Dear Kids,

This blog is especially created for you! I'll post small stories, puzzles, jokes, etc. (mainly old ones, occasionally new ones) for you from time to time. This blog is dedicated to three people: (1) My grandpa - Fondly known to all of us as Appappa - who told me so many lovely stories (2) My cousin and friend (Uncle S for you) - who keeps teaching me lots of things that I can do on the computer. (3) My beloved wife (Aunty P for you) - who likes to hear my grandpa's stories from me. Hope you like this blog - Keep visiting! [If you are not a kid (or a kid at heart!!), use this blog to entertain kids known to you!]

Love, Uncle N

Some Amazing Facts!

Some Amazing Facts!

Hi kids,

The net is a treasure trove of lots of information - useful and otherwise. More interestingly, it also happens to be the most important source (and destination!) of trivia.

Just got a few "trivial" but supposedly "Amazing facts" from a friend (again sourced from the net according to him). Enjoy the trivia:

  • Butterflies taste with their feet
  • A duck's quack doesn't echo,and no-one knows why
  • Elephants are the only animals that can't jump
  • It's possible to lead a cow upstairs ... but not downstairs
  • Women blink nearly twice as much as men
  • It's physically impossible for you to lick your elbow
  • No word in the English language rhymes with "MONTH"
  • Our eyes are always the same size from birth, but our nose and ears never stop growing. SCARY!!!
  • All polar bears are left-handed
  • A crocodile cannot stick its tongue out.
  • A charmelion's tounge is as long as it's body
  • Almost everyone who reads this page will try and lick their elbow

Hope that the above list should keep you busy with your friends for a while!

Happy reading!

Regards,

Uncle N
