Book of General Ignorance

As promised earlier, here are a few gems from the book of Ignorance- edited for brevity, of course.

1. Who coined the phrase The Survival of the Fittest? Not Charles Darwin, who used it, but Herbert Spencer.

2. Many Eskimos don't know what an igloo is. Only some live in one.

3. Which metal is the best conductor? Silver..

4. How many States of Matter are there? Solid, liquid, gas, Bose-Einstein condensate, and several others..totaling to about 15. Quark-glucon plasma being one of the exotic ones..

5. And will close with this..how many senses do we humans have? Five? No, more like nine...Body awareness (knowing where the body parts are), Sense of balance, Sense of heat, Perception of pain...interestingly, the brain has no pain receptors...so headaches actually originate somewhere outside!
