2. Louis Pasteur (the discoverer of penicillin) wrote in his laboratory notes, "This damned mold keeps destroying my cultures."
3. In 1952 Mr. Potato Head began as a set of eyes, ears and a few noses and mouths. The original Mr. Potato Head did not come with a "potato body" so parents supplied their own potatoes.
4. It takes 32 glasses of water to flush the acid from 1 can of soda pop out of your system.

Interesting facts there Lisa! I had a Mr. Potato head and I think I do remember using a potato back in my youth.

Matt-man, why of course! ;-)
