Interesting Fact: Over 12.5 million people in the world skateboard. Skateboards started as “sidewalk surfboards” in the 1950’s but the signature skateboard trick, the “ollie” that started it all, wasn’t done until the 1970’s. Skateboards got so popular that the military tested them in the 1990’s to see if they were useful during combat operations. ( http://www.handipoints.com/fun-facts/xtreme-sports )

What if pictures could come alive…
Interesting Fact: One of the earliest frames was a discovery made in an Egyptian tomb dating back to 2nd century A.D. in which a fayum mummy portrait was discovered at Hawara still within its wooden frame. This finding suggests the mummy portraits may have been hung in the owners’ homes prior to inclusion within the funerary equipment.[8] The portrait and its frame were most likely preserved by the desert climate, according to frame historian and installation expert Marilyn Murdoch explained in a historical talk to museum docents.

This game never gets old. 🙂
Interesting Fact: Playing cards were also used for much more than playing games. For a long time, only the faces of cards were printed, leaving the backs blank.
