IMPORTANTDAY [ 14 February Ferris Wheel Day ]



IMPORTANTDAY 
[ 14 February Ferris Wheel Day ]
      

      George Washington Gale Ferris, Jr. a civil engineer made the first Ferris Wheel at the World's Colombian Exhibition in Chicago in 1893.
  
    The purpose of this day is obvious.. to celebrate the birthday of this great inventor and to enjoy his invention. The trouble is, there aren't many carnivals, amusement parks or fairgrounds operating in mid- February in North America. You may have to settle with enjoying old photos of trips to a fair or amusement park.
   

     Austria, a country in love  with their Ferris Wheels , also claims to have created this day. Their claim is that this date was chosen because in Austria this is historically the most weather friendly day of the year.

  

              DID U KNOW ?
1.The side of a tree trunk with the most green growth and moss on it is always the side facing north.

2. The pufferfish, eaten as a delicacy in Japan, contains a potent neurotoxin called tetrodotoxin.

3. Camels have three eyelids to protect themselves from blowing sand.


             AMAZING
