If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle. If the horse has one front leg in the air the person died as a result of wounds received in battle. If the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.

In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes. When you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase......... "goodnight, sleep tight."

Smelling bananas and/or green apples (smelling, not eating) can help you lose weight!

There are no words in the dictionary that rhyme with orange,
purple and silver.

TheFang

Man has never seen the "other" side of the moon. (The side that faces away from the earth)
The same side of the moon always faces the earth.

Box

Man has orbited the moon and has therefore seen the other side.
