I didn’t know all these facts. It’s interesting to know them. Thank you for sharing this!
There are no clocks in casinos in Las Vegas. To not know how much time they spent at the casino. As far as I know, there are no windows so they don’t see when the sun rises. ?????
That is correct. They want to keep you gambling.
I didn’t know that, but perhaps that’s the “best design” for casinos.
There’s a casino in my country, Genting. I’ll check if this applies the same to the Genting casino when I visit it next time.
these all made me laugh! thank you so much!
Thanks, I just wish I could have edited this one. The formatting did not come over correctly from Word.
i have that problem (as well as misspelling titles) i miss edit, but I am glad we don’t have it right now.
There are negatives to the edit button as well.
in fact there were negatives as well.
i truly hope the site is ok.
One slot machine for every 8 inhabitants.. Hmm Las Vegas!!!
Too bad I could not edit this one. The formatting did not come over correctly.
Perhaps there are no clocks in Las Vagas to encourage people to keep gambling. I find funny that a bicycle is faster than a car in Tokyo.
That was my thought about the cloys as well. I wish I could have edited this one. The formatting did not come over correctly.
Very interesting facts, dear Carol … I didn’t know any of this and you taught me something again
Glad you enjoyed my friend!
That of blood vessels is really strange. In a second! That is very fast.
Our bodies are amazing. Thanks for reading. Sorry about he formatting issue.
Not to worry. With the glitches experienced here, things can go wary.
Now those are the strangest things I have ever heard. What is even odder is that I have seen the Mona Lisa painting umpteen times and never even though about the eyebrows.
I agree and I am sure missing the edit button. The formatting did not come over correctly.
Interesting fact. The one surprises me the most is the King’s one. I played card my whole life and I never realize it.
hanks, I just wish I could have edited this one. The formatting did not come over correctly.
I can feel you, the formating on this post quite bothering.
Btw, I saw on trending page that the two years old post added in there, it’s like the author edited their old post.
But, I don’t know how that person can do it since edit post no longer exist.
I very much enjoy reading these posts. I learn a lot of new and interesting things.

Oops…. sorry folks, this poll did not work. I hope it can be deleted.
It worked for me. Very interesting facts! I think I watched somewhere that Mona Lisa had eyebrows but the paint faded over time or something like that, but I am not sure.
They were suppose to be in a list format. I copied from my Word program and it didn’t copy correctly. Thank you.
You are correct Ellie about Mona Lisa’s eyebrows….
One theory behind Mona Lisa’s lack of eyebrows is that it was not fashionable to have them during the Renaissance period. Women would shave them off, and so Mona Lisa reflects the fashions of the time. However, scientists who zoomed in on the image found that there is a single brushstroke in the eyebrow region. This suggests that da Vinci did give her eyebrows, but that they faded over time.
It worked for me.
