Why did the pineapple stop in the middle of the road?
Because he ran out of juice
Interesting Fact: The word ‘pineapple’ was recorded in 1398 to describe ‘pine cones’. It was not until 1694 that pine cones were first called pine cones. On arrival to the Americas, European explorers called the tropical fruit pineapples around 1664 because they resembled the pine cone.

Nobody ever reads the rules for Monopoly except when an argument breaks out. 🙂
Interesting Fact: Charles Darrow was from Philadelphia, and he first developed the Monopoly game in 1933. The first pieces were made from materials from Darrow’s home. A piece of oilcloth covered the board, the cards were handwritten, and the houses and hotels were made from wooden scraps. The shiny pieces were inspired by Darrow’s nieces. The first Monopoly die-cast tokens were metal charms from the girls’ charm bracelets. ( http://abcnews.go.com/Lifestyle/25-facts-monopoly-80-years/story?id=28405806 )

These are the lenses the doctor prescribed to me. Now, let me show you the world! 🙂
Interesting Fact: The invention of the camera in the early 19th century has led to a large array of lens designs intended for photography. The problems of photographic lens design, creating a lens for a task that would cover a large flat image plane, were well known even before the invention of photography[1] due to the development of lenses to work with the focal plane of the camera obscura, a device for projecting images used as a novelty and an artist’s drawing aid that had been around for hundreds of years. Since the invention of photography many types of lenses have been tried. The succession of designs was never uniform since an older design that performed a task the photographer needed (such as working better portrait versus landscape, working at the wavelength of light the film collected, etc.) would still be used in unison with newer designs. Even today the job the lens needs to do, the laws of physics, the limits of engineering, as well as the practical considerations of size, weight and cost, means there are many designs available.
