How it works:
I will come up with fun fact starting with A. For example: Adrien Brody holds the record for being the youngest actor to win the Oscar.
Then one that starts with B:
Bees make honey (rather a boring fact but just for an example.)
And the a fact starting with C, then D, and so on.
Start with A and end with Z!

Zimbabwe, officially the Republic of Zimbabwe, is a landlocked country in Southern Africa. The capital and largest city is Harare, and the second largest is Bulawayo. It is a country of roughly 15 million people. The Bantu people (who would become the ethnic Shona) built the city-state of Great Zimbabwe; the city-state became one of the major African trade centres by the 11th century dealing in gold, ivory and cooper. Zimbabwe gained full independence in April 1980 when the first elections were held. Reply #61. May 10 23, 9:46 AM |

A flitch is a side of bacon. The town of Great Dunmow in Essex, England, holds four-yearly "Flitch Trials". Couples convincing a panel of bachelors and spinsters that they never regretted marrying (over the past 366 days) win a flitch of bacon. These "Flitch Trials" are mentioned in Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales" and were also part of the 1952 film, "Made in Heaven". Reply #67. May 23 23, 6:41 PM |

German Shepherd dog or Alsatian is a German breed of working dog of medium to large size. The breed was developed by Max von Stephanitz using various traditional German herding dogs from 1899. It was bred originally to heard sheep. It has since been used in many other fields of work, including disability assistance, search-and-rescue, police work, and warfare. It is also commonly kept as a pet. Reply #68. May 24 23, 9:47 AM |

The hairy-nosed wombat differs taxinomically from the common wombat. It has silkier fur, broader nose (yes, with hair) and longer ears. Just two species, northern and southern, make up the hairy-nosed genus. This marsupial is known to some on FT as the animal which produces cube shaped feces. This odd trait is due to the elastic properties at the end of its large intestine. With poor eyesight, these diggers must depend on their noses to find food. Native grasses are their favorite.

Islanders win 4 consecutive Stanley Cup: 1980-1984. The first one was on an overtime goal by Bobby Nystrom at 7:11 of OT. They were led by the All Star line of Brian Trottier, flanked by Mike Bossy and Clark Gillies along with defenseman (and captain) Denis Potvin as well as goaltender Billy Smith. Al Arbor was the coach for this dynasty. Reply #70. Jan 04 24, 11:37 AM |
