#FunFactsFriday

Submitted by admin on 28 February 2020

1.            February used to be the last month of the year, which is why it has the shortest number of days.
2.            Months that begin on a Sunday always have a Friday the 13th in them. An example is March, 2020.

3.            The word “Android” means a human with a male robot appearance. The female equivalent is a “Gynoid.”

4.            When typewriters were introduced, typing too fast would jam the keys. QWERTY keyboards were introduced to space out commonly used characters to slow typists down and prevent jamming. So, your device keyboard was literally made to slow your typing speed. :) 

5.           That moment when you think your phone is vibrating but it isn't is known as “Phantom Vibration Syndrome” . Research suggests the cause for this is someone being over-involved with their phone.
