Miscellaneous Curiosities From Byron To Banks
A column surveys odd facts from Lord Byron’s diet to banking trends. It notes a poet’s weight loss regimen of potatoes and wine, a 25 to 1 male predominance in Who’s Who, and 21 year old Margaret O’Brien as the youngest celebrity. It mentions American eating habits, a bar remark about marriage wealth, a possum’s size at birth, goose flight speeds, and Siamese twins producing a notable list of descendants. The piece also covers ancient Pompeian beauty, maternal safety, Sammy Kaye’s TV view, honor crimes in Egypt, a 350 mile wall in Morocco, camel prices, Moslem population share, gargalesthesia, Confucius, Swedish bread gifts, giraffe sitting patterns, pastel bank boxes, and 142 women bank presidents.
