Good Reference...if you can find it!

I enjoy thumbing through this book or actually trying to find a "common knowledge fact" and the true story behind it. Some of the entries are quotes that have been misquoted for decades, while others are simply interesting facts (the black-eyed pea is not a pea, but a bean). The book is about 30 years old now, so some of the topics may be categorized with the more modern term, "urban legend". A very interesting book if you can find it.

I found a mistake right away.
The book credits JFK for saying: ask not what your country. . .etc.

Actually Gen. Bradley said it to the troops long before JFK ran for president.

And before Bradley said it - Kahlil Gibran wrote it in his book!

But it was fun to read.
