          A jiffy is an actual unit of time for 1/100th of a second. Thus the saying, I will be there in a jiffy.

          Bamboo plants can grow up to 36 inches in a day.

          Construction workers hard hats were first invented and used in the building of the Hoover Dam in 1933.

          It takes eight and a half minutes for light to get from the sun to earth.

          Japan uses the most energy per year than any other country.

          Natural gas does not have any odor. In order to detect a gas leak, some gas companies add a chemical that smells similar like rotten eggs.

          The first domain name ever registered was Symbolics.com on March 15, 1985.

          more than one but a few for you to ponder over.

              There are three golf balls sitting on the moon.

              The average pencil can draw a line 35 miles long.

              In the average lifetime, a human will grow 590 miles of hair.

                  The ?spot? on the 7-Up logo comes from its inventor who had red eyes. He was an albino.

                    A pin head of material from the core of the sun will emit enough heat to kill a person 1,000 miles away.

                    Loud speakers only convert about 4% of the power into sound.

                    Viewed from the southern hemisphere, the man in the moon is upside down.
