Okay, so the new old London Bridge is in Arizona. Now I shall elaborate. When the original London Bridge got old and well, pretty much unusable, they knocked it down and built a new one. After about 130 years, the bridge started sinking down into the water, and they didn’t have enough money to fix it or build a new one. One day, chainsaw tycoon Robert McCulloch offered to buy the bridge (thinking he was getting Tower Bridge) and got it. He disassembled it and brought it back to the town that he had built for his factory workers and put on land, which he dug a channel under to make an artificial lake. It is now the third largest tourist attraction in Arizona.

Eschulus (sp?) was a Grecian playwright who was killed because a hawk believed his bald head to be a rock, and dropped a turtle on him in order to crack it open.
Tico Brahey (once again, spelling is probably off) died at a feast for a king. No one was permitted to leave the dining hall until the king finished, and Brahey had to use the restroom. He was unable to leave and died due to an exploding bladder.
Eugene V Debbs is the only man to run for president from prison.
In Norse mythology, Baldur was the most beautiful of the gods. His mother wanted to protect his beauty, so she made all objects promise not to harm him. Rocks, trees, everything. Except mistletoe, because it is small and insignificant. This led to a game that today could be called “throw stuff at Baldur and watch it not hit him”. Loki was jealous of this and tricked the blind god Hod into shooting an arrow made of mistletoe at Baldur, killing him.
These facts brought to you by my English professor/Scholars’ Bowl Coach.
During prohibition in America, much of the illicit liquor coming into the northern US was smuggled the short distance between Canada and Detroit by boat because there was no bridge at the time. During winter, the water would freeze and people could simply walk it across, but in order to be sneaky they would stuff the bottles in their boots and pants.
If you ever visit Palisade State park in Utah and stay in one of the original cabins you may want to know that they were named after head persons in the park. The Tripp palace Bird House and Taylor Made Cabin were named after Sean Tripp (Park Manager) _________ Taylor (Head Ranger) and ________ Bird(Assistant Manager.) I’m afraid on the blanks I can’t find there first names, but I believe the last names are all correct. Makes for some interesting history.
