How many fingers in a hand?

Well, it could be between 10 and 20.... if you are looking at bananas.

A bunch of bananas still on the plant are called a Hand and there can be between 10 and 20 bananas per hand and yes, they are called fingers.

India is the worlds largest producer of Bananas by far. India produces more than 10,000,000 tonnes of bananas MORE than the number two country which is Brazil. India produces almost 20 million tonnes of bananas per year.

Although Bananas are only grown sparingly in the Continental United States, Washington State has a Banana Museum.

To have your photo taken with the first ever camera, you would have to sit still for 8 hours.

Just ask this guy

Man getting a shoeshine was the first person successfully photographed.

1838 by Louis Daguerre

In a little over two years after this photograph was taken, the first nude photographs were being made.

Surprised it took that long.

Not even close. The first Daguerreotypes took between 60 and 90 seconds to expose. Still a long time, but hardly eight hours.

Their beer must be like American mass produced beer.

Dreamt (A past participle) and its various forms (undreamt, redreamt) are the only words in the English language to end in -mt.

I didn't "know" it, but since hot air rises it makes perfect sense.

Not if they're caused by a pyroclastic surge on the slopes of a volcano!
