Nice one, but you also have to mention that apple begins with an 'a'... :p We can't start a sentence with because, because because is a conjunction. Thats another.
Because I forgot to mention that "apple" starts with A, my sentence is not completely correct. :D

Proof that your sentence is not true. ;-)

Thank you! :) (avatar)

You're welcome.

George Bernard Shaw is the ONLY person to have won both the Nobel Prize for Literature (1925) and the Oscar for his works on the film 'Pygmalion'. He wanted to refuse the Nobel Prize but he had to accept it due to his wife considered it as a tribute to Ireland. He however refused the monetary award and requested to use it for the translation of the works of his friend August Strindberg from Swedish to English.

The search engine - Google got its name from the word 'Googol' meaning the number '1' with 100 zeroes after it. That kind of explains why the bottom part of the Google website, which displays page number has 'Goooooooooo...gle' written, with corresponding page numbers below them.
NOTE : The Goooooogle thing does not appear on iPad, so you need a computer.

The Times (UK) of 22nd August 1978 contained the most number of misprints ever in a single issue of a newspaper - about 97! In an article about the Pope, he was called "The Pop" throughout!

If you had Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia, you would fear to name the ailment you are having, provided you remember it. Know why? Its the fear of long words! Ever thought such a thing existed? I'm serious...

Tigers, leopards and jaguars love Calvin Klein's Obsession for men. It's used to attract these animals to cameras in the wilderness.

My goodnight fact : Apple stores all conversation on Siri on its servers, so now, you might give a second thought before saying "I love you" to Siri, just to see what it replies. :p

At the 1912 Olympics, a marathon runner quit and went home to Japan without telling it to the officials. He was considered a missing person in Sweden for 50 years. In 1966, he was invited to complete the distance. His time was 54 years, 8 months, 6 days, 5 hours, 32 minutes and 20.379 seconds.
