那些你幾乎從未聽說過的事實

1. Santa Klaus was created by Coca-Cola and he has been featured in Coke ads since the 1920s.

圣誕老人形象是可口可樂公司創(chuàng)造出來的，自從20世紀20年代以來，圣誕老人就一直出現(xiàn)在可樂廣告中。

2. Cats have over 100 vocal chords. Makes you wonder how many keys they can say “Meow” in! And cats can sleep 16 hours or more every 24 hours.

貓咪可以發(fā)出超過100種聲音，你可能會想知道喵星人到底能發(fā)出來多少種音調的“喵” 叫聲。另外貓咪每天能睡16個小時甚至更久。

3. Shrimp can only swim backwards, turtles breathe through their asses, fish can drown and a duck can’t walk without bobbing its head. This always looks so funny to me.

蝦只會往后游，烏龜用屁股呼吸，魚也會溺水，鴨子不擺頭就不會走。這些我都覺得好有趣!

4. 11% of people in the world are left-handed. Makes you wonder about all those left-handed desks there were in elementary school. When you mistakenly sat in one everything was wrong with the world.

世界上有11%的人是左撇子， 這可能會讓你想到小學里有的左撇子課桌。要是不小心跟左撇子坐了同桌，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)全世界都混亂了。

5. The Mona Lisa has no eyebrows!

蒙娜麗莎沒有眉毛。

6. The average raindrop falls at 7mph, which is I guess why it hurts so much when hail is pelleting you from the sky.

雨點平均下降速度為每小時7英里(約為11千米)，我猜這也是為什么冰雹從天空中降落砸到我們會覺得那么疼。

7. Delaware, Georgia, Louisiana, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia — just a few of of the States that are named after a real human.

特拉華州、喬治亞州、路易斯安那州、紐約州、賓夕法尼亞州、馬里蘭州、弗吉尼亞州，美國50個州當中只有這幾個是根據真實名字命名的。

8. No matter how hard you try, no piece of paper can be folded in half more than 7 times. I just tried it — it can’t be done.

不管你多努力地嘗試，你都無法將一張紙對半折超過7次，我試過了，我做不到。

9. If you think about it, “Typewriter” is the longest word you can type on a keyboard that only uses a single row of qwerty letters.

如果你仔細想想，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)“Typewriter” (打字機)是鍵盤上只使用一行字母就可以打出來的最長的英語單詞。

10. Because things get expand when they heated, hot water is actually HEAVIER than cold water.

因為物體遇熱膨脹，所以熱水其實要比冷水重。

11. Unfortunately, we daydream less as we get older and older. I guess reality and bills set in.

不幸的是，隨著我們年紀越來越大，我們做的白日夢就會越來越少。我猜是因為殘酷的現(xiàn)實和堆積的賬單的壓力吧。
