Mark Twain PG Wodehouse William Shakespeare Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Sir Arthur Conan Doyle 21 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: SIR AUTHOR CONAN DOYLE Answer: “Elementary, my dear Watson“ is one of those phrases that everybody knows was uttered by Sherlock Holmes. Right? Nope! Holmes never said “Elementary, my dear Watson” in any of the original 56 short stories or 4 novels written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The closest he comes is in The Adventure of the Crooked Man when Holmes uses both the word “Elementary” and the phrase, “my dear Watson“, in somewhat close proximity. The two, however, are not said together. So where did the phrase come from? The first recorded use of the phrase was in the 1915 novel, Psmith, Journalist written by P.G. Wodehouse.

Answer: White Castle holds the title of being the first fast-food restaurant in the world. The restaurant was the start of what has become a multi-billion dollar fast food industry. Known for its small square burgers known as sliders, they were able to make 18 burgers for each pound of beef and sold them each for a nickel each. Although McDonald’s makes a lot of its “billions of burgers sold,” White Castle was the first fast-food chain to sell over a billion burgers. White Castle’s one billionth burger was sold in 1961—two years before McDonald’s cleared the same benchmark.

Clark Bar Oh Henry! Baby Ruth Heath Bar Baby Ruth 20 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: BABY RUTH Answer: Although the name of the candy bar sounds like the name of the legendary baseball player Babe Ruth, the Curtiss Candy Company claimed that it was actually named after President Grover Cleveland's daughter, Ruth Cleveland. The candy maker, named the bar "Baby Ruth" in 1921, as Babe Ruth's fame was on the rise, over 30 years after Cleveland had left the White House, and 17 years after his daughter, Ruth, had died. The company did not negotiate an endorsement deal with the famous baseball player, and many people saw the company's story about the origin of the name to be a devious way to avoid having to pay Babe Ruth any royalties.

King Lear Hamlet Romeo and Juliet A Midsummer Night's Dream Romeo and Juliet 20 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: ROMEO AND JULIET Answer: West Side Story is a musical inspired by William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet. In 1947, Jerome Robbins approached Leonard Bernstein and Arthur Laurents about collaborating on a contemporary musical adaptation of Romeo and Juliet. West Side Story, like Romeo & Juliet, is about forbidden love and romance across tribal barriers in a large city, amid constant feuding on both sides, which resulted in violence and death, and finally, reconciliation between the two families, which took the resulting deaths to happen.
