1) The Piano was originally called the Forte-Piano because it was the 1st string instrument to be able to change dynamics depending on how hard you hit the key, It was shortened to just piano Isn't it Piano-Forte? |

Fact: A Pennys Worth of Metal
From 1909 through 1982, the US penny was made from 95% copper and 5% zinc. As of October 2009, the metal in one pre-1983 penny can be melted and sold for 1.8 cents. The scrap value for pennys from 1982 and earlier is more than the coin is worth as currency.
Fact: 111,111,111 x 111,111,111
111,111,111 multiplied by 111,111,111 equals 12,345,678,987,654,321, which is a palindromic number.

In Pixar movies, characters always blink one eye after the other, and not both of them together.

I could have sworn it's pianoforte! Pianoforte is the Italian word for piano, not the official first word for it. |

if you where to drill down to the center of the earth and went down far enough you would stop going down and keep going up yet still in the same direction
however before you even made it 6 mile below the crust the sheer heat would kill you
yet if we put the money into it to develop a magma submarine you would still get stuck on the outer core laying on top of solid liquid Iron and unable to get back to the surface because of the immense gravitational pull and pressure above you!

One block of swiss cheese is bound to have many holes...
Two blocks of cheese is more cheese than one block, but more holes.
The more hole means the less cheese... thus two blocks of cheese is less swiss cheese than one block.

8.French Fries are not French, they're Belgian. There is actually a huge world-wide debate on that, it has been going on for years. No one knows for sure their country of origin. 8) "I am." is the shortest complete sentence in the English language. WRONG! It is actually "Go." |

Most of the world's steel is milled and sold by Hyundai, the same company that makes shipping crates and modestly priced cars of questionable quality.
