You Might Not Know

The reality in the movie "Twister" Of the frightening storms sound Was the noise of a camels moan That had been greatly slowed down The idea of painting fingernails We all have the Chinese to thank Where the color of someones nails Would indicate their social rank James Madison the fourth president For the U.S., was great all around Although he Stood only five feet four And weighed less than one hundred pounds The canning process for herring Developed by Sardinia teams Might explain why canned herrings are better known as Sardines

If they taught history like this in school, maybe more kids would pay attention! I love when I can learn something new-

What you say is very true. I never liked history very much in school, but I do like things like this as well.

A fun interesting factual write Pat; I had no idea James Madison was that size...and that they used a camel noise for the twister sound...how unusual and cool is that! (Not to mention the fingernail painting and sardine info!)~Che :)
