WE DID NOT LEARN THIS IN SCHOOL

Dreamt' is the only English word that ends in the letters 'mt'. ? (Are you doubting this?)

Our eyes are always the same size from birth, but our nose and ears never stop growing. 
   
The sentence: 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog' uses every letter of the alphabet. (Now, you KNOW you're going to try this out for accuracy, right?)

The words 'racecar,' 'kayak' and 'level' are the same whether they are read left to right or right to left (palindromes) .. (Yep, I knew you were going to 'do' this one.)

TYPEWRITER is the longest word that can be made using the letters only on one row of the keyboard. (All you typists are going to test this out) 

A snail can sleep for three years. (I know some people that could do this too.!)

The cruise liner, QE 2, moves only six inches for each gallon of diesel that it burns.

Babies are born without kneecaps. They don't appear until the child reaches 2 to 6 years of age..
