You can hear a blue whale's heartbeat from more than 2 miles away.

If I was confronted by a Blue Whale I would want to be two miles away.

We're pretty near the water and the noise when they swim by is really irritating.

Did you know that someone calculated that if each of the original 12 disciples had taken the gospel to only 2 people per day — and each of those people had, likewise, taken the gospel to just two people per day — (and each one who heard the gospel had also continued teaching only 2 other people per day) it would have taken only about 18 years for God's word to have reached every person in the entire known world?

And if they read the book of Numbers do you think they would have done it quicker?
