The first McDonald's drive-thru was erected in a restaurant in Sierra Vista, Arizona, near the military post of Fort Huachuca. Military regulations prohibited soldiers from wearing their uniforms in public, and they weren't about to change into civilian clothes just to grab a burger and rush back to base, so restaurant manager David Rich devised a solution: cut a hole in the wall so that military personnel could pick up their orders without having to exit their vehicle. The idea soon gained popularity due to its ease and simplicity.
While it doesn't happen to everyone who starts crocheting, for most people who continue to do so, the hobby develops into a huge passion. There is a cause for the proliferation of "hooked on crochet" jokes and goods. In contrast to many other hobbies, this one is prone to a certain level of obsession, which is quite common. With any other activity I find enjoyable, I had never before encountered this obsession. Number one on this list, in my opinion, is the widespread crocheting compulsion.

When you find your dog eating on something he shouldn't, he averts his gaze and assumes a submissive stance. That indicates he recognizes his error and expresses regret, correct? Scientists believe it's unlikely. It's more likely that the behaviors that owners identify with a dog's remorse are a reaction to being reprimanded. They just do not consider their violation as thoroughly as you do.
Freshwater flounders are a species of fish that may survive for up to five years in an ideal tank environment. These fish are incredibly easy to care for and would complement any freshwater tank.
Halloween evolved from the Celtic festival of Samhain, which marked the end of the Celtic calendar year in Ireland, Scotland, and the Isle of Man. They believed it was a time when spirits or fairies could enter our world, and the Celts would set out treats and food to appease the spirits - sometimes, a place at the table was even set for the souls of the dead. Wiccans continue to celebrate Samhain as a New Year's Eve celebration today.
The average number of calories in a bag of Halloween candy is 11,000, per CNN's consumer research. I wonder how many points that would be on Weight Watchers.
In 2011, a hiring manager for a Chinese language training company included in a job listing that candidates who were Virgos or Scorpios need not apply. Obviously, there was a backlash to the discriminatory policy, but the hiring manager doubled down to a local newspaper, claiming that she was counting those signs out because they have a tendency to be "feisty and critical."

They can tell the difference between warm-blooded and cold-blooded creatures and exclusively hunt the latter. In fact, in the natural, they would aggressively shun humans. As a result, they have never and will never kill a human. The sea lamprey's natural nature is to cling to things, such as the glass wall of its tank, the pebbles on the sea (or lake) floor, and so on. As a result, if one is put up to a human, it will most likely latch on like a leech. Its suction is quite forceful and can be extremely painful, putting intense pressure on the area of contact. While the bite is eventually unpleasant, no one has to be concerned unless they intentionally introduce the sea lamprey.
The Starry Night, painted in June 1889, depicts the view from the east-facing window of Van Gogh's asylum room in Saint-Remy-de-Provence just before sunrise. It is widely considered to be one of the most recognizable paintings in Western art and Van Gogh's masterpiece. Van Gogh willingly admitted himself to an asylum in May 1889, following a breakdown that resulted in the self-mutilation of his left ear. He stayed at the asylum for a year and created some of his most famous and renowned works, including Irises and the blue self-portrait.
Here's a great advantage you can point out to make the "breast is best" zealots jealous: researchers at the Medical Research Council Epidemiology Unit in Cambridge discovered that formula-fed babies cried less, smiled and laughed more, and were easier to calm than breastfeeding babies. The ostensible reason? Breastfeeding is difficult for newborns, and some may not feel up to the endeavour and will fuss. Formula feeders have an easier difficulty filling their stomachs, so it's no surprise they're happier!
A few other fictitious-sounding details about pirates are correct. According to National Geographic, battling pirates would have lost limbs from time to time, and some of them would have replaced their missing appendages with a hook or a wooden peg. "Members of the crew... received compensation for the loss of body parts in action—an early form of worker's compensation," according to the Smithsonian Institute.
The R2-D2 that we all know and love only talks in beeps and whistles, a mechanical language that most of his companions comprehend. However, in the first draught of Star Wars, written in 1974, R2-D2 talked in whole words. Even more concerning, he was not the endearing wuss he would eventually become. He was a bit of a bully, berating his friend C-3PO with taunts such as, "You're a stupid, useless philosopher," and "You're nothing more than a dimwitted, emotion-filled academic." My reasoning systems cannot explain why you were formed." Sheesh, can you please tone it down a notch?

Bhutan's monarchy has always strictly limited outside influences in order to protect the nation's uniqueness from the crowning of the first king in 1907. Because of its small size and fragile situation, the country considers maintaining sovereignty essential. Bhutan first opened its doors to foreign tourists in 1974, the year it was recognized as a country by the United Nations.
Criminals have been sailing the seas for as long as there have been ships. Historians, for example, have discovered evidence of pirates in the Mediterranean as far back as 1353 B.C. During this period, the Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaten complained about pirates raiding his coastal cities and ports. According to the Royal Museums Greenwich, the tyrants also threatened ancient Greece's trading routes and looted grain and olive oil cargoes from Roman ships.

A lady may be barred from doing housekeeping if she has any colour from the bridal mendhi (henna) on her hands. Indian weddings are frequently colourful multi-day events that might run anywhere from three days to a week. The celebrations begin with the Ganesh puja, which is usually a private event with the couple and their close families to honour good fortune, followed by the mendhi ceremony the next day, during which henna patterns are painted on the bride and her female friends and family. The sangeet—a musical night to greet all the wedding guests—is usually held that evening, with the main ceremony and celebration taking place on the third day.

People with chronic depression often develop symptoms of anxiety as a result of the mental exhaustion of depression. The same is true for sufferers of chronic anxiety. For example, people who struggle with Social Anxiety Disorder often develop depressive symptoms as a result of lifestyle choices made to accommodate the symptoms of Social Anxiety Disorder, such as avoiding others and public places.
Except for North Korea and Cuba, Coca-Cola can be found in every country on the planet! However, in those two other nations, it is apparently a "grey import" in North Korea and Cuba. This simply implies that Coca-Cola is imported from another nation without The Coca-Cola Company's express consent.
