 The English language dates to the 5th century and was used in literature from the 7th century.  It is interesting to note that our alphabet did not include the letters "j" and "u" until the 16th century.  Wordle was easier back then.

Queen Elizabeth of England, the Queen Mum, and Marilyn Monroe were born the same year; 1926.  Doesn't seem right, does it?

How cold is it in outer space?  I'm talking as far away from our Sun and other stars as possible.  We think it is -455 degrees F.  They call that the background temperature.  I'm pretty sure the snot would freeze in your nose out there.

More people are killed by mosquitos each year than by any other men.  I'm also glad to report that mosquitoes prefer type O blood - I'm a safe A+

Rabies is transmitted to humans by animal bite.  It can take up to six months for symptoms to appear.  After symptoms appear, it is near 100% fatal.  Only six known people have ever survived rabies.  It kills 59,000 people each year - mostly children in Africa and Asia.  If you receive an animal bite that breaks the skin, see your doctor.
