did you know that

1.Eating celery is technically exercise! When you eat celery, you burn more calories than you consume.

A celery stalk contains 6 calories.
Chewing your celery stalk burns: 5 calories/hour
Because of the high insoluble fibre content of celery, you burn even more calories digesting that celery stalk. However, eat just celery and you'll not only be malnourished, but your metabolic rate will slow down to protect your body from your low caloric intake. So, when you inevitably get sick of celery and start eating real food, you'll pack on the pounds faster.

2. The sentence "The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog" uses every letter of the alphabet.

Go on, count the letters. It's typically used by font designers to demonstrate their creations.

3. You can't hum while holding your nose closed.

4. The word "queue" is the only word in the English language that is still pronounced the same way when the last four letters are removed.
