Fun Fact Friday!

Okay, I've been failing on the fun fact fridays lately... my apologies! I work at a place that plans customized international trips for people, so I learn a lot of useless facts about random cities and countries. That's where a lot of these fun facts come from. My coworkers and I have decided that we'd be very good at jeopardy. Anyway, here they are! Oh, and happy Friday!

1. An elephant has 50,000 muscles in its trunk alone.

From www.treehugger.com
2. The world's largest cuckoo clock is in Wiesbaden, Germany.
3. Frederick Chopin's heart is in an urn inside a column in a church in Warsaw. Is it just me, or is that odd?
4. I sent my first query letter EVER this week, and then some more! (I'll have a post about querying in a couple of days...)

Not that odd when you consider Chopin had his heart removed and put in a jar of brandy because he feared he would return as a vampire.

Well, some say it's because Chopin feared being buried alive, but I prefer the vampire story.

And good luck with the querying :tup:

Haha I didn't know that part of it - he sounds like an interesting fellow. And thanks!
