There are two words in the English language that have all 5 vowels in order...they are:
:) abstemious and facetious :)

I love knowing that...dont know if i can work abstemious into every day language and conversations, but I do use facetious all the time... ;D
pettifogger:
“Dreamt” is the only English word that ends in the letters “mt”. Being pedantic, I would point out that means there is also adreamt and undreamt
pettifogger:
Did you now a snail can sleep for three years? Desert varieties have been known to sleep for this long.

Bugs they are everywhere...even in your eyelashes, and on your clothes!!!
The best monsters have been overgrown bugs. And you don't need to visit your local multiplex to see them in living color. Wherever you are as you read this, there's likely to be a spider or other insect less than three feet away. But don't squeal. Most of the world's bug species are harmless, and many are extremely beautiful -- as kids seem to know almost instinctively. What squeamish mom hasn't watched in horrified amazement as her four year old has eagerly leaned over to within spitting distance of a stinkbug or a garden spider?
