14. Donald Duck comics were banned from Finland because he doesn't 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 DaVinci could write with one hand and draw with the other at the same time, hence, multi-tasking was invented.

26. By raising your legs slowly and lying on your back, you can't sink in quicksand (and you thought this list was completely useless.)

27. 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.

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

32. Guinness Book of Records holds the record for being the book most often stolen from Public Libraries.

Lucci...ummm..I didn't think that sounded right so I looked it up. Jeanette and Victor Lucci who reside in Florida are her parents. For some odd reason this rumor was started.

Bobber...I was going to answer: Rykat ( sorry Ry)

I find it hard to believe that anything that will withstand a vacuum, radiation, and so forth, could be damaged by mere "wind". Granted, it may not be pleasant, but damaged?
