Amazing Facts!

I'd like to start the day by telling you five utterly inane things that I didn't know until around about ten minutes ago. So bate your breath and listen up:

1. The longest word created from a single row on the standard keyboard is: TYPEWRITER - which is an amazing coincidence given yesterday's piece.
2. The first product to have a bar code was Wrigley’s gum. Chew on that one!
3. The plastic things on the end of shoelaces are called aglets. Believe it or knot!
4. The average lead pencil will draw a line 35 miles long. Where after there is nothing to compare!
5. The dot over the letter i is called a tittle. Yes, but what about the cross on the t? Hmmm! Surely not a tattle!

So there ye go. Turning into a right ole fountain of knowledge this 'ere blog,eh?!
