    With modern day technology, it would take astronauts about 260 days in a rocket to land on Mars.

    "Tug of War" was once an official Olympic sport.

    According to NASA, the moon smells like gunpowder.

    A ducks quack doesnt echo, and no one knows why

    If you travel across Russia, you will cross seven time zones

    Adult elephants cant jump

    Its impossible to sneeze with your eyes open

    Butterflies range in size from a tiny 1/8 inch to a huge almost 12 inches

    The Guinness Book of Records holds the record for being the book most often stolen from Libraries

    I did know that duck quacks dont echo as there is a tv series called that.
    The sneezing with your eyes open is false, it has been proved possible in the above tv series

    That's a myth. They do, it's just easy to confuse the echo as part of the quack itself.

    Interesting. With the bacteria and the fact that your mouth is wet, I would have thought it would take longer than other body parts to heal.

    Any skin in the mouth is thin so takes less time to heal over. Saliva also acts like an antiseptic to prevent infection within the mouth.


    The cornea in the eye is also the quickest healing body part.
