7 Things I did not know last week

Population Forecast up to 2050

1- The world currently has 6.9 billion people. It is projected to hit 10 billion people in the year 2050! (right)

2- Parents in Denmark must choose from a list of 7,000 pre-approved names for their babies!

3- The FDA allows an average of 30 insect fragments and one or more rodent hairs per 100 grams of peanut butter.

4- Donald Duck's middle name is Fauntleroy and that comics of him were banned from Finland because he doesn't wear trousers.

5- In Moscow, weathermen can be fined for inaccurate weather forecasting.

6- You can cure a stomach ache if you lie on your left side for 5 minutes. The stomach is on the left side, the oesophagus enters it on the right and therefore gas bubbles can rise and allow you to burp.

7- A sharon fruit (Kharma in Arabic) is a persimmon that has been artificially ripened. No, I had no idea what a persimmon was either.
