Nepal Airlines sacrificed two goats to the Hindu god of the sky for the protection of their aging Boeing 747 planes in 2007. The ceremony took place on the tarmac in front of one of the aircraft. Scapegoats are always handy!

It wasn't JFK's campaign slogan; it was a 1929 slogan used by the Republican National Committee to promote the election of Herbert Hoover for President. The actual ad read, "...put the proverbial 'chicken in every pot.' And a car in every backyard, to boot." He won the election!

This is a Hollywood myth. Jack Palance correctly announced Marisa's name as Best Supporting Actress for her role in the 1992 film My Cousin Vinny. The allegation has been officially denied by the Academy, but myths don't die; they blend with the truth!

Doveryai, no porveryai means Trust, but verify! This Russian proverb was made famous by President Ronald Reagan, who made it one of his favorite expressions. When asked by Mikhail Gorbachev why he used the phrase so much, his response was, "I like it!"

Not only is this crap, but it also seems that the Bee Gees were entirely apolitical. They did support a number of worthy charities and causes, but they managed to successfully avoid the "Jive Talkin'" politicians.

No, but it was her deafness that persuaded Bell to study acoustics. And Bell's research and experiments relating to hearing and speech led to his invention and the first U.S. patent of the telephone in 1876. It pays to listen to your mother!

It's a Fact.
During the tense days of the Cuban Missle Crisis, a soldier shot at a wild bear climbing a military base security fence. The shot automatically set off an entire system of sabotage alarms. The activated alarms caused a chain of events that led to nuclear armed F-106A Interceptors taking off. The mistake was discovered just in time, and the planes returned to base averting World War III. Thankfully it was only a bear and not Russian saboteurs.
