This led me to discover wisegeek. These buggers send me an email a day, with some pretty neat and at times geeky facts. Reminder- Geeky is not always equal to a computer Programmer.
Here are some things I learnt through Wisegeek this week, amongst some other stuff.
Wars kill. But whom?
Post World War II, conflicts have killed more civilians ( people not classified as soldiers actually fighting wars) as compared to the actual soldiers fighting them. This is what the UN says.
Monna Lisa. Yep, it's Monna. Not Mona.
My Lady. Monna. Lisa. Well, still Lisa, proper noun and all. Mona was a spelling error. Monna Lisa in Italian is My lady Lisa. Someone made a boo boo somewhere.
Have a headache? Have Coca cola.
Sad to see something that was made to cure a malady is now a major cause of so many of them.
Water, water everywhere.
We know more about the heavens above as compared to the oceans. Covering 70 % of earths surface, we haven't explored 95 % of it!
I hope you enjoyed reading it and picked up a fun facts while at it!
Stay Healthy and Happy!
