Pink Trivia
Color Pink
Pink symbolizes: love, beauty
Pink is the color of universal love. Pink is a quiet color. Lovers of beauty favor pink. A pink carnation means "I will never forget you".
Pink Energy
Pink is a combination of red and white. The quality of energy in pink is determined by how much red is present. White is the potential for fullness, while red helps you to achieve that potential. Pink combines these energies. Shades of deep pink, such as magenta, are effective in neutralizing disorder and violence. Some prisons use limited deep pink tones to diffuse aggressive behaviour.
Pink provides feelings of caring, tenderness, self-worth and love, acceptance.
Put some pink in your life when you want:
calm feelings
to neutralize disorder
relaxation
acceptance, contentment
Pink gem stone properties
Pink gemstones can be used to promote love, self-worth, order and protection from violence or aggression. Carry or place pink gemstones around your home or office to stimulate love and beauty.

Hippo facts:
With its eyes, ears, and nostrils on the top of the head and nose, the hippo can hear, see, and breathe while most of its body is underwater. Surprisingly, however, hippos cannot swim! Their bodies are far too dense to even float, so they move around by pushing off from the riverbed or simply walking along the bottom in a slow-motion gallop, lightly touching the bottom with their toes like aquatic ballet dancers.

Money notes are not made from paper, they are made mostly from a special blend of cotton and linen. In 1932, when a shortage of cash occurred in Tenino, Washington, USA, notes were made out of wood for a brief period.

Legend has it, that in the 6th century, scraps of bread was rolled into a portrait that resembles hands folded in prayer and baked to be given to children attending church. We call them pretzels.

Shortest Play In World Drama
Samuel Beckett (1906-1989), author of the most influential play in post-war drama, Waiting For Godot (1953), also wrote the shortest play in world drama - the 30-second Breath. He wrote the play in early 1969, as part of the theatrical revue Oh, Calcutta!, but he eventually withdrew the work from the production when it was altered without his permission.
