That's Carnage Lake which runs along the East border of Princeton. The photo is of the dam at the North end at the bottom of Kingston. Good trout fishing there. Verne Well, I didn't read ahead. Sure looks like Carnage to me in Kingston. |

According to the New York Times, the iconic "Chinese takeout container" came from Chicago, and was invented by a man named Frederick Weeks Wilcox in 1894. It started life as a disposable oyster pail - after all, you'd want a leak-proof container for your seafood as much as your takeout. |

Coming to Nashville in 2019, the August Moon is the first indoor cinema experience to replicate the look and feel of a mid-1960s drive-in, complete with meal service, fireflies, 500 modified classic cars and a simulated starry sky. The drive-in is housed in a 40,000-square-foot dome and offers America’s largest non-Imax cinema screen. |

It took four years and $1.5 million (three times the original budget) to produce "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.," the first feature-length animated movie with both color and sound. Hollywood insiders didn't think the idea would work—they dismissed the project as "Disney's Folly"—but Walt ignored them.. "Snow White" became 1937's biggest film and the most successful sound movie to date. |

When Walt and his brother and business partner Roy pitched a Disney anthology TV series, CBS and NBC turned them down flat. But ABC went for the idea, and the series premiered on a Wednesday night in October 1954. It later moved to Sunday and aired for decades under various names, such as "Walt Disney Presents" and "Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color." Money brought in by the show in its first season helped to fund the opening of Disneyland in 1955. |

Cap'n Crunch is not, in fact, a captain. The three stripes on his uniform clearly reveal him to be a Navy commander, not a captain (a captain has 4 stripes). |
