Wood Becomes Stone

Its_gora
Arizona's Petrified Forest is not a forest at all. It is a hauntingly beautiful landscape filled with magnificent specimens of petrified wood. Petrified wood is a wood that has turned into stone. How did this happen? Millions of years ago, the forests covering Northern arizona were buried under a sea of mud, sand, volcanic ash, and and the pressure over a period of time turned the wood into stone, to create a forest of  Stone Trees!!

A remarkable fish story

Its_gora
One day  Mr. Walter Ker, a New Zelander threw a mussel,which is a type of shell fish into sea. A fish known as a snapper grabbed it and swam away. Soon this became a regular practice, and Mr. ker would feed the snapper every day. Before long, other snappers joined the first as they learned that free food was being handed out each day at the same time, at the same spot. What is more, they would even allow Mr. ker to stroke their backs and lift them out of the water!!!!!!

Isn't it remarkable?

Highest Number of Passengers in an Aeroplane

Its_gora
That the record for most number of passengers on an aeroplane was created way back in 1991, when 1,120 people boarded a Boeing 747 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia??
That was during operation Solomon, when  Ethiopian Jews were evacuated to Israel..
Records show that 1,087 passengers were registered..

The flight was supposed to carry 760 passengers, but they were so thin that more could be squeezed in; while many children hide in their mother's robes..
With two babies being born during the flight; 1,122 people stepped off the plane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a record!! Ha, Ha!
