Trivia may be considered unimportant, but some are fun to know about. For example, on my recent visit to Malta, I learned that the temples built in Malta are older than the pyramids of Egypt. I didn't know that until my visit to Malta, but I think that's interesting trivia. I'm sure most of us have heard of other trivia that has universal appeal - just to have that knowledge. How about it? Share yours.

shewolf, Great link to show the similarities between the cultures and pyramids of South America and Egypt. Amazing stuff; I'm gonna need to rethink why there so many similarities between the two, and the Negroid features are just fascinating, and also something to think about. Thanks for sharing.

Hey, C.I. I just found out that Clary Sage is a smoothing body butter which also contains buchu leaf. Damn, and all this time I thought she was a lexicographer.

If one wants to purchase a snake, the price is figured by the foot.

Also, bananas often grow in a climate far below the equator, so you should never put bananas in your refrigerator. oh, no, no, no.

Lexicographers can be smooth.
Snakes don't have feet.
Far below the equator it's quite cold.
What the devil is buchu leaf?

0 Replies

Clary, I have no idea what buchu leaf is. I received a nice little cosmetic kit as a gift and since I always look at the contents, I was delighted not to know what buchu was. What's a foot in the metric system?

beurre lissant pour le corps avec sauge sclaree germes de bie et feuilles de buchu. That's French for stuff.

0 Replies

A foot in the metric system is worth two in the mouth.

So I'm sclarée now. Well, don't get sclared.

Hee Hee. Ah, the cosmetic business.

Here's another bit of interesting trivia. In Virginia, one would pay a very fancy price for potted Asparagus ferns. Here, I just pulled up about a thousand pounds(not sterling)
