USELESS INFO TUESDAY

PLEASE, JUST PRETEND IT IS TUESDAY...

 ~  Goat is the most widely consumed red meat in the world.  An estimated 63% of the red meat consumed worldwide is goat meat.


 ~  In 1976, Issac Newton was pictured in the very first Apple Computer logo.  The logo, showing Newton sitting under an apple tree, was used for the Apple I computer.  It was almost immediately replaced with a rainbow-colored apple with a bite taken out of it.




 ~  At negative 40 degrees, the temperature readings on both Fahrenheit and Celsius thermometers are exactly the same.

~  According to culinary legend, tortellini pasta was inspired by the belly button of the Roman goddess Venus. (kind of gross)


~  The great white shark has the strongest bite of any known living creature.  Its powerful jaws can snap shut with the force of two tons.
