Eleanor's Little Book of Interesting Facts Part 1
When my daughter was a little girl and I put him to bed, I would say "Go to bed soon, I'll tell you an interesting" My idea was to get acquainted with the corrupting it to discover the pleasure of face its own sake. I think it worked and it is a brilliant, intelligent, curious sort of person, besides being beautiful. When I told her she said: "Dad, you're my father you're supposed to think that this does not mean it's true." What more proof could you want this astute observation These are a selection of facts? They told her to all sorts of ages, but the date mostly from years later, primarily because they were younger and I remember, on the other hand, a large number of facts past were very short and simple. Sometimes the facts change I will ------------------------------------------- --- A long night, I told him "You know that there are three states of being solid, liquid and gas. Like when the water is very cold, ice is a little hotter it becomes water, then hot and it turns into steam. Most things go through these three states, but some, such as iodine, failed, which means they go straight from solid to a gas and miss the little liquid. "What is iodine?" Ellie asked. This is an item in a group called the halogens, a very useful group of chemicals that react with all sorts of things to do a lot of useful compounds. Of the most reactive to the least reactive, they are fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine. "And then, in answer to his question about iodine," Yes, it condenses to a solid straight again. "That is a fact that has been washed away with himself, I I started for him say that the glass at normal room temperature, is a liquid, but a very viscous, viscous explain what it meant, and tell him about glass tiles very old churches that have run in Over the centuries so that the top is thinner than the bottom. I went back to that other night, that night we got into the way things are chemically joined to do something completely new and different, such as chlorine and sodium salt making. Since then I have heard that glass is a myth, the glass is so viscous and old-time manufacturing of glass so inaccurate, it would be equally likely to find the upper part thicker than the bottom and that the plasma , which I thought the gas deionized, should be considered a state of being, I do not know. Bedside facts come straight from my head, I can not get things. Of course, I would not tell a deliberate lie Ellie, but I do not check, do not count on me. This is not a next Apocrypha (from the Greek word meaning "false writings"), I checked the dictionary before I put Ellie to bed. "In France there is a town called Nimes. The inhabitants of Nimes has discovered a way of weaving cotton so it is very strong. The painting has become well known and has been called canvas Nimes. Over time, the bit of cloth fell and it became "de Nîmes" like "A Wilton" can describe a particular type of carpet in English. In French the word "of" is "" This is joined on the bit of Nimes and it became jeans, denim has become. Denim is not the only type of cloth to get the name of a city of Damascus, a kind of thick cotton embroidered on both sides with silk and used for old tablecloths fashioned from Damascus. That day we went shopping and Ellie.? his first pair of jeans right =================== Remember denim on the fact I asked a well leads to another and talk about names reminds me . - - "Most cheeses are named after where they are made, Cheddar Cheddar Gorge is where, Gloucester Gloucestershire and so on. but not Stilton. Stilton cheese was made in western countries, but the farmer who lived near the road and diligence used to put on the car to take a coaching inn big it was sold in Stilton. They found very popular and has purchased all of its production though, the cheese was not made Stilton, which was where he came from as far as people who bought it was concerned and that became his name. If you go too long after a train of thought as it becomes boring, it is better to take a break and come back on later ================== === ==== Alexander the Great, an epithet like no other. Titles like "The Pious" and "The Good" are simply not in the same class, I do not even remember the names that go with it one evening, I told Ellie ---. . "Phillip was the king of Macedonia about 2,300 years ago and had a son named Alexander, when Alexander was about sixteen years of horse traders from a place called Thesselay came to his court Thesselay father was a land of grassy plains famous for his horses, perhaps this was the idea of the brand in Middle-earth comes from a horse, they brought with them was a beautiful black stallion. King wanted the horse, but he did not want to mount, as they tried to climb threw them. Disappointed Phillip turned to leave and saw Alexander was in the back of the crowd of men whispering that the boys when they disagree with their elders. as fathers do, he asked if he thought he could do what the grown men could not. Alexander said "yes" so that his father told him to try it and buy the horse for him if he could ride it, I do not know if he said what would happen if he could not, but of course he did. Walking on the horse the boy took the bride to the round of horses and riding. What Alexander had noticed is that the horse's back was to the sun and changing the shape of its shadow that the man was mounted spooking him.
