Did you know... that, as strange as it may seem, the reason a scratch stops an itch is because you're hurting yourself. 😱
An itch is an irritation of the nerve endings close to the surface of the skin; scratching causes a pain which overrides the itching. If scratching has removed an external cause of the itch - dust or a loose thread, for example - it won't return. If the cause is internal - a mosquito bite or allergic reaction - the itch most likely will return. 😀

Did you know... that Iranians have never called their country Persia; only outsiders have, since the days when the ancient Greeks coined the term from the Iranian province of Pars. To Iranians, the country has always been Iran, though they didn't get touchy about it until the 1930s, when it began appearing in movie newsreels.

Ben Franklin wanted the wild turkey,not the bald eagle to be our national symbol?He wrote,in a letter to his daughter,For my own part i wish the bald eagle had not been chosen the representive of our country.He is a bird of bad moral character.He does not get his living honestly.You may have seen him perched on some dead tree near the river,where,to lazy to fish for himself,he watches the labor of the fishing hawk:and when that dilligent bird has at length taken a fish,and is bearing it to his nest for the support of his mate and young ones,the bald eagle pursues him and takes it from him...the turkey is a much more respectable bird and withal a true original native of America.

The town I live in was the first American military base west of the Mississippi river.
No one knows exactly how many Philippine Islands there are, but from the northernmost isle you can see military watching you with binoculars from the southernmost Chinese Island.
Huge carnivorous kangaroos stalked Australia's outback until 10,000 years ago.
Cheetahs are one of the few animals that are not going extinct because of man. They're going extinct because lions continually kill and eat the young cheetahs.
Seals and dogs are closely related.

Did you know that the formula for adult women's shoe sizes in America is:
S = 3L - 20.5
where S is the shoe size and L is the length of her foot in inches?
(For example, a woman with feet 9 inches long would wear size 27-20.5 = 6.5)
S = 3L - 20.5
where S is the shoe size and L is the length of her foot in inches?
(For example, a woman with feet 9 inches long would wear size 27-20.5 = 6.5)

Did you know that the inverse formula to the one given two posts above is:
L = (1/3)S + 6 5/6
where L is the length of a woman's foot in inches and S is her U.S. shoe size?
For example, women's size 9 shoes fit feet that are 9 5/6 inches long.
L = (1/3)S + 6 5/6
where L is the length of a woman's foot in inches and S is her U.S. shoe size?
