Bananas grow on a tropical plant that is not a tree -it has no
trunk. Bananas are gigantic herbs that spring from underground
stems. What appears to be the trunk is a false stem formed by
tightly wrapped leaf sheaths. With stalks 25 feet high, they're
the largest plant on earth without a woody stem.

The Windiest place on earth is Mt. Washington, in New Hampshire.

Earth is hit by 6 tons of meteorites every day.

Cows fart on average about 300 times a day. Humans fart, on
average, only 8 times per day.

In 1980, more than 6 million trees were uprooted or flattened by
the blast of Mount St. Helens in Washington.

Lightning strikes the earth somewhere more than seventeenmillion
times every day, or about two hundred times every second.
