wear pants.

15. Ketchup was sold in the 1830's as medicine.

16. Upper and lower case letters are named 'upper' and 'lower'
because in the time when all original print had to be set in
individual letters, the upper case' letters were stored in the case
on top of the case that stored the smaller, 'lower case' letters.

17. Leonardo Da Vinci could write with one hand and draw with the

19. There are no clocks in Las Vegas gambling casinos.

20. The name Wendy was made up for the book Peter Pan; there was

28. The first product Motorola started to develop was a record player for automobiles. At that time, the most known player on the market

34. George Carlin said it best about Martha Stewart . "Boy, I feel a lot safer
now that she's behind bars. O. J. Simpson and Kobe Bryant are still walking
around; Osama Bin Laden too, but they take the ONE woman in America willing
to cook, clean, and work in the yard, and they haul her fanny off to jail."
