Well, I've been reading The Book of General Ignorance, so here goes:

The ancient greeks would have likened the colour of the sky to bronze, because they didn't have a word for blue. They would likely have used the word bronze because the sky could be dazzlingly bright.

A No-Eyed, Big Eyed Wolf Spider has no eyes. But if it did they would be big ones.

Humans have at least nine senses (That's right, your kindergarten teachers failed at one of the few things they did teach you)!
As well as the regular five, you could also be said to have: A sense of heat; a sense of balance and/or a sense of acceleration; perception of pain; awareness of body and appendage positions.
There could also be said to be at least 15 states of matter.

Most cats have a non-fatal terminal velocity.

A "jiffy" is a unit of time.

If I'm correct, it is about 1/100th of either a second or millisecond, I can never remember!

The only time two democratic countries have been at war was when Britain declared war on Finland when the latter started the Continuation War with the Soviets. There was very little fighting, most of it involving British fighter squadrons based in Murmansk and the Russian supply convoys.

Absolute zero is actually -273.15 C or 0 K.

The Farenheit scale has its zero where it does such that it never went below 0 F in Denmark.
