The 'spot' on 7UP comes from its inventor, who had red eyes. He was an albino.

On average, 12 newborn babies will be given to the wrong parents, daily.

Most lipstick contains fish scales...

Donald Duck comics were banned from Finland because he doesn't wear pants.

Ketchup was sold in the 1830's as medicine.

Upper and lower cas 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... Simple...

Leonardo DaVinci could write with one hand and draw with the other at the same time... Multi-tasking...

Because metal was scarce, the Oscars given out during WW II were made of wood.

The name 'Wendy' was made up for the book Peter Pan.. There was never a recorded Wendy before.

There are no words in the dictionary that rhyme with: orange, purple, and silver.

Leonardo Da Vinci invented scissors. It took him 10 years to paint Mona Lisa's lips.

If you have 3 quarters, 4 dimes, and 4 pennies, you have $1.19 and you also have the largest amount of money in coins without being able to make change for a dollar.

By raising your legs slowly and lying on your back, you can't sink in quicksand...

The phrase 'rule of thumb' is derived from an old English law which stated that you couldn't beat your wife with anything wider than your thumb.

Chewing gum while peeling onions will keep you from crying.

I learned that while I believe some of those things are true I don't believe all of them are true.

But you know.....I could be wrong. Although I doubt it very seriously.

The natural condition of the theatre business is one of insurmountable obstacles on the road to imminent disaster. However, as strange and unbelievable as it sounds, it always turns out well. No one knows why this is. It’s a mystery.

All this stuff are lies!!! Also it is not grammatically correct to put two exclamation points (!!) at the end of a sentence............. It goes one to three.
