The word "toast," meaning a proposal of health, originated in Rome, where an actual bit of spiced, burned bread was dropped into wine to improve the drink's flavor, absorb its sediment, and thus make it more healthful.
The popular beverage 7-Up was originally a version of a "lithiated" patent medicine, containing small amounts of lithium. An irony here is that it was introduced to the U.S. markets during the 1930s — the height of the Great Depression.
Queen Elizabeth II has a silver hood ornament of St. George (the patron saint of England) slaying the dragon placed on any car in which she is traveling.
The thumb is such a major player in the human body that it has a special section, separate from the area that controls the fingers, reserved for it in the brain.
The classic metal tokens that roam the streets of Atlantic City in the game Monopoly were not part of the original game. When Monopoly was first introduced, it didn't include any game pieces, only suggestions that players use household items like buttons and pennies.

A "criticaster" is an incompetent, inferior critic.
Without using precision instruments, Eratosthenes measured the radius of Earth in the third century B.C., and came within 1 percent of the value determined by today's technology.
A car's instrument panel is called a dashboard. The term dates back to horse-and-buggy days when dashing horses kicked up mud, splashing the passengers riding behind them. The dashboard was devised to protect them.
About 93 percent of households in Denmark consume wine, the highest consumption of all countries. French homes follow with about 85 percent.

Jayne Mansfield decorated her "Pink Palace" by writing to 1,500 furniture and building suppliers and asking for free samples. She told the donors they could then brag that their goods were in her outlandish mansion. The pitch worked, and Jayne received over $150,000 worth of free merchandise.
