#Onehundred

As of the end of this post, I have reached my first milestone of 100 posts on blogspot since beginning over 18 months ago.
So I thought, after my awesome Mum gave me the idea, of writing a post about 100 and how it relates to different things - although I'd love to manage 100, I think I'll keep it to ten!


  1. 100 $1 coins will weigh only 800 grams.

  2. A person can receive a letter from the Queen once they reach their 100th birthday.

  3. In French, "One Hundred" is known as "cent" - might pay to be careful when talking money in France!

  4. One Hundred years is a Century, but Century is also a well known term in Cricket - 100 runs in a single innings.

  5. You can expect a sneeze to exceed speeds of 100mph

  6. The first 10 odd numbers add up to 100.

  7. (Almost) 100 years ago, Mrs. Chippy died - a cat. A well known (found male) sailing cat, adored by a carpenter, Harry McNish on the Endurance ship - set for Antarctica. When the ship was destroyed, Mrs. Chippy was shot, as a "weak member" not needed in the crew. McNish was so disgusted with this and he made it known to his crew - in later years he did not receive a "Polar Medal" like the rest of the crew at the time, due to this disagreement. However when he died, a life size bronze statue of Mrs. Chippy was placed on his grave by the NZ Antarctic Society.

  8. The Roman Numeral of one hundred is - C

  9. Our New Zealand $100 note has Earnest Rutherford of Nelson - who discovered the Atom.

10. Only 100 days until our Kiwi summer "officially" begins again!! 




Ok so this is perhaps not the best tribute to 100 posts that I could manage, but when I realised it was only 100 days until summer, I thought that was pretty significant! I'm pretty sure most of these facts are true, but they were found on the internet - and everything found on the internet is definitely true, right?! ;)
100 posts on here may be a milestone, but by now I couldn't imagine how many blog posts I've actually made - when thinking back to previous school years. Although I'm pretty lucky to still have my old school mates as blogging friends - where would I be without you lot huh??

    11. Come on, numb toes are a sign that you need to get out a bit... Come down here for awhile, it may never reach double digits in temperature, but we can still give you work that'll get you sweating in minutes... ;P

    13. Out of the country? Yeah, I know ;P haha you guys are just cruel :P besides, I'm after high temperatures, not high sweat levels ;P hahaha

      Delete
    14. Temperature results in sweat. If you only work semi-hard, you get warm but without sweat. Besides, you ever seen Billy T James? Snow in Darwin, just remember that... :P
