Fact: The wood frog can hold its pee for up to eight months.
You have three and a half hours to kill
You could watch a double feature
Or an epic adventure
A short novella
Go for a long hike
Or marathon on a bike
Or say one fucking word
Nobody has ever heard
Fact: The longest English word is 189,819 letters long.It is the full name for the protein nicknamed titin and would take approximately three and a half hours to say out loud.
That’s a long time to wait for………………………………..

Fact: No number before 1,000 contains the letter A
Lost in a lengthy word
blindly drawn to an end
Pointed without point
Several hooks and a bend
We have said enough
With a single letter
Yet, to the constraints
Our language is a fetter
Fact: Queue is the only word in the English language that is still pronounced the same way when the last four letters are removed.

Fun Facts
Great post as always. There should be a movement to remove the last four letters.
