I ♥ Learn Something New Everyday

Sharing is Caring… Day 4: A Website

Today’s post is brought to you by the wonderfully hilarious – and educational! – website Learn Something New Every Day. For the unaware, I’m a trivia fiend. I love reading random facts. I watch Jeopardy almost every dayi, and I dive straight for the trivia section of the newspaper. I sometimes joke that I don’t really retain any sort of useful knowledge, only the most random and seemingly points facts. (Which is actually true. I can read an entire newspaper front to back, and the only thing I’ll remember is the odd snippet, a date here, a name there.) Thus, Learn Something New Every Day is quite perfect for me. Every day they post a fun little fact accompanied by a comical little doodle. Here’s a few of my favourites (facts and doodles).

Elephant Not Jumping

The Letter K

Penguins

Pigs

Mars Bars

The Wrong Parents

Banana DNA

Turtle Breath

Property of the Queen

Willies

Mr. Potato Head

Frog Army

Kiting Accidents

Salvidor Dali Lollipop

I knew about swans being property of the Queen! I discovered this when my friend tried to heckle a swan when we were in Hyde Park :P
