THE  ROAD NOT   TAKEN

Answer: “The Road Not Taken" is a poem by Robert Frost, published in 1916. Frost claimed that poem was based on his friend Edward Thomas. Thomas and Frost became close friends and took many walks together. In Frost’s words, Thomas was “a person who, whichever road he went, would be sorry he didn’t go the other. The poem was intended by Frost as a gentle mocking of indecision. Frost commented that “The Road Not Taken” is “a tricky poem, very tricky” implying that people generally misinterpret this poem as evidence of the benefit of free thinking and not following the crowd, while Frost’s intention was to comment about indecision and people finding meaning in inconsequential decisions.

I LOVE  LUCY

Answer: I Love Lucy starred Lucille Ball along with her then real-life husband Desi Arnaz. Ball met Arnaz, five years her junior, while filming the RKO Studios movie Too Many Girls. In November 1940, six months after they'd first met, the couple married. Their union would go on to produce two children, as well as countless hours of groundbreaking television. In 1953, when Lucy became pregnant with the couple's second child, Desi Jr., the show became the first in history to depict a pregnant woman. Though marriage for the couple would last only two decades, a love and mutual respect remained between the stars until death.

ARMEDILLO

Answer: Remarkably, there’s one animal out there that always has identical babies: the armadillo. The nine-banded armadillo is the only vertebrate that gives birth to identical quadruplets every time! A female produces a single egg that, once fertilized, splits into four genetically identical embryos that share one placenta. This process, through which multiple embryos develop from a single fertilized egg, is called polyembryony. How and why this unique pattern evolved and continues is a mystery. The word armadillo means "little armored one" in Spanish.

SODIUM

Answer: Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a flavor enhancer commonly added to Chinese food, canned vegetables, soups, and processed meats. The Food and Drug Administration has classified MSG as a food ingredient that's "generally recognized as safe," but its use remains controversial. It was first identified by Japanese researchers in 1908 and has since become one of the most widely used additives in food production. Many people find that consuming MSG can trigger side effects including headaches, nausea, belly pain, and more.

MIA  FARROW

Answer: The inaugural issue of People Magazine hit newsstands on March 4, 1974, and featured a portrait of actress Mia Farro clutching a string of pearls with her teeth. At the time, Farrow was one of Hollywood’s top leading ladies, starring in films such as Rosemary's Baby (1968), The Great Gatsby (1974) and Hannah and Her Sisters (1986). That issue also featured stories on Gloria Vanderbilt, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, and the wives of U.S. Vietnam veterans who were Missing In Action. The magazine was, apart from its cover, printed in black-and-white. The initial cover price was just 35 cents.
