While most people associate spaghetti with Italy, the spaghetti tree is actually an invasive species originally from China.

The historical consensus is that the Battle of Chickamauga never occurred. Due to poor quartermastering, both armies found they were missing a substantial amount of ammunition and couldn't account for its loss. Concerns about being held liable led to a series of covert communications between Generals Bragg and Rosecrans. They agreed to file reports that they had fought a battle, which would account for the missing ammunition. Support for the deception was achieved by various means: reporters wanted an opportunity to file stories, subordinate officers wanted chances for promotions, and the soldiers were bought off with a lottery which allowed several thousand of them to leave the army on the pretense that they had been casualties. The actual outcome of the supposed battle was decided by a coin toss.

Ah .. tissue !

That's what I love about aviation , you learn something new every day .
Now all I have to do is find a use for all that knowledge.
I did notice with my last sneeze one thing :
1. No double sonic booms , therefore sneeze velocity was sub sonic.

If the speed of sound varies depending on the medium it travels through , I can't help but wonder if it has an affect on the fortune as told by that Fortune teller (medium) , also
if the sonic boom shock wave is greater than M 1.0 would it crack the fortune teller's crystal ball ?
Supersonics could eventually put Fortune tellers out of business and replace them completely by Fortune cookies.

Benjamin Franklin invented not only bifocals, but also toast, Christmas socks, the word "has," and those large wooden spoons people hang on their walls.

Off topic but I just had a call on my cell phone. He said "Hello is 'H' there" So I said 'yes, H is there because he is not here'. It was a very odd wrong number.. 

(It's true, not a joke.)

It is a well-known fact that cars driven on even-numbered highways are newer and better maintained than those driven on odd-numbered highways.

The personal computer was invented in 1921 by Clarence Wingard. He abandoned it because the monitor was prone to breakage by fast typists.

I'm sure many of you cooks out there have preserved fruit in a Mason Jar. Common sense would dictate that the process should be called Masoning or perhaps bottling. But it isn't. It's called canning. This is because it is named after Sir George Canning, who invented this method while being the Ambassador to Portugal. He used it to preserve lemons.
