Learn Something New Every Day
“Star Fish have no brains”Whilst on Twitter yesterday, I followed a link via @Retinart (Alex Charchar) regarding a great new site aptly named Learn Something New Every Day.
It has weird and wonderful facts that are illustrated and updated daily. Here are 10 such facts from the site, with amusingly simple yet effective and colourful images. Don’t rely on these facts for accuracy, but I’m sure they’re true
“The brain is 80% water”
“4000 year old cheese was found in Egyptian Tombs”
“Jim Henson developed an allergy to fleece”
“Golf is the only sport to be played on the Moon”
“90 percent of the Worlds species are yet to be discovered”
“penguins are able to jump 2 metres high”
“Shakespeare was dyslexic”
“A Rubiks Cube has 43250032744898856000 possible positions”
“Sherlock Holmes never said Elementary, my dear Watson”
