T R I V I A L : Did you know..... - Feb. 06, 2007



1)... that the first television set made entirely in Poland, the Belweder, cost 7000 zloty at the time when the average monthly salary ranged from 1 to 2 thousand?

2)... that the history of communication was dependent on the acquisition of the FOXP2 gene in humans, which facilitated the development of speech 200,000 years ago?(NOT trivial)

3)... Antidisestablishmentarianism (a nineteenth century movement in England opposed to the separation of church and state) at 28 letters is still in colloquial currency for being one of the longest words in the English language.

4)... that the Israeli band Ping pong were disendorsed by the Israeli Broadcasting Authority as the representative in the 2000 Eurovision after waving the Flag of Syria in their song "Sameyakh"?
