Useless Fact of the Day

Good morning campers and Hi di Hi

I thought I would just drop a few useless facts of the day that you may or maynot find interesting.. A little light hearted reading as they say.. I do hope you don't mind..

Flamingos can only eat with their heads upside down
Your brain is 80% water
400 quarter-pounders can be made out of 1 cow
If you look carefully at the picture of Mona Lisa, you will notice a bridge hidden in the background (Lets see how many can find it)
Donald Duck's sister is called Dumbella
Goofy had a wife, Mrs. Goofy, and one son, Goofy jr.

Mow that's enough they are getting to silly now

Have a good day all

Deano
