Tell Me Something Interesting aka I Don't Wanna Search the Internet aka The More You Know aka As A Matter of Fact aka Let's Find Out! ..and so on ..

I've had a lot of luck posing this question lately.

So far I've got:

@Arquebus with ..pirates wore eyepatches so that they'd always have one eye adjusted to darkness. This way ..when they went below deck ..they could switch the eyepatch to the other eye to see more clearly.

And ..the human eye can see more shades of green than any other colour. As apes in the jungle we needed to be able to see subtle changes in the flora ..making us more capable hunters.

@Breast Lover with ..astronauts fart more in space than on Earth. (I'm betting the same goes for ordinary folks too ;] )

@HylianAlchemist with ..there's a whale that's been traveling the Pacific Ocean by itself searching for a mate for over 20 years but it's calls are at a frequency lower than other whales can hear.

@shadowfap with ..at one time ..MacDonald's had bubblegum flavoured broccoli on the menu!

So ..if you've got something interesting ..let's hear it ..please? I'm tired now ..will return after rest ..most likely with a random fact or two :]

Goodnight

The “devil” is the term used for the joint between the gunwale and a ships decking. It is the longest continuous joint on a ship. Joints are made watertight by filling them with oakum, (known as paying) tamped in place with an paying iron. It is tedious work, and is the source of the old saying “you’ll have the devil to pay”.


Another old saying is “between the devil and the deep blue sea”, which means you are standing on a very narrow gunwale, a precarious position.
