fact for 19 nov 2008

The largest state in Australia, Western Australia, is about the same size as Western Europe but only has a population of approx. 2 million people.

The word ‘Khakhi’ originates from an Indian word for mud. During the 19th century, British soldiers in India noticed that when their white service uniforms became stained by a type of mud there was a tan, camouflage effect. The term was takenfrom the natives word for that particular mud.

Elephants are the only animals that can't jump. ( thankfully !!)
