alright here: 1. Handshakes were originally meant to make sure that the person you were meeting wasn’t carrying a concealed weapon. The hand clasp proved that your hand was empty and shaking was meant to dislodge any weapons hiding up the sleeve. 2.Women have twice as many pain receptors on their body than men. But a much higher pain tolerance. 3. In 2006, an Australian man tried to sell New Zealand on eBay. The price rose to $3,000 before eBay shut it down. 4. In Japan, letting a sumo wrestler make your baby cry is considered good luck. 5. Toy companies failed to duplicate the success of Theodore Roosevelt's teddy bear with William Taft's "Billy Possum." 6. J.P. Morgan once offered $100,000 to anyone who could figure out why his face was so red. No one solved the mystery. 7.Before settling on the Seven Dwarfs we know today, Disney considered Chesty, Tubby, Burpy, Deafy, Hickey, Wheezy, and Awful. 8. If you put your finger in your ear and scratch, it sounds just like Pac-Man.
