Today's Quote
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-r2KPPaA7bls/UD4yumZCy_I/AAAAAAAABbU/AyqJ7xBITV4/s1600/moon2.jpg"That's one small step for [a] man; one giant leap for mankind."

"It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn't feel like a giant. I felt very, very small."

~ Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the Moon

Today's Facts
One day on the Moon is 27 days on the Earth.

The Moon causes most of the ocean tides because of the force of gravity between the Moon and the Earth.

The Moon is about four and a half billion years old, about the same age as the Earth.

The Moon is about 384,000 km from the Earth.

The surface of the Moon is about the same size as the continent of Africa.
Today's (bad) Joke
Did you hear about the great new restaurant on the moon? The food's excellent but there's no atmosphere.

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qbgKRFVSyIQ/UD4-c7LgakI/AAAAAAAABbo/1A71F7VN6Ms/s1600/moon3.jpg--------------------
After the Americans went to the Moon, the Soviets announced they would be sending a man to the Sun.

The engineers objected. 'If you send a man to the Sun, he will burn up'.

'What do you think we are, stupid?', they replied. 'We'll send him at night!'

That's all for today!Tell your friends. Read the words on the blog at
students.hotchpotchenglish.com
And see you next time!

I'm very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that." (Bill Shankly, Liverpool Football Manager)The Scottish Cup tie between Falkirk and Inverness Caledonian Thistle in 1979 was postponed no fewer than 29 times because of bad weather.A Manchester City fan was banned in 1995 from bringing dead chickens into City’s Maine Road ground. He apparently used to celebrate City's goals by swinging the birds around his head.In 2004, James Hayter came on as an 84th minute substitute for Bournemouth against Wrexham and scored the fastest Football League hat-trick ever. It took less than 140 seconds.Two guys were walking through a cemetery when they saw a tombstone that read:"Here lies John Sweeney, a good man and a Chelsea fan."So, one of them asked the other: "When the hell did they start putting two people in one grave?"_____________________________________________________________Podcast 45 {Quote~Fact~Fun} ~ "Football Crazy"Created & written by Sab WillCopyright 2012 / ___________________________________________________Visit Hotch Potch English ~ The Unique English Teaching Website

(Anonymous)Men honk more than women, and men and women honk more at women than at men.Drivers in convertibles with the tops down are less likely to honk than those with the top up.Drivers honk faster at cars whose drivers are on cell phones. And drivers are more likely to honk at people from another state or country than their own.Drivers honk less on weekends.The probability of being involved in a traffic accident is directlyproportional to time spent on the road. Driving fast decreases one'sexposure.One third of traffic accidents are caused by drunk drivers; two thirdsare caused by non-drunk drivers.Therefore, the safest way to drive is drunk and VERY fast._____________________________________________________________Podcast 44 {Quote~Fact~Fun} ~ "Driving Me Nuts"Created & written by Sab WillCopyright 2012 / ___________________________________________________Visit Hotch Potch English ~ The Unique English Teaching Website

Today's Quote

"Elections are won by men and women chiefly because most people vote against somebody rather than for somebody." (Franklin P. Adams 1944)You need 500 mayors' signatures to be able to run for president in France.Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who loves orgies and violent sex, could easily have been France's new president.The age limit for theoretically becoming the president of France is now 18!The French try to keep election results secret until the end. Special 'coded' Tweets included: - Netherlands-Hungary qualify for return leg - Dutch cheese at 27 euros, Tokai wine at 25 euros - high-heeled shoes are going out of fashion* Code for François Hollande - Netherlands / Dutch cheese* Code for Nicolas Sarkozy - Hungary / Tokai wine / high-heeled shoes_____________________________________________________________Podcast 43 {Quote~Fact~Fun} ~ "Election Madness"Created & written by Sab WillCopyright 2012 / ___________________________________________________Visit Hotch Potch English ~ The Unique English Teaching Website
