Have You Ever Heard the Phrase, "To Sit Above (or below) the Salt
"He who sits 'above' is among the elect, honored, or socially acceptable; he who sits 'below' is just an also ran,,an ordinary person, perhaps even inferior in social standing. The allusion is to the dining customs in the houses of the nobility and gentry in medieval days. The saltcellar (properly 'saler') a large container - was placed above the center of the table and all guests of distinction were ranged in order of merit at the upper ,Masters's end of the table 'above' the salt, or salt cellar. The dependents, tenants, or persons of low degree sat 'below' the salt, or at the lower end of the table."
Ten Sleep, Wyoming
"There are many different stories about how this small town got its name. Ten Sleep was located between two well-known Indian camps during the mid-1800s. Indians measured distance by the number of nights, or "sleeps," it took to travel a certain distance. Thus, some say the town was named because it took ten sleeps to get from either of those camps to Ten Sleep. Others think the town was named because a tribe waited at this location for 'ten sleeps' while waiting for others to join them. Still others say they stayed there because they were snowed in or because there was a battle with another tribe that lasted 'ten sleeps."
Know Your Presidents....William H. Harrison
"William Harrison was called the Hero of Tippecanoe because he was the leader at the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811. The Farmer President was attached to him as a result of his farming background and his interest in protecting the rights of farmers."
""Through the pitch-black knight, the captain sees a light dead ahead on a collision course with his ship. He sends a signal: 'Change your course 10 degrees east.' The light signals back: 'Change yours, 10 degrees west.
Angry, the captain sends: 'I'm a navy captain! Change your course, sir!' 'I'm a a seaman, second class,' comes the reply. 'Change your course, sir.'
Now the captain is furious. 'I'm a battleship! I'm not changing course!'
There's one last reply. 'I'm a lighthouse. Your call.!'"

Here's Some more 'Myth Information"
"Since I have never jumped out of a perfectly good airplane with or without a parachute, you might be interested in some myths regarding the parachute.
"Since the parachute is commonly associated with people jumping out of airplanes, it is natural to assume that the parachute was invented after the airplane. However, the history of the parachute considerably predates that of the airplane.
The first actual parachute descent took place more than one hundred years before the invention of the airplane. In 1783, a Frenchman, Louis Lenormand, created the parachute to save people who had to jump from burning buildings. By 1797, another Frenchman, Jacques Garnerin, gave the first public exhibition of parachuting by jumping from a hot air balloon from three thousand feet and safely descending to the ground.
The first regular use of parachutes was over one hundred years later in World War I observation balloons. But surprisingly, the parachute was never applied for use in airplanes during this war. The first actual bail-out from an airplane did not occur until 1922, almost twenty years after the invention of the airplane. By the next year, they were required in the U.S. Army Air Corps and considered indispensable."
