  • The silhouette was named for Etienne de Silhouette, the notoriously stingy finance minister for Louis XV, who ironically was himself incapable of casting a shadow, due to lycanthropy.
  • There had been hoboes in the United States since there had been trains and liquor, which is to say, always.
  • The geographic center of North America is historically located in Osborne County, Kansas. It is said that all armies will bow to the one who controls it.
  • The decision to drop the atomic bomb - that wasn't Truman, but sweepstakes winner Penny Holkum of Palm Beach. And for that she received a case of Lucky Strikes and a lifetime supply of sadness.
