Yes, there is a company in Taiwan that makes their dinnerware out of wheat. This is a great way to “recycle,” because then you can eat it after you have eaten out of it. Instead of throwing it in the garbage!

This is interesting stuff, right? Okay, well, not only do they have 4 babies at a time, but they are also all one sex. So, if one is a boy, the other three will be boys and vice versa.

The heads side of the penny is heavier than the tales side, so the heads side is more likely to end up on the bottom. I didn’t believe it, so I had to look it up!

Hey the jail thing in Bangladesh is not true! I wonder about your way of describing funny things

it's a good thing i'm not in a school in Bangladesh... lol jk... maybe...

Im from Bangladesh and i didnt know bout that!

I m from bangladesh n i did not know about the jail thing....... Are u sure about that coz i dont think its true.......

I'm leaving bananas out at Christmas from now on ;)

I meant they smile to communicate and it is proved.They have really very high IQ and EQ.Even an octopus smiles.
