Random Facts Friday: March 2, 2012

We had February 29th this week. Do you know anyone born that day?
We have made it into March and another Friday is here! Need to clear your mind?
Start by using these random facts.

1. Sealed bedrooms don't have enough oxygen and may be why you feel tired. Open up your windows just a crack even in the winter for 5-10 minutes after you wake up and just before you go to bed. This will help release carbon dioxide out of your house and let oxygen in, helping the brain get the oxygen it needs.

2. The gemstone for March, Aquamarine, gets its color from iron.

3. There are 3 species of zebras and some of these even have sub-species, each with its own pattern. The importance of this: some have wider black stripes and some have wider white stripes. This adds to the debate about what color is the main color of the animal and which one is the stripe color. 

4. It takes about 40 gallons of maple sap to make 1 gallon of maple syrup.

5. Need a quick dessert? Make a little buffet of these toppings to go over vanilla ice cream:
maple syrup
grenadine syrup
warm cooked chocolate pudding (not yet refrigerated)
walnuts
whipped topping
