Today, i skipped all protocols and i decided to bring 'I Thought You Knew' on a Tuesday! This is a snippet of what to expect on Friday. Enjoy
- Black Box
Airplane accidents are statistical rarities. But when they happen, they're often fatal, and people want answers as to why their loved ones died.
There are usually many unanswered questions as to what brought the plane down. Investigators turn to the airplane's flight data recorder (FDR) and cockpit voice recorder (CVR), also known as "black boxes," for answers.
The strange thing here is that the box is orange in color and not black.
- Greenland
Greenland (Greenlandic: Kalaallit Nunaat [kaˈlaːɬit ˈnunaːt]) is an autonomous country within the Kingdom of Denmark, located between the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans, east of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. Though physio-graphically a part of the continent of North America, Greenland has been politically and culturally associated with Europe (specifically Norway and later Denmark) for more than a millennium.
Greenland is, in area, the world's largest island, over three-quarters of which is covered by the only contemporary ice sheet outside of Antarctica. With a population of 56,370 (2013), it is the least densely populated country in the world.
There seems to be anything really green about the greenland. Wondering where they got the name.

- Red Sea
The Red Sea, or what is sometimes called the Etyhraean Sea, is a sea water inlet of the Indian Ocean, lying between Africa and Asia.
So how did the Red Sea get it's name? Theories abound, but no one knows for sure.
It could be from the red-hued "sea sawdust" a type of bacterial that grows near the water's surface. Some historian believe the Red Sea is named for the Himyarites, a group who once lived along it's shores.
