    German chocolate cake did not originate in Germany but is in fact named after a man, Sam German, who developed a brand of dark baking chocolate that was named after him. It was orignally called German's Chocolate Cake but the possessive form was dropped in the mid 20th century and it became known as German chocolate.

    I only know this because I wondered how in the world a tropical fruit came to be in a European dessert.

    I know that even Tide Sport with Febreeze can't get the stink out of my son's Red Robin cook's uniform.

    The hubs is a chef, so I know what you mean. Try vinegar. It also absorbs smells in a room if left in a cup.

    First, for the geek in us...
    The line, "To boldly go where no man has gone before" was hijacked verbatim from a 1957 White House booklet on space exploration.

    Because they were never shown (or even implied) there has been a long standing joke that there are no bathrooms on the Star Ship Enterprise.

    The transporter effect was glitter stirred in water and filmed upside down.

    Other tidbits I find interesting...
    Your body has enough iron in it to make a nail 3 inches long.

    Your body gives off enough heat in 30 minutes to bring half a gallon of water to a boil.

    The French tickler was invented by a Tibetan monk.

    The oldest known written recipe is for beer.

    The Sanskrit word for "war" means "desire for more cows."

    The word gymnastics is derived from the Greek word "gumnazein", which means; To train naked.

    So, let's all take out clothes off and head to the gym!

    Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio divorced mere months after her shooting the movie "The Seven Year Itch" - (thought she exposed too much of herself with the dress over the street grate scene). They had only been married 9 months up to that point.
