TRIVIA:

* A "Blue Moon" is the second full moon in a calendar month
(it is rarely blue).

* A poem written to celebrate a wedding is called an
epithalamium.

* "Aromatherapy" is a term coined by French chemist Rene
Maurice Gattefosse in the 1920's to describe the practice
of using essential oils taken from plants, flowers, roots,
seeds, etc., in healing.

* Cannibalism, eating human flesh, is also called
anthropophagy.

* Clans of long ago that wanted to get rid of their unwanted
people without killing them used to burn their houses down -
hence the expression "to get fired."

* In 1945 a computer at Harvard malfunctioned and Grace
Hopper, who was working on the computer, investigated, found
a moth in one of the circuits and removed it. Ever since,
when something goes wrong with a computer, it is said to
have a bug in it.

* Of all the words in the English language, the word "set"
has the most definitions.

* "Second string," meaning "replacement or backup," comes
from the middle ages. An archer always carried a second
string in case the one on his bow broke.

* The term, "It's all fun and games until someone loses an
eye" is from Ancient Rome. The only rule during wrestling
matches was, "No eye gouging." Everything else was allowed,
but the only way to be disqualified is to poke someone's
eye out.
