TAXI is spelt the same way in English, French, German, Swedish, Spainish, Danish, Norwegian, Dutch, Czech and Portugese.

Ewe and you are pronounced exactly the same yet have no letters in common.

The shortest sentence in the English language is "Go!".

The word "queuing" is the only word in the English language to have five consecutive vowels.

The word "therein" contains thirteen words spelled with consecutive letteres; the, he, her, er, here, I, there, ere, rein, re, in, therein and herein.

SWIMS is the longest word with 180 degree rotational symetry.

Dimples, concave, like those used on a golf ball, are designed to reattach the airflow that moves around the ball as it flies through the air. These dimples allow for further flights of the ball with the same energy input as a ball without dimples.
As far as I remember, designers were looking at putting dimples on the nose of commercial jets...

Precisely! :D Who'd say that the smoothest form isn't always the more efficient aerodinamically? :?

Car parts as well. Unfortunately, the stylists don't like it.
