Of all cheese customs, one of the more unusual
was that of the "groaning cheese."
Years ago in Europe, a prospective father would
nibble on a huge chunk of cheese
while awaiting the home birth of his child.
Instead of pacing outside the bedroom door,
the father would eat from the center
of the cheese until a large hole had been gnawed out.
Later, his newborn infant was ceremoniously
passed through the hole.
(ok, really weird...LOL)
The Angel of the North, Gateshead, UK,
with a wingspan of 177 feet (54 m),
is the largest sculpture of an angel in the world.
It is estimated that 60 percent of home smoke detectors
in use do not work because they don't have a battery in them
or the battery in the detector no longer has any potency.

Country comedienne Minnie Pearl
always wore a hat with a price tag
hanging from it when she performed.
The amount ascribed on the price tag was $1.98.
In 1860, the first pure food and drug act became law in Great Britain.
