    A duck's quack doesn't echo, and no one knows why.

    The "save" icon on Microsoft Word shows a floppy disk, with the shutter on backwards.

    The combination "ough" can be pronounced in nine different ways. The following sentence contains them all:
    "A rough-coated, dough-faced, thoughtful ploughman strode through the streets of Scarborough; after falling into a slough, he coughed and hiccoughed."

    The only 15 letter word that can be spelled without repeating a letter is uncopyrightable

    Cats have over one hundred vocal sounds, while dogs only have about ten

    The word "Checkmate" in chess comes from the Persian phrase "Shah Mat," which means, "the king is dead".

    In every episode of Seinfeld there is a Superman somewhere.

    The United States has never lost a war in which mules were used.

    The only nation whose name begins with an "A", but doesn't end in an "A" is Afghanistan.

    The longest word in the English language, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. The only other word with the same amount of letters is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconioses, its plural.

    Al Capone's business card said he was a used furniture dealer.

    "Stewardesses" is the longest word that is typed with only the left hand. (Try it, lol)

    111,111,111 x 111,111,111=12,345,678,987,654,321

    Clans of long ago that wanted to get rid of their unwanted people without killing them used to burn their houses down - hence the expression "to get fired."

    A snail can sleep for 3 years. (Wish I could, lol)
