While I was sorting out things yesterday, I came across a piece of paper with some very interesting (well I thought they were) facts - I'd obviously thought they were good enough to write down on the paper!!!
1) The pressure exerted by a rat's jaw is some 24,000 lbs and it can chew through plastic, dry wall and cinder block!!
2) In the 1960's the CIA implanted a microphone and radio transmitter into a cats skull, but just before it went on its mission - it got run over by a car!!
3) The fastest dog can run up to 45 mph and Usain Bolt, the world's fastest man can only run 27.8 mph
.
4) "It's raining cats and dogs" originates from the 17th century when heavy rainstorms left homeless cats and dogs floating down flooded streets.
There you are - some odd snippets to help pass 10 minutes!!!!
