Smörgåsbord, the legendary tableful of tasty edibles, comes to us from the Swedish language. It means literally Butter-Goose-Table.
Today, courtesy of the Canadian Science radio show Quirks and Quarks' annual Question Roadshow, I present a veritable Butter-Goose-Tableful of facts for you, my loyal readers. I encourage you to listen to the whole program.
The show answers burning questions, such as:
Why do Canadian Geese honk when they fly? (To let other geese know where they are.)
AND
How do lakes get fish in them? (In the past, lakes were connected to each other by rivers, and the enterprising fish swam up these rivers.)
AND
Are identical twins actually identical? (Yes and no.)
My fact-loving readership will devour this, I'm sure. Save room for the Butter-Goose, though!
