The ability to curl up the tongue is genetically hereditary. It's a specific trait that you either have or you don't. It can't be "trained". Also, if your father can do it and you can't, yo daddy ain't yo daddy.

Pointless fact: Hippoes kill more people in Africa than any animal.

The word "sincere" meaning pure and genuine comes from the Latin phrase "sin cere" which means "without wax". When classical sculptors carved statues out of marble, often it had tiny flaws and some roughness to it. To hide this, they coated the less than perfect spots with wax, smoothing it over. If a statue was near perfect and didn't have any apparant flaws, it was dubbed "sin cere", without wax and thus an honest, genuine sculpture. The phrase was re-adopted in the Italian renaissance.

That may not be pointless actually. A person could hear that and decide not to pet a hippo when they go to a safari park.

Then again, anyone who would try and pet a hippo deserves to die.. so maybe it is pointless.

In Canada $1 and $2 are represented by coins. Nicknamed the "loonie" (because there is a loon on it) and the Twonie (I guess because it rhymes with loonie.)

The word "tragedy" is derived from an ancient Greek phrase meaning "goat-song". Worshippers of Dionysus god of wine and jollity performed estastic dances in his honor called dithyrambs. They were said to have been invented by the satyrs, half-men, half-goats who worked as servants to Dionysus in his revelry.

France, now considered today by many non-French as weak and pacifist, may have had it's name taken from a weapon. France was named for the Franks, a Germanic tribe who adopted the name around the year 11 BC. The Franks' name in turn may have been taken from "francisca", a throwing axe used by many in the tribe.
