We’ve all got that one annoying friend…
Shenanigans
I’m sure you know someone that loves throwing out sports statistics or fun facts. Somebody that loves trivia. A friend that starts sentences with “did you know…” Or the family member that everyone just humors with forced smiles and confused looks when they start reciting movie lines. Yep, me.
Check in every here for new, random, fun facts of the week!
Fun Fact of the Week
Did you know that bell peppers have a gender?
Look at the bottom of the pepper. If there are four ridges (bumps) for the pepper to stand on, then the pepper is female. Three ridges, male.
Female peppers are sweeter and are preferred for salads or eating raw. Male peppers seem to be more stubborn and never want to ask for directions when they’re lost. At least I don’t.
In regards to exercise, the comedian George Burns was quoted as saying: "I never go jogging. It makes me spill my martini.”
Previous Week’s Fun Fact
In New England, the traditional 4th of July feast was Salmon & Peas.
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise?
I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you. It’s a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life. He had such a knowledge of the Dark Side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful that the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself.
