5 Fun and interesting facts


Fact. The first oranges weren’t orange.  In Southeast Asia the original oranges were a hybrid of tangerine and pomelo (a large green citrus fruit similar in appearance to a grapefruit). Hmm hybrid food.  Should I leave it right there? I think I will.

Fact. Q is the only letter of the alphabet that doesn’t appear in any U.S. state name.  Not a one! 

Fact.  Peanuts are not nuts, they’re legumes! ooohhhhkkkkkk

Fact.  Octopuses lay close to 56,000 eggs at a time.. Whoa.  And get this the mother doesn’t eat for six months because she’s protecting her eggs; she’s one helluva mum!

Fact. The Pope can’t be an organ donor!  Per the Vatican, because the Popes body belongs to the universal Catholic Church the Pope’s entire body must be buried intact.  In-ter-resting.
