1. COMMUNICATIONS giant NOKIA was founded in 1865 -- as a wood-pulp mill by FREDRIK IDESTAM. so surprising.. how wonderfully they have innovated, and developed along with the changing world!

2. To make a half-kilo of honey, bees must collect nectar from over 2 million individual flowers. Just imagine. Starting from the bee-hive, to fly over to a flower, suck the nectar, fly back to the bee-hive, and deposit the nectar into the hive. Then, start again.. this is to be done 2 million times. just for half a kilo. Which is better? Making a million dollars? online?

3. The average person's eyes will be closed about 30 minutes a day, due to blinking. Is this not better?

COMMON friends.. post such funny facts. and comment on the three facts here.

Wow that's interesting....I didn't get the first one but probably because I'm still tired lol. The second one is really interesting! And I guess the third one makes sense. I don't really have many interesting facts. I know a chicken (at least, I believe it's a chicken), can go for like 3 days with it's head cut off...lol.
