Aprašymas
Read Trevor Homer's posts on the Penguin Blog.
Everything--from the mundane (the pencil) to the catastrophic (the atom bomb)--has an origin, but often it's not what we expect. A few things you may not have known:
- Gandhi was married at age thirteen!
- Chinese fortune cookies are an American invention and were not eaten in China until the 1990s when they were advertised as "Genuine American Fortune Cookies."
- Bayer lost the trademark for aspirin (which they had held since 1897) as part of the reparations Germany was forced to pay after World War I.
- The original idea for the electric chair came from an American dentist.
For aspiring mindblowers and wanna-be know-it-alls, "The Book of Origins" is a treasure trove of trivia and fascinating facts guaranteed to entertain and enlighten.
