RANDOM MUSINGS FROM THE TOP OF THE HILL

DID YOU KNOW THAT

Did you know that . . .

. . . human babies are born without kneecaps?  They don't form until they're two or three years old.

. . . ACE bandages are not named for a company but a material?  ACE is an acronym for All Cotton Elastic.  Elastic materials are made from rubber strands woven into other materials.

. . . the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere is One World Center in NYC?  It is 1776' tall - the height designed to match the date our country was founded.

. . . famous author F. Scott Fitzgerald's real given name is Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald?  He was named for the author of our National Anthem.

. . . in English we say, "Hello, how are you" but in China, they say "Ni Hao" (pronounced knee-how)?  It could be translated to "You good."  They assume the positive.  I like that.
