My daughter is constantly asking me about this or that and as she gets older, it gets harder to answer her question. So I always refer her to the Internet. If you look at her on-line searches of course my space and y-tube is on the top of the list but then comes ask.com and wiki as she is always starving for statics. So the other day she was asking me about something, I can’t remember what it was but I told her to look online as I didn’t have the answer. As she was researching her question she ran across this list of thousands of interesting facts and precedes to start reading them off to me, one by one. I of course was busy fixing dinner and was only half heartily listening to her. After about fifty facts that didn’t relate to anything I was currently focusing on (not burning the pork chops) I told her to pick her favorite 10 and write them down and I would read them later.
She did just that and a few days later I sat down and read her list. OMG is all I can say. To have the worries and interests of a 14 year old would be so refreshing right now considering the only facts or statistics my life revolves around are bills, budgets and how much I can actually accomplish in a 24 hour period.
Here we go – Kourtnee’s Top Ten Most Interesting Facts:
- There are 18 different animal shapes in the animal cracker cookie zoo
- There are no clocks in Las Vegas gambling casinos
- Most lipstick contains fish scales
- The first product to contain a bar-code was Wrigley’s gum
- Camels have 3 eyelids to protect themselves from blowing sand
- Recycling 1 glass jar saves enough energy to watch TV for 3 hours
- More people use blue toothbrushes than red ones
- A person uses approximately 57 sheets of toilet paper each day
- Apples are more efficient than caffeine in keeping you up in the morning
- Your sneeze travles out of your mouth at over 100 m.p.h.
So there you have it, these are the things that interest out teenagers. I’m not sure if that’s a good or a bad thing. Thanks for the important facts Kourtnee, you have inspired us all!!

I have to say this is a very interesting article. I enjoyed reading it and learning about this stuff as I would have never found out this stuff on my own. To me it’s not something I would go search but to read about it was very fun. I just have to say that I am very glad I don’t wear lipstick, and I always thought I never seen a clock in the casino’s. This was a good article and you should pick a weekly subject to have her research and do an article like this again as it was fun and interesting. Thanks Again for the Great Work….
It’s fun to read about things that have absolutely no meaning sometimes. The toilet paper one was my favorite, now I know why I spend so much on toilet paper!!
Thanks for your comments – you keep me rolling
