i'll say fact to the first one, because a chicken has a comb and you need a comb to comb a chicken. huh? i'll say fact to the second one, too, because maybe it was cold where the author lived and maybe he hadn't heard of glass back then. it probably wasn't dicovered yet.

First, Happy Memorial Day, you FoCers!
Blessings and gratitude to all those who serve and sacrifice for our country; past, present, and future. No matter how you feel about why they are sent to do what they do, they are there on behalf of all of us. Secondly, my apologies for being so far behind. The source of these trivial tidbits is a never-ending reminder of just how far behind I am! So, since you've probably long forgotten what we are currently pondering, here are the questions at hand:
- There are two kinds of chicken combs.
- In the original French version of "Cinderella," the heroine is given fur slippers from her fairy godmother, not glass.
Here's how you weighed in on these matters:1 | Fact | 6 | | Crap | 4 | 2 | Fact | 5 | | Crap | 5 | Hmmm. . . somewhat divided on these matters, eh? Well, here is the "real deal" according to the Calendar Chicken-littles:
- It's CRAP! "There are seven: single, rose, strawberry, V-shaped, pea, cushion, and buttercup. Chickens don't sweat; they cool themselves through their combs and wattles. An erect comb acts like a chicken radiator." Here's a grand single-comb version:
- It's CRAP! Many believed that when Charles Perrault's 1697 book of folk tales, Histoires ou contes du temps passe avec des moralites was translated into English, vair (French for 'fur') was misread as verre ('glass'). But the original text reads pantoufle de verre ('glass slipper') and since vair was an Old French word no longer in use (Fourrure is the more modern usage), an oral misinterpretation is unlikely as well. Originally, in the Chinese tale, the heroine wore a slipper of gold. By the way, Perrault's Histoires are sometimes translated as Tales of My Mother Goose, after a line that appears on the frontispiece of the original book.
Okay, in honor of Memorial Day and of Babe Ruth's homerun record being broken by Barry Bonds, here are three new ones for you. I pledge not to take so long to post the answers this time!
- An early version of the American flag featured an eagle.
- In 1845, baseball games were over after one team scored 21 runs.
- Vic Wertz, who hit the eighth-inning blast on which Willie Mays made his miraculous over-the-shoulder catch, went on to hit the winning home run later in the game.
FACT or CRAP? You decide!}
