F209BA3A-FA6B-4C12-A8F9-C6EC9DCB428C.pngLong story short: each and every one of us has dreamt of reaching the final question of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. Although, I’ll never probably make the show, let alone reach the million dollar question, I would hate myself, if it’d happen and I wouldn’t be prepared.

Thats why I try to pick up a single piece of knowledge each and every day of my life. If not else I’ll know a damn lot of things, while in the rocking chair.

Tuesday: The name of the famous Lego-building blocks derives from the Danish words ”Leg godt” which translates to ”play well”.

Monday: The famous ”Miracle on Ice” in the ice hockey of Lake Placid Olympics 1980 wasn’t decided in the game between USSR and USA. In addition USA had to win Finland in their last game, which they did, and hence secured the historical Olympic gold medal.

Sunday: The famous ”Spirit of Ecstasy”, the bonnet decoration of Rolls Royce cars is sculptured after Lord Montagus scretary and lover, Eleanor. Lord Montagu, an early customer of Rolls Royce, wanted to add the sculpure on his custom made Rolls Royces bonnet.

Saturday: One of the theories behind the origina of April Fools ’ Day is that it was originally a pagon holy day for a new year and that christians mocked this custom (They celebrated new year on 25th of March and later on January 1st).

Friday: Toto’s Africa follows mermoires of missionaires in Africa, who often lived alone and tried to promote christianity by blessing even the smallest things happening. (I bless the rains down in Africa)
