Until the time of Michelangelo, many sculptors colored their statues. Most of the statues from ancient Greece and Rome at one time had been painted or polychromed. Rain through the ages washed off the paint and the statues were left in their natural marble.

The official flower of the Yukon Territory is the fireweed (Epilobium angustifolium).
This hardy plant with an attractive pink flower, is one of the first to reappear
after a forest fire.

Banana trivia:
A cluster of bananas is called a hand and consists of 10 to 20 bananas, which are known as fingers.
As bananas ripen, the starch in the fruit turns to sugar. Therefore, the riper the banana the sweeter it will taste.
Banana plants are the largest plants on earth without a woody stem. They are actually giant herbs of the same family as lilies, orchids and palms.
Bananas are a good source of vitamin C, potassium and dietary fiber.

All me life I wanted to be a barrah boy
A barrow boy I always wanted to be
I wheels me barrah it fills me up with pride
I'm a Costa, a Costa from over the other side
I turned me back on all the high society
Take me where the ripe bananas grow
I sells 'em a dozen a shillin'
That's how I makes me livin'
I should have been a barrah boy years ago
(get off me barrah)
I should have been a barrah boy years ago.
London Cockney song. Couldn't find the music but I could sing it for you :affraid:

Wow Oceanna. I thought is was East Indians.
Lucky and unlucky numbers
-- The luckiest number is eight because its Chinese word also means "prosper".
--The unluckiest number is four as it sounds like the Chinese word for death.
--Seven can also signify death.
--The number one means loneliness.
--The number "9" is good, because nine in Cantonese sounds like the word "sufficient"
