When the Beatles appeared on Sullivan for the first time, other acts on the show found it difficult to perform, the screaming from the teen girls was so loud and persistent. The Beatles themselves couldn’t hear the music they were playing. It was only through skillful placement of microphones that any of it came through on TV.
There have been 28 different versions of the US flag. The second version had 13 stars arranged in a circle in the canton (or “Union”) and 13 stripes, and the 28th and current version has 50 stars and 13 stripes.
The very first version had no stars and 13 stripes, and instead of stars in the canton it had the British Union Jack. This first flag is called the Grand Union Flag (picture).
The USS The Sullivans (DD-537) launched in 1943 was named in honor of the five Sullivan brothers (George, Francis, Joseph, Madison, and Albert) aged 20 to 27 of Waterloo Iowa who lost their lives when their ship, USS Juneau, was sunk by a Japanese submarine during the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal on 13 November 1942. When she first launched, the USS The Sullivans flew the US Flag with 48 stars in the Union.
Guadalcanal is named after a town in Spain and does not refer to a canal. The indigenous name for the island is “Isatabu.”

In medieval times, rabbit meat was highly valued and artificial rabbit warrens were built, consisting of low flat topped mounds, 10 to 20 yards long, 5 to 10 yards wide and up to a yard high. They were kept and guarded by warreners, and several medieval “warrener’s lodges” for warreners and their families to be on the spot for the rabbits are still extant in England.
The two most tender of rabbit meat breeds are the California white rabbit and New Zealand white rabbit. Eating rabbit is quite common in the Mediterranean, especially in Italy and France, who are responsible for the highest production and consumption of rabbit in Europe.
Medieval Times is a chain of dinner theaters, founded in Orlando, Florida in 1983. The chain now has ten theaters, nine in the U.S., and one in Toronto, Canada.
The entertainment at a Medieval Times show consists of a series of competitions between six knights on horseback, including jousting; by the end of the show, one of the knights is named as champion. Over the course of the show, guests are served dinner, which, in “medieval style,” is intended to be eaten without utensils.
Edit: the main dinner course at Medieval Times is chicken, although rabbit might be a more historically correct choice.

Henry Cabot Lodge was Republican nominee Richard M. Nixon’s running mate in the 1960 presidential election. President John F. Kennedy, in a bipartisan move intended to bolster Republican support for his policy in South Vietnam, subsequently appointed him U.S. ambassador in Saigon in 1963.
Henry Cabot Lodge inspired the name of one, possibly two, fictional characters. The first is Super Chicken, super hero alter ego of Henry Cabot Henhouse III. The second one, possibly, is Veronica Lodge from the Archie comics.
There is no mention of any Veronica in the Bible, but there is a passage that gave rise to the tradition that she wiped Jesus’ face with her veil. In Luke 23:27 it states, “A large number of people followed him, including women who mourned and wailed for him.” An early medieval story expanded on this and said that one of these women offered a cloth to wipe the face of Jesus which then resulted in a portrait on the cloth (a reproduction of which is now kept as a relic in Saint Peter’s basilica in Rome). Her name was given as Veronica (vera + ikon = “true image”), and she now has a place in the popular exercise of the Stations of the Cross.
But Veronica? No, no explicit mention.

The surface gravity of Mars is about 37% of the gravity on Earth.
The Mars family, of Mars candy bar fame, was once considered the richest family in the US.
