Muhammad Ali Michael Jordan Tiger Woods O. J. Simpson I gotta believe Michael Jordan 14 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: MICHAEL JORDON Answer: In 1921, a health clinician spilled wheat gruel on a hot stove and watched it transform into delicious wheat flakes. “Washburn’s Gold Medal Whole Wheat Flakes” soon became known as “Wheaties”. In 1934, the breakfast cereal began the practice of including pictures of athletes on its packaging to coincide with its slogan, "The Breakfast of Champions." Basketball superstar Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls has been on the Wheaties box a record 18 separate times, with golfer Tiger Woods in hot pursuit with 14 appearances. ps:I picked MJ, but I really thought Ali! Never really thinking about Woods and was second!! Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2

National Ice Cream Day was a way for President Ronald Reagan to honor the role that the sweet treat had in the country. Between 9 and 10 percent of all U.S. dairy milk (as opposed to non-dairy milk like coconut) goes to ice cream production, and ice cream's role in classic U.S. menus (think apple pie and vanilla ice cream) is one that can't be replaced. Originally, the day was supposed to occur only once, in 1984, but of course, the dairy and ice cream industries decided that having it as an annual day would be a lot better. 19 hours ago, phkrause said: What Were the Earliest Versions of Ice Cream Like? It's unknown who truly holds the title for producing the earliest version of ice cream, but what is certain is that the early versions looked (and probably tasted) nothing like the chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream you just ate. Several cultures, from Asia to Europe, had icy drinks and treats that were consumed in hot weather. The Romans may have had a combination of ice and honey; sweetened wine was common, too. The Chinese had a version made with milk and flour that were first heated and then frozen; camphor was added for flavoring and fragrance. Ice cream didn't start to resemble anything we eat today until about the 1600s in Europe, when varieties of sherbet or sorbet were introduced. Cream started to enter the picture again, and there were reports of a strawberries-and-cream frozen dessert served in North American colonial times. 19 hours ago, phkrause said: Why Did Astronaut Ice Cream Never Actually Make It Into Space? Astronaut ice cream is freeze-dried and packed securely, making it shelf-stable and able to retain flavor without needing a freezer. But it never actually made it into space, and for a very good reason: That stuff is crumbly and messy. There was no way astronauts could safely eat something that would send zillions of bits of food floating up around the zero-gravity cabin; the bits would have ended up in the equipment, in suits, and possibly floating out and littering space. 19 hours ago, phkrause said: Why Was Ice Cream Once Banned in Italy? It was actually twice banned, but we'll get to that second one in a minute. The main ban happened in 1940 when dictator Benito Mussolini declared ice cream to be too American—remember, Italy was on Germany's side during World War II, so anything American was a bad thing—and prevented its sale. As for that second time, that happened in 2013 in Milan, when the town's government banned eating ice cream on certain streets after midnight. This was an attempt to lower noise levels; if people couldn't loiter about, eating ice cream on a hot Mediterranean night, they'd go elsewhere, right? But residents and tourists weren't having any of it, and the ban was rescinded after a week of protests called "Occupy Gelato."

United States Denmark Germany Switzerland Denmark UNITED STATES dgrimm60 Answer: Happy National Ice Cream Day folks! Haagen-Dazs sounds exotic, but the ice cream brand was actually created in the Bronx, New York. Reuben and Rose Mattus invented the "Danish-sounding" "Haagen-Dazs" as a tribute to Denmark's exemplary treatment of its Jews during the Second World War. The name, however, is not Danish, nor did it have any meaning in any language before its creation. Their daughter claims that her father sat at the kitchen table for hours saying nonsensical words until he came up with a combination he liked.

Google Amazon Netflix Facebook Amazon On 7/16/2018 at 3:19 PM, dgrimm60 said: AMAZON Answer: Amazon was originally named "Cadabra." It was intended as a reference to the word "abracadabra" (as in, magic). Bezos later changed the name to Amazon.com, Inc. after a lawyer misheard its original name as "cadaver". He selected the name Amazon by looking through the dictionary. When he landed on the word "Amazon," the name of the largest river on the planet, he decided that was the perfect name for what would become the world’s largest bookstore. On this day in 1995, Amazon officially opened for business as an online bookseller.

Robert Oppenheimer is often referred to as the "Father of the Atomic Bomb". After the 1939 invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany, Oppenheimer was selected to administer a laboratory to carry out the Manhattan Project, the program that developed the first nuclear weapon during World War II. On this day in 1945, the Manhattan Project came to an explosive end as the first atom bomb was successfully tested in Alamogordo, New Mexico. The “Father of the Atomic Bomb” died from cancer at the age of 62 in 1967. Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.

Jesus Christ King James I Julius Caesar Pope Gregory XIII Julius Caesar 23 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: JULIUS CAESAR Answer: July was named in honor of Julius Caesar who was born in that month. The month of July was previously called Quintilis in Latin since it was the fifth month in the ancient Roman calendar. The name of the month was changed to July in honor of Julius Caesar during the Julian calendar reform. Unfortunately, Caesar himself was only able to enjoy one July during his life—the very first July, in 45 B.C. The following year he was murdered on the Ides of March. Julius Caesar is also responsible for the year as we know it having 365 days, and for the existence of a leap year every four years.

It took one year and one day to build the original Disneyland, and during construction Walt Disney wanted a hidden little place where he could watch his vision be turned into reality. The solution? The construction crew made him a secret little apartment on the 2nd story of the Main Street Firehouse. The 500 sq. ft. apartment was equipped with a small kitchen, bathroom, and wooden desk. It had everything Walt Disney needed to create, observe, and spend time with his family in peace from within the park.
