If you feed the rind of a rasher to a duck it comes out of the other end undigested. ...hence if you tie a lot of rinds together and have your ducks in a row and then tie the ends of the rinds you have an unending string of ducks.... |

A jiffy is an actual unit of time, not just an expression.
In computer engineering, it is the length of one cycle of the computer's system clock (around 10 milliseconds). In chemistry and physics, a jiffy is the amount of time it takes light to travel a distance of one centimeter — about 33.3564 picoseconds. |

In the of the 16th century in Boston it was illegal to celebrate Xmas..
Decorating the Xmas tree first came from Germany... Where they used to decorate the tree in winter to brighten up the dark gloomy days.
Santa travels at 4,796,250 MPH so he delivers presents around the world in a new day... Lucky for him with different times zones he has 31 hours to do this.

The distance between the earth and sun is 93 million miles. If you drew a map to scale with the earth and sun 1 inch apart,so 1 inch equals 93 million miles,the next nearest star to us on this map is 7 miles away.

A British company has produced a "strange, alien" material so black that it absorbs all but 0.035 per cent of visual light, setting a new world record. To stare at the "super black" coating made of carbon nanotubes – each 10,000 times thinner than a human hair – is an odd experience. It is so dark that the human eye cannot understand what it is seeing. Shapes and contours are lost, leaving nothing but an apparent abyss. |
