Did you know?

India has more honor students than the US has kids: i think thats interesting because everyone views America as a smart country when India has way more smarter kids!

There are 31 billion searches on google a month compared to 2.7 billion in 2006: I think that that shows how much we all rely on the internet. It also shows that people are using the internet more than they use books and other resources!
