angelak1. Baby robins eat 14 feet of earthworms every day.
2. Banana plants are the largest plants on earth without a woody stem. They are actually giant herbs of the same family as lilies, orchids and palms.
3. Clans many many years ago that wanted to get rid of their unwanted people without killing them, burnt their houses down - hence the expression " to get fired."
4. Cleveland spelled backwards is "DNA level C."
5. Colgate claims "Tooth Fairy" as a registered trademark.
6. Cranberries are sorted for ripeness by bouncing them; a fully ripened cranberry can be dribbled like a basketball.
7. Crocodiles have brains no larger than a cigar and they cannot stick their tongue out.
8. Duffel bags are named after a town of Duffel, Belgium, where they were first made.
9. Flirtation between the members of the opposite sex on the streets of Little Rock may result in a 30-day jail term.
10. Hershey's Kisses are called that because the machine that makes them looks like it's kissing the conveyor belt.
11. Humans are the only animals that can blush. -EDIT: [AND RANDY DOLPHINS!!!]
