A woman's heart beats faster than a man's.
Did you know your tongue has a unique print just as your fingers?
Some snakes are born with two heads and when this happens, the two heads will fight each other for food.
Cows give more milk when soothing music is played.

A tip to remember...... | If you've got a messy job to do and don't want to ruin your clothes....try this. Take a large garbage bag and cut a hole for your arms and head and wear it as an apron. It will keep your clothes clean and you can throw it away when done. _____________________________________
It was in 1818 that a Swiss candy-maker started the now famous chocolate bar. His name was Francois-Louis Cailler. He manufactured his chocolate in blocks instead of rolls and sheets as the French and Italians did. These blocks were broken up into bars and thus the now famous chocolate candy bar. Go out and enjoy one! ________________________________ A little classic TV fun. 1. Who was Miss Hathaway's boss on the TV show, The Beverly Hillbillies? 2.
