The first CD pressed in the US was Bruce Springsteen' s "Born in the USA."

8.The phrase "rule of thumb" is derived from an old English law which stated that you couldn't beat your wife with anything wider than your thumb.

9.Charlie Chaplin once won third prize in a Charlie Chaplin look-alike contest.

10.The Guinness Book of Records itself holds the record for being the book most often stolen from public libraries.
