Worthless Wisdom for the Week!

Did you know………
Most lipstick contains fish scales!
No piece of square dry paper can be folded more than 7 times in half!
The sloth (a mammal) moves so slowly that green algae can grow undisturbed on its fur!
A cockroach can live about 9 days with its head cut off - it dies from starvation!
Bats always turn left when exiting a cave!
The fear of vegetables is called Lachanophobia!..
Apples are more efficient than caffeine in keeping people awake in the mornings!
The opposite sides of a dice cube always add up to seven!
A polar bear's skin is black. Its fur is not white, but actually clear.
No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver or purple. 
Tigers have striped skin, not just striped fur. 
A dragonfly has a lifespan of 24 hours. 
On average, people fear spiders more than they do death. 
Polar bears are left-handed. 

Just for fun we thought we would include these little known 'facts'.  We have no idea if they really are true but they sound pretty cool.  There are a whole lot of ideas here to try out if the Science or Maths department wants to give it a go and we can visualise a class in folding paper for number 2 on the list - although I think Mythbusters beat us on that one.  If you like this, we may make it a regular post.

Have a great weekend, folks and don't forget to leave us comments.
