Hi All,
Just did a super quick, down and dirty search for the phrase 'things you didn't know'.
And wouldn't you know it...I found a mess load of interesting, useful, and very accessible links to share with you.
For example, if you click on this link from Discover Magazine you'll find a list of 'Things You Didn't Know (TYDK) on topics as varied as dogs, water, viruses, nanotechnology, light, mosquitos, penciles, and much more. Neat stuff.
Click on this link from Time Magazine entitled, 'Top 10 Things You Didn't Know About Money'. This article is definitely worth its weight in gold! :)
From a website called Robinsweb, comes this entry entitled, 'Strange Things You Likely Didn't Know'. Interesting little tidbits that's for sure - think of them as 'knowledge nuggets'.
From Cracked.com comes this article entitled, '6 Important Things You Didn't Know We're Running Out Of'. Did you know that we are running out of chocolate? Uh oh...better run to the store and pick up a bar of Hershey's dark chocolate! Yum. Click on this link to see what else we are running out of!!!
And finally, click on this link - from Merriam-Webster - for 'Words For Things You Didn't Know Have Names'. It comes from Merriam-Webster a noted dictionary publisher so the information is reliable and current and unbiased - good stuff!
Okay, I promise, this will be the last link and comment in todays' blog entry. Click on this link to find books that the Farmingdale Public Library owns on the topic of 'curiosities and wonders'. The link comes from the library card catalog and I sorted it chronologically so the most current books appear at the top of the list. Older titles appear toward the bottom of the list!
Enjoy the links and the books - and think of the things you'll learn from todays' entry!
Good stuff!
