Here’s 5 interesting things you can talk about this week with your family, friends and co-workers!
1: Did you know that the Anglican Church at 30 Prince William Street in St. Stephen, with its Gothic-style architecture, was built in 1863? It was one of the largest and most architecturally ambitious churches built in New Brunswick during that time period.
2: At exactly 5:34 AM ADT on June 21st, the sun reaches its highest northern point, marking the astronomical start of summer in the Northern Hemisphere and the longest day of the year.
3: Ants don’t have ears and “listen” by feeling vibrations in the ground. They communicate and navigate by leaving invisible chemical trails called pheromones, which act as scent highways to guide nest-mates directly to food sources.
4: Graduation ceremonies trace their origins back to the 12th-century European universities. The word itself comes from the Latin word gradus, meaning “step”.
5: The top-grossing movie released in June 2006 was Pixar’s animated hit “Cars”, which earned approximately $462 million worldwide.
