just for fun - Funny and Surprising Facts which are True!!!

Today I am sharing some odd facts I found on-line. My grandsons  thought several were extremely funny and/or surprising, so I thought I'd share them with you . . . chances are your grandchildren will also find them extremely funny and/or surprising as well!

Did you know . . .

• Pluto never made it all the way around the sun from the time it was discovered to when they decided it was not a planet.
• Cleopatra lived closer to the invention of the iPhone than she did to the building of the Great Pyramid. (I found this to be really amazing!)
