Ten Things We Didn't Know


Each week, Jon Howard from Living Brands re-posts the BBC's "Ten Things we Didn't Know Last Week." The ten things have a tendency to be pretty UK-centric but there are always some cool trivial things that you never knew before.

Here is this week's "Ten Things We Didn't Know Before the 8th week of 2009":

  1. Elephants kiss.
  2. Members of the public can be New York police officers for one day.
  3. The Catholic Church studies confessions.
  4. British "superguns" defeated the Spanish Armada.
  5. Hitler had bad table manners.
  6. Injured turtles can wear artificial flippers.
  7. Pills can banish bad memories.
  8. Grizzly bears hate getting their ears wet.
  9. Prawo Jadzy" means "driving licence" in Polish and is not a real name.
  10. Chimps can log on.

There ya have it. Check out living brands weekly for plenty of things you never knew before.
