Did you know the origin of lipstick was ancient Rome. The "ladies" of the evening used henna to highlight their lips to advertise that they would perform a particular service for their customers.

Did you know the origin of wake came from the fact that utensils and plates used by people in the 1600-1900's contained a heavy amount of lead and it causes paralysis that only looked like death. It would last for a couple of days and then some would awaken. That is the reason they would not bury them for a three to four days b/c they were waiting for them to "wake".

Did you also know that if DH drops the iron into the the washer that the washer tub will have a huge chunk chipped off, just like the bathtub?

By the way, don't keep your iron on a shelf over your washer. And beware of falling sunscreen.
