Paphos People

If the population of China walked past you,

8 abreast, the line would never end because of the rate of reproduction.


February 1865 is the only month in recorded history not to have a full moon.

In the last 4,000 years, no new animals have been domesticated.

A shark is the only fish that can blink with both eyes.

This is in fact a fallacy. There was a full moon in February, 1865. It occurred on 1865 February 10 at 16:27 UTC.

This is not to say, however, that it is impossible for February to miss the full phase. The moon phases cycle every 29.5 days. Februrary, with 28 days (and 29 on a leap year), does miss a phase periodically.

In fact 1866, 1885, 1915, 1934, 1961 did not have a full moon.

In 1972, a leap year, the full moon occurred on 02/29 at 03:12 UTC.

As recently as 1999, there was no full moon during February...

The next is February 2018
