  • There are at least 6700 languages in the world.
  • Ostrich racing is a popular sport in South Africa. (Although it’s not too popular with ostriches!)
  • Only four words in the English language end in “-dous”: tremendous, horrendous, stupendous, and hazardous.
  • Tigers have striped skin, not just striped fur.
  • Cats average 16 hours sleep a day – more than any other mammal.
  • Every time you clean something you just make something else dirty.
  • Crocodiles, though surprisingly fast when running on land, are not agile. So if you ever find yourself chased by one, remember to run in a zigzag. You’ll beat him every time. Maybe.
  • If you rip a hole in a net, there are actually fewer holes than there were before
  • 100 years ago everyone owned a horse, and only the rich had cars. Today, everyone has cars, and only the rich own horses.
