Answer 1

There's this (WHITE) bread in the United States called "Wonderbread". You can take a huge loaf of this and compress it into a cube smaller than a small ice cube! Big or squished, it tastes like paper.
We always used to say: "It's a WONDER they call this stuff bread."

Answer 5

i couldnt think of a wonder so decided to add an interesting fact....did you know that lots of laws that are no longer required have never been windrawn like hackney carriages used to be actual horse carriages so a law introduced was that all "cabbies" must carry hay to feed there engines (horses) AND in washington dc un married women were not allowed to parachute on a sunday????? not sure why. in one cheese factory where tours are allowed evil women (prostitutes ) are not allow in as it was thought o taint the wonderful pure smell yuk!!!! and lastly some where in america (sorry i cant remember where) its illegal to have sex on the steps of a church at night (it was never a law not to have sex on the steps of a church during day time) oh well useless pub ammo for all x

Answer 6

Assuming that a "wonder" is something created by mankind rather than an accident of birth or an attitude, my vote goes to the Thermos bottle. It keeps cold things cold and hot things hot. How does it know?

Answer 7

The internet, the internal combustion engine, skyscrapers, nuclear power, the microchip and all the advances made in medicine over the past century.

Answer 8

Black keys are not evenly distributed on a piano because our modern musical scales are a mix of the European notes (white keys) and the more recently adopted Chinese pentatonic scale (black keys)

Changing something as fundamental as where piano keys go or what they are named would destroy hundreds of years of musical history

Answer 9

One more? Alfie chatting with Wisdom like this. What a pity we don't make sense of each other though, despite this wondrous facility at our disposal. (PS - that Todd guy above is amazing isn't he!)
