things i learned today

in my unemployed state, i have alot of free time. i spend some of it on sporcle, the world's greatest distraction. here are some of the things i learned today.

the collective noun for a group of walruses is an "ugly." as in "an ugly of walruses." for owls, it is "a parliament of owls." for unicorns, it is "a blessing of unicorns."

the czech republic consumers more beer per capita than any other country in the world.

there are only 10 countires with only four letters in their name: cuba, iran, iraq, laos, togo, mali, peru, fiji, chad and oman.

there are only 7 US states with only one member in the house of representatives (due to low population size- remember all that from APUSH?) alaska, delaware, north dakota, south dakota, vermont, wyoming and montana.

monaco is the world's most densely populated country. singapore is the world's most densely populated country with atleast 1,000,000 inhabitants.

swaziland has the world's highest HIV/AIDS rate of infection, with about 38% of the population being infected.

also, i had a popsicle and the joke was "what does the alphabet like the best about the beach?" "the c shells."
