 FACTUAL RIDDLES LXV

1. In what way are Kentucky, Massachusetts, Virginia, and Pennsylvania different from the other 46 states.?

2. Why are there no mosquitos in Disney World, despite the fact that it's built in the middle of Florida swampland?

Answers:

1. According to their Constitutions, these "states" are really Commonwealths.

2. Careful planning and landscaping have kept Disney World nearly free of mosquitos. There is no standing water, making it virtually impossible for mosquitos to lay their eggs. Building are designed to allow no place for water to pool. Even plants are selected that have no place for water to pool on their leaves. An undetectable amount of garlic is sprayed in the air - a smell notoriously hated by mosquitos. Disney even thought of the possibility of birds bothering visitors. Speakers near restaurants and potential nesting sights emit the sound of a distressed bird - keeping the birds away. It's an annoying sound, but it does the job.
