Fun fact Friday #2


Did you know a goldfish can only remember anything for three seconds? That’s why it’s in such a small tank. 

I’m Dominic Braithwaite and this is fun fact Friday. Did you know a mammal’s blood is red, an insect’s blood is yellow, and a lobster’s blood is blue? Ha ha ha funny, all primary colours. A blue whale's tongue weighs more than an elephant. That’s one heavy tongue. Did you know a slug has four noses. Yes, I was surprised when I heard it too: I thought that they were just a big bit of slop. 

Wow, the national bird of America can swim. If you don’t know what bird that is it’s the bald eagle. Did you know that a parrot can live up to one hundred fifty years old? That’s old. Last week's question was which country had three presidents in 24 hours. No one got it right at school but Professor Plum and Granny & Grandpa were very impressive. They got the correct answer, Mexico. 

This week's question is multiple choice. The question is what is the world record for eating worms in three minutes? 

Is it A. 45, B. 30, or C. 25? Put your answer in the comments. That’s all for this week.

OK This is a guess 45

Personally I've only managed 15 in that time, so I would guess B.

I would have guessed 45 because these things are usually the highest number so I'll have to guess 25 because it's never the middle option. So it probably is this time.
