TRIVIA BITS

 

  • Babies are born with 300 bones, but by adulthood we have only 206 in our bodies.
  • Baby eels are elvers.
  • Ballistics is the science that deals with the motion of projectiles.
  • Bambi was originally published in 1929 in German.
  • Banana oil never saw a banana; it's made from petroleum.
  • Bananas are actually herbs. Bananas die after fruiting, like all herbs do.
  • Bananas grow pointing upwards.
  • Bank robber John Dillinger played professional baseball.
  • Barbara Bush's book about her English Springer Spaniel, Millie's book, was on the bestseller list for 29 weeks. Millie was the most popular "First Dog" in history.
  • Barbers at one time combined shaving and haircutting with bloodletting and pulling teeth. The white stripes on a field of red that spiral down a barber pole represent the bandages used in the bloodletting.
