Fact: #1
Astronaut Neil Armstrong * first stepped on the moon with his left foot.
__________________________________________________ ____________________
Fact: #2
Hydroxydesoxycorticosterone and hydroxydeoxycorticosterones are the largest anagrams.**
_______________
Usefull Information:
*Neil Armstrong, Astronaut
* Born: 5 August 1930
* Birthplace: Wapakoneta, Ohio
* Best Known As: The first human to walk on the moon
On 20 July 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first human being to set foot on the moon. Armstrong was a veteran aviator: he had flown 78 combat missions over Korea as a Navy fighter pilot, then joined NASA as a civilian test pilot. He was accepted into the astronaut corps in 1962. Armstrong was the pilot of the Gemini 8 mission (launched 16 March 1966) and then was named commander for the Apollo 11 mission of 1969. Along with crewmates Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin, Armstrong flew to the moon; while Collins circled the moon in the command module Columbia, Armstrong and Aldrin landed on the lunar surface in the lunar module Eagle. Armstrong was the first to step onto the moon's surface, uttering the famous phrase "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." After retiring from NASA in 1971, Armstrong was a professor at the University of Cincinnati for nearly a decade.
Armstrong's first words on the moon are sometimes quoted as, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Armstrong maintains that he said "for a man," and that is how the statement was reported the next day, but tapes of his words are inconclusive.
**anagram [Gr.,=something read backward], rearrangement of the letters of a word or words to make another word or other words. A famous Latin anagram was an answer made out of a question asked by Pilate. The question was Quid est veritas? [What is truth?], and the answer Est vir qui adest [it is the man who is here]. An anagram that reads the same backward as forward is a palindrome, e.g., “Able was I ere I saw Elba.”

Did you know that everyday about 270,000 trees are flushed down the drain or end up as garbage all over the world?
Every time you use a toilet roll or other tissue products you might be directly contributing to this environmental destruction.
Tissue products, such as toilet paper, handkerchiefs, kitchen towels and napkins cannot be recycled after their use, for understandable reasons!
So it is important to ensure that the tissue products you buy contain a high level of recycled content.

The most expensive commercial ever made is one of the most famous. The famous '1984' Apple Macintosh commercial shown introducing Macintosh to the world, only once, during the 1984 Super Bowl. It was directed by Ridley Scott, and cost around $600,000 to $1 million to make. The commercial shows hundreds of people dressed in the same clothing going down dark hallways to a huge telescreen featuring Big Brother. A women in coloured clothing (representing the creativity in Macintosh), runs down the hallway followed by the Thought Police. She hurls a sledge hammer at Big Brother and the screen explodes, while the drones look on with dropped jaws.
