Jokes Corner
Did you know?
 
A strawberry isn’t a berry but a banana is.
 
Humans share 50% of their DNA with bananas.
 
Avocados and watermelon are berries, too.
 
Carrots were originally purple.
 
Ripe cranberries will bounce like rubber balls.
 
An average ear of corn has an even number of rows, usually 16.
 
Peanuts are not nuts. They grow in the ground so they are legumes.
 
Apples, like pears and plums, belong to the rose family.
 
There are over 7,500 varieties of apples throughout the world, and it would take you 20 years to try them all if you had one each day.
