Did you know that you can see an owl's eyeball through it's ear? Or that you CAN'T hum while plugging your nose? (I know you just tried that btw) If you find this stuff interesting like I do, I'd invite you to spend around 5 minutes weekly with me (usually on Fridays) where we talk facts about technology, celebrities, sports, music and anything else that you and I come can come up with!
