Facts and or trivia

Facts and or trivia

Firstly let me say I have tried to research the difference between facts and trivia, and can not find a definitive answer. Secondly this is not stuff i know but stuff i have "found". Third I have tried my very best to make it interesting...but i find unusual stuff interesting. Lastly if i am wrong, let me just say what i say to my kids...i may be occasionally mistaken but i am rarely wrong 🙂

Let us begin: Australia was the second country in the world to give women the right to vote in 1902.

The only place in the world where you can still find the lung fish which is a living fossil from the Triassic period 350 million years ago.

And finally Who remembers what animal was on the 2 cent coin?

Did you know...Was less than 30 years ago when the first txt message was sent, and some of us remember when they were less than 160 characters (or you had to pay for a second message). Ahh the memories of the flip phone....and the noise made when hooking up to dial up internet..I am so glad those days are no longer 🙂

This thread is so fun! Love seeing the fun facts and trivia. I remember that dial up noise for sure and having to send multiple texts for one message because of the limited amount of characters!

Never trust Mr Google, he seeks to divert you with loads of unimportant stuff that generally leads you to loosing the original premise. Still diversion has its place. Love to you all, my dear ones.
