6. The average raindrop falls at 7mph, which is I guess why it hurts so much when hail is pelleting you from the sky.
雨点平均下降速度为每小时7英里(约为11千米),我猜这也是为什么冰雹从天空中降落砸到我们会觉得那么疼。

7. Delaware, Georgia, Louisiana, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia — just a few of of the States that are named after a real human.
特拉华州、乔治亚州、路易斯安那州、纽约州、宾夕法尼亚州、马里兰州、弗吉尼亚州,美国50个州当中只有这几个是根据真实名字命名的。

8. No matter how hard you try, no piece of paper can be folded in half more than 7 times. I just tried it — it can’t be done.
不过你多努力地尝试,你都无法将一张纸对半折超过7次,我试过了,我做不到。

9. If you think about it, “Typewriter” is the longest word you can type on a keyboard that only uses a single row of qwerty letters.
如果你仔细想想,你会发现“Typewriter” (打字机)是键盘上只使用一行字母就可以打出来的最长的英文单词

10. Because things get expand when they heated, hot water is actually HEAVIER than cold water.
因为物体遇热膨胀,所以热水其实要比冷水重。

11. Unfortunately, we daydream less as we get older and older. I guess reality and bills set in.
不幸的是,随着我们年纪越来越大,我们做的白日梦就会越来越少。我猜是因为残酷的现实和堆积的账单的压力吧。
