I must fess up:
I completely forgot to send out an email for my newly anointed pilot series, Fun Fact Friday. Instead, I wrote for my The Divided Region addicts, which was by no means a poor substitute, but it does beg the question…
Is my heart and soul even in FFF?
The short answer is yes.
The slightly more poetic one is:
Old habits are like lard,
Easy to ply,
Not so easy to say bye-bye.
I know, I know. Step aside, Shakespeare, D.J.J. Watson is here with an almighty cheer!
Senseless scribing aside, let's sandwich this week with some fun facts you might just imbibe:
- Lightning can heat the air around it to about 50,000°F (27,700°C), which is roughly five times hotter than the surface of the Sun.
- You're about 1 cm taller in the morning than in the evening. Apparently, our good friend gravity compresses the cartilage in our spines and joints throughout the day.
- Honey never spoils. Archaeologists have found pots of honey in ancient Egyptian tombs that are still perfectly edible after more than 3,000 years.
While I don't doubt for a second these archaeologists know more than me, I personally wouldn't fight anyone who wanted the first spoon.
Would you?
Anyway, this has been Fun Fact Friday on a Monday, and I have been your exemplary daily host.
Should you enjoy my flavour of writing, you might just like the fantasy series that turns regular readers and listeners into mindless addicts.
I can't promise you won't be banging your knife and fork for more, but I do promise you an adventure that feels both familiar and completely fresh.
Quite the oxymoron.
Also quite true.
