Re: useless knowledge
This is simply not true. A newborn infant does not pop out with full-size adult eyeballs.Pedronicus wrote:Human eyes never grow
"At birth, the head and structures within it, such as the eyes and brain, are more developed in proportion to the rest of the body. The head and eyes increase in width by only 1.5 times up to the age of 5 years, and after that only a very small proportion more until early adulthood. So the eyes do grow slightly, probably only a matter of millimetres, and only up to age 5 or so."

Re: useless knowledge
loaf and lady both came from the same Old English root word "hlaf". Hlaf became loaf (originally bread) and hlafdige became lady (originally one who makes bread).

Third Grade teachers don't like it much when you mention "during" or "of" when they are lecturing that a preposition is "anything a rabbit can do to a hollow log".

Re: useless knowledge
That in their only war, Canadian (British at the time..) troops burned the White House and also captured Detroit?
We gave Detroit back. Didn't want it.
Don't regret it either.
