Who Knew<br />

Do Dogs Dream? Yes, in fact dogs dream like humans and about similar things.<br />

Many people believe that dogs do dream. Most dog owners have noticed that at various<br />

times during their sleep, some dogs may quiver, make leg twitches or may even growl<br />

or snap at something in their dream, giving the impression that they are dreaming about<br />

something.<br />

Why is the sky blue? A clear cloudless day-time sky is blue because molecules in<br />

the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light. When we look<br />

towards the sun at sunset, we see red and orange colours because the blue light has<br />

been scattered out and away from the line of sight.<br />

How many licks to the center of a tootsie pop? A group of engineering students<br />

from Purdue University reported that its licking machine, modeled after a human tongue,<br />

took an average of 364 licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop. Twenty of the group's<br />

volunteers assumed the licking challenge-unassisted by machinery-and averaged 252<br />

licks each to the center.<br />
