Did You Know!
Let's start the week off with a 'Did You Know' post!Did you / do you know these five facts?
1. Hawaiian pizza is a Canadian invention.
Sam Panopoulos, a Greek immigrant and chef, came up with the idea of adding canned pineapple to pizza in 1962. Inspired by Chinese sweet and sour cooking, he introduced this unique combination at the Satellite Restaurant in Ontario.
Despite initial scepticism, Hawaiian pizza gained popularity worldwide once people gave it a taste. Interestingly, it’s named after the brand of canned pineapples used, not Hawaii itself.
2. The smallest bone in your body is in your ear.
Known as the stapes bone, this tiny bone is, on average, 0.09 × 0.11 inches (3 × 2.5 mm) in size.
The stapes bone can be found in the middle ear of humans and many other animals. It is vital in transferring vibrations from sounds into the inner ear.
3. Only 5% of the ocean has been explored.
The ocean covers around 70% of the Earth’s surface, and it is much harder to explore than land.
As much as 20% of the ocean floor has now been mapped, thanks to advancements in sonar technologies. The reason we’ve explored so little of the ocean is that the technology needed has only developed over the last 100 years.
4. Recycling just one tin can saves enough energy to watch television for 3 hours.
That’s how important recycling is! In fact, recycling an aluminium can into a new one takes only 5% of the energy required to produce one normally.
The average person has the chance to recycle 25,000 cans in their lifetime – that’s 75,000 hours of television!
5. The average person walks the equivalent of five times around the world in their lifetime.
Unless you’re a bit of a couch potato, you will, on average, walk around 7,500 steps daily. The average person lives until they’re 80, so it works out that you’ll walk about 110,000 miles (177,027 km) in your lifetime.
The circumference of the Earth at the equator is 24,900 miles (40,072 km).
Providing you’re an average person, who takes average strides and lives an average length of time, it’s entirely possible to walk the globe five times!
~xx ooo xx~
We did have some sunshine and blue sky yesterday, so a good day to add to my walking around the world five times!
All the best Jan
