More Liddle Facts, and my comments

Liddle Fact No. 208:  Milk is heavier than cream

This one is interesting to me because it highlights to me that in different parts of the world people might have different notions of what "cream" is.  Back in Wisconsin i would either think whipped cream, maybe ice cream, or maybe the "cream" that you put in coffee, which really is just milk.

Since coming to Sydney, however, cream is always referred to as the thicker substance that "whipped cream" comes from.  this stuff was something i didnt even know existed before coming here.  

furthermore, the more i think about this, the more i realize that this could have absolutely nothing to do with cultures or geography, and everything to do with my exposure to the kitchen!  Back home i did not do much cooking... here i don't do much either but i seem to be around people who talk about food more (other than chicken wings, there was plenty of "wings" talk back home)

anyway so thats my thought process upon reading this "Liddle fact"

I also have liddle fact No. 212: "Eskimos do not have a common written language"

another very interesting one.  To me this raises the question of "what is an 'eskimo'?"  I always thought this was a sort of generalisation of various indigenous tribes located in polar climates, so the fact that they dont have a common language isnt really all that notable, since they're separate communities...

I'm looking at this post now, and all the contractions are highlighted as spelling mistakes.  i also am noticing that i'm not capitalizing the proper "I" all the time.  This is something i'm aware of, but have decided that its my blog and if i dont feel like correcting these things, then i dont have to.  there, i've said it, that feels better.  you dont intimidate me you squiggly red underlines!
