Weird facts of the Day 11.20.06

Weird Fact of the Day: Ketchup was sold in the 1830s as medicine. Each card in a deck represents a king from history: Spades- King David, Hearts- Charlemagne, Clubs-Alexander the Great, Diamonds- Julius Caesar Some farmers in Japan have learned to grow their watermelons into a square shape. They did this to conserve shelf space. It is not possible to tickle yourself. The cerebellum, a part of the brain, warns the rest of the brain that you are about to tickle yourself. Since your brain knows this, it ignores the resulting sensation. The fastest bird in the world is the Peregrine Falcon, which can reach speeds in excess of two hundred miles per hour. The Kraft company produces enough Cool Whip, a brand of whipping cream, in one year to fill the entire Grand Canyon. The state of Tennessee was known as Franklin before 1796. The football team Green Bay Packers comes from a meat packing company called Acme Packing. On average, it is estimated that females injure themselves ten time more than males do while playing sports. The Toronto Maple Leafs used to be called the Toronto Arenas, then the St. Patricks and finally the Maple Leafs.

Interesting weird facts, Larry.  I knew about the Packers but I wondered what illness ketchup was used for but I couldn't anything except that "Dr. Miles Compound Extract of Tomato" was the name of the medicine.
