until the 1940 pink was the traditional color for little boys, while girls were dressed in blue



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

I knew pink was comsidered a masculine colour in the past, but I had no idee it only changed in the 1940s.

It's against the law in Iceland to have a dog.

It is impossible to lick your elbow.

People say "Bless you" when you sneeze because when you sneeze, your heart stops for a millisecond.

All polar bears are left handed.

Good but some are lacking in actual evidence and research, I don't want to research them all but.

You can own dogs in Iceland. There are owners clubs.

My workmate can lick his elbow (apparently he's immortal, who knew).

There is no historical reason why we say 'Bless You', I highly doubt when the phrase first appeared, people knew the human heart stops for a small time, if anything it's probably to do with religion.

No evidence proves all Polar Bears are left handed, this is an assumption and more internet myth now.
