त्रिविया BITS

Did you know that…

* the word "trivia" comes from the Latin "trivium" which is the place where three roads meet. People would gather and talk about all sorts of matters?

* the only food cockroaches won’t eat are cucumbers?

* banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour & if you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days, you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee?

* on average women speak 7000 words per day, where as men speak just over 2000?

* intelligent people have more zinc and copper in their hair ?

* your skin weighs twice as much as your brain?

* your hearing is less sharp after eating too much?

* if you take any number, double it, add 10, divide by 2, and subtract your original number, the answer will always be 5?

* the words silent and listen have the same letters. Santa and Satan do too?

* "Dreamt" is the only word in the English language to end in "mt”?
