Your Memories & Wishes:

reminding you of the day we sat in class 40 years ago to listen to the live telecast of man's first step on the surface of the moon. Rajendran is somewhere on holiday where he cannot access the computer, so he called me to sent this out to you. If you people recall anything about the event please recollect and let us know.

By the way, its also the 69ers'  40th anniversary. A big cheer          to all of you. Wishing you good health always.

Cheers!

.I remember...in fact I tell this story all time in my workshops on innovative thinking - of how Barbara brought her short wave radio into our class, tuned into the landing broadcast...probably freaked out the rest of the staff (& the principal) for doing something that isn NOT in the lesson plan!

I remember Barb said something like: "This is  your lesson for today...for history is beng made..."

Thanks Barb for 'breaking the rules' in 1969 in  Singapore and making that day memorable for me in more than one  way.

I have been thinking of you all since all the hype about the moon landing 40 years ago, and remembering my little trannie on the desk and trying to hear over the short wave radio with all the crackle...

What memory though and it is so good to know that you all remember that day as we, if I remember, just sat and listened for some time. It wasn't shown on TV in Singapore, but my previous school in Australia at that time sent the children home to watch it on their TV’s. It a was about 1pm local time then.

...and happy 40th anniversary to you all too!

Love and joy to all,

Barbara

Did You Know..?

1. North Dakota is the only state in the US that has never had an earthquake.

2. The microwave was invented after a researcher walked by a radar tube and a chocolate bar melted in his pocket.

3. Mosquito repellents don't repel. They hide you. The spray blocks the mosquito's sensors so they don't know you're there.

4. 2 and 5 are the only prime numbers that end in 2 or 5.

5. In England, the Speaker of the House is not allowed to speak.

6. There are 336 dimples on a regulation golf ball.

7. As of July 2005, the smallest country in terms of population was Pitcairn Islands with 45 inhabitants!

8. Licking a stamp leads to the consumption of 1/10 of a calorie.

9. Most elephants weigh less than the tongue of a blue whale.

10. Mosquito's are attracted to the color blue twice as much as to any other color.

11. Abraham Lincoln faces to the right on a penny while all the other presidents face to the left on US coins.

12.On average people fear spiders more than death.

13. Did you know that there are 206 bones in the adult human body and there are 300 in children (as they grow some of the bones fuse together).

14."Go," is the shortest complete sentence in the English language.

15.Soccer is the most attended or watched sport in the world.

16.A short time before Lincoln's assassination, he dreamed he was going to die, and he related his dream to the Senate.

17.Apples, not caffeine, are more efficient at waking you up in the morning

18.The Mona Lisa has no eyebrows. It was the fashion in Renaissance Florence to shave them off.

19.To prevent evil spirits from entering the bodies of their male children, parents dressed them in blue. Blue was chosen because it's the color of the sky and was therefore associated with heavenly spirits. Girls weren't dressed in blue, apparently because people didn't think that evil spirits would bother with them. Eventually, however, girls did get their own color: pink. Pink was chosen because of an old English legend which said that girls were born inside of pink roses.

20.The first MTV video was "Video Killed the Radio Star," by the Buggles
