MORE PHOBIAS

Image
             I think I’m in the mood for some more phobias again v Turophobia: This is the fear of cheese.   v Ophthalmophobia: This is the fear of being stared at. v Achluophobia, nyctophobia: This is the fear of darkness. v Gynophobia: This means; fear of women. v Nosocomephobia: This means; fear of hospitals. v Ombrophobia: This is the fear of rain. v Hoplophobia: This is the fear of weapons, especially firearms. v Glossophobia: The fear of speaking in public. v Ergophobia: This is the fear of work. v Frigophobia: This is the fear of becoming cold.

DIRGE FOR MY SCHOOL'S PROPRIETOR

I decided to write a poem for my recently deceased proprietor and this is what i came up with. Enjoy reading this. I once knew a man who was very charitable, One who would give out all including his table and wouldn't mind using the floor provided others are comfy. He was a man of vision and philanthropy, A man who made great decisions in his prime and kept free of moral crime. He established a kind of education One which is affordable by all with accommodation. One with academic and co-curricular activities closely knit Despite the rough journey, it has been sweet We know you've gone to receive your reward, But your memories and achievements forever remain inward. You will be dearly missed by us all And your name is engraved in the hall- the hall of fame. BY: MAGNANIMOUS BEN

Facts you probably never knew !!!!!!!

If you add half a cup of lemon juice to your laundry, it brightens the whites. Pears when stored in a low oxygen environment may develop black specks.   A jiffy is actually a unit of time: 1/100 th of a second.   Leaving diluted lime juice in a teapot overnight cleans out the brown stains.     Ketchup was once used as medicine in the 1830s. The Oscars were once made out of wood because metal was scarce during World War2. It takes about £ 4000 to raise a dog to age 11(some people’s life savings).   Guinness Book of Records holds the record as the most stolen book from public libraries.   The longest word in English with its entire letters in alphabetical order is ALMOST. The elephant is the only mammal that can’t jump. Culled from the web by Magnanimous Ben
