Basketball is the only major sport entirely of American
origin.
Babies' eyes do not produce tears until the baby is
approximately six to eight weeks old.
If you're over 100 years old, there's an 80% chance you're
a woman.
Smell A Rat
Meaning: To sense that something is wrong
In earlier times, it was fairly common for peole to have
rats infesting their houses. And if a rat died in a place
where it wasn't visible, the person who lived in the house
smelled the decaying rodent. That's how he could tell some-
thing was amiss.
What a Ham
Meaning: Someone who enjoys putting on a show, or who
plays rather obviously to an audience.
An American phrase originating in the 1880's. Minstrel
shows, mass entertainment of the time, often featured less
-than-talented performers who overacted. They frequently
appeared in "blackface," and used ham fat to remove their
makeup. Thus they were referred to as "ham fat men," later
shortened to "ham."
Whipping Boy
Meaning: A scapegoat, or someone who is habitually picked on.
Hundreds of years ago, it was normal practice for a Euro-
pean prince to be raised with a commoner of the same age.
Since princes couldn't be disciplined like ordinary kids,
the commoner would be beaten whenever the prince did some-
thing wrong. The commonwer was called the Prince's whipp-
ing boy.
