Chicken or beef--beans or salsa- it all began one day in 1943 in Eagles Pass Texas when the wives of U.S. soldiers stationed at Ft. Duncan dropped in on a local hotspot called the Victory Club. Unfortunately the restaurant had closed for the day. Still, a manager named Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya decided to throw a dish together based on whatever ingredients he still had left. It became a local hit...then in 1978 it became a national hit when famed sportscaster Howard Cosell, introduced the snack during a game between the then-Baltimore Colts and Dallas Cowboys broadcast on national TV and now they can be found at restaurants across the country or you can make your own!

Just known as 'football' in the US and Canada..it's been around since the late 1800s. The first official football game in the US was played between Rutgers and Princeton. Football was inspired by rugby, the original ball was round and the rules stated that it could not be picked up or carried and there were 25 players on the team at the time. The game has evolved with an elongated ball and 11 players on the field per team. College football took off well before the pro version...but the 1958 NFL Championship Game, known as "The Greatest Game Ever Played," changed everything. Today there are 32 NFL teams split evenly between the NFC and the AFC.

At Kenner Products, a salesman named Norman Shapiro returned from a sales trip with the inspired idea of making a toy oven using incandescent bulbs that would bake cookies. During his sales trip, he saw street vendors keep pretzels warm using a contraption that employed light bulbs. In 1963, the iconic Easy-Bake Oven quickly became the hottest selling product. Ever since, it has continued to receive the love of children.

Clichés are elements of a play, book, or movie — or sayings, or ideas that have been used so often that they've completely lost their original impact...They can be very irritating — but they're also funny and enjoyable, and used well, clichés can facilitate conversation and be great ice breakers. Printers borrowed the word 'cliché 'in 1825 from the French to refer to the cast plate or block print used to replicate type or images. By the 1880's the word 'cliché' comes to be used for ready-made phrases that are repeated often. Like: better late than never, low hanging fruit, it is what it is, last but not least.

It's celebrated on the anniversary of the famous Harry Houdini's death. Nothing beats an in person, real-life magic show...and you might take notice of their clothes...many magicians avoid wearing green while performing because of an old superstition from French theater traditions. In the 17th century, green costumes were believed to bring bad luck, as green dye contained arsenic, leading to illness. There are several great magic themed movies like: Harry Potter, Now You See Me, The Illusionist, and Sleight. Or you can buy a book on magic and teach yourself some tricks.
