Members phkrause Posted September 14, 2020 Author Members Share Posted September 14, 2020 You can't usually smell your own house (or perfume) because of a survival instinct called "olfactory adaptation." The brain is always looking for new, unusual, or changing smells as a sign of possible danger, so it ignores all the smells that have already become familiar.

Members phkrause Posted September 23, 2020 Author Members Share Posted September 23, 2020 The use of the word “hello” as a telephone greeting has been credited to Thomas Edison. Alexander Graham Bell, who invented the telephone in 1885, never liked "hello" and advocated the use of "ahoy" as a telephonic greeting. However, "hello" quickly became the standard when the first telephone exchanges, equipped by Edison, were set up across the country, and operating manuals adopted the word. By 1889, central telephone exchange operators were known as "hello-girls" due to the association between the greeting and the telephone.

Members phkrause Posted September 26, 2020 Author Members Share Posted September 26, 2020 Jimmy Carter, the first president born in a hospital, is also the only U.S. President to graduate from United States Naval Academy. Carter attended Georgia Southwestern College and the Georgia Institute of Technology, and received a Bachelor of Science degree from the United States Naval Academy in 1946, graduating in the top ten percent of his class. In the Navy he became a submariner, serving in both the Atlantic and Pacific fleets, rising to the rank of lieutenant. After the death of his father in 1953, Carter left his naval career and returned home to Georgia to manage his family's peanut-growing business.

Members phkrause Posted September 29, 2020 Author Members Share Posted September 29, 2020 Gene Autry is the only person to be awarded stars in the five fields recognized on the Walk of Fame: film, TV, radio, live performance and music. During his lifetime, Autry emerged as both a top money-making entertainer and a powerful businessman. As his 1998 obituary said, "He was enormously successful at almost anything he tried—radio, records, songwriting, television, real estate and business, as well as movies and museums." The late Bob Hope and the late romantic crooner Tony Martin are next with four stars each. Thirty-three people, including Frank Sinatra, Danny Kaye and Jack Benny, have been awarded stars in three fields.
