Two Things I Learned Today

By junior on March 23, 2009, at 7:10 pm

Graham crackers, of all things, were originally envisioned as a sort of “health food” that would discourage young men from acting on “impure” carnal impulses and engaging in “self-abuse”. They are named after the kooky fellow who believed a diet of bland foods could achieve this goal. The guy who invented Corn Flakes had similar motives. I am not making this up. (I learned this from Loser Domi, in a conversation that had nothing to do with hockey, over at Pension Plan Puppets);
That “factory music” in Bugs Bunny cartoons is a song called “Powerhouse” by a fellow named Raymond Scott.

Now I know why I never liked Corn Flakes.
