Interesting Invention – The flushing toilet
The inventor of the flushing toilet was Thomas Crapper. (His name might be a clue to where the word “crap” came from.)
Interesting People – Walt Disney
Walt Disney was afraid of mice. (Maybe Mickey was an attempt for him to confront his fears?)
Interesting Fact – The Earth
Earth is the only planet not named after a pagan God. (Well maybe it is and we just don’t know it. Mars is the Roman god of war, so wouldn’t it be nice if Earth were the Goddess of peace? )
Interesting Food – The Pumpkin
Edited – According to the Guinness Book of Records, the world’s largest pumpkin weighed 666.32 kg (1,469 lb) at the Pennsylvania Giant Pumpkin Growers Association Weigh-off, on October 1, 2005. (Now I know why my mum used to call me her little pumpkin.)
Interesting Food – The cabbage
The largest cabbage ever recorded weighed 144 pounds. (That’s a lot of coleslaw!)
