Question: Who invented blue jeans?

Answer: Jacob Davis and Levi Strauss

Interesting Fact: Levi Strauss invent blue jeans?

For Profit: Levi Strauss ran a successful dry goods business in San Francisco.
One of his customers was a tailor named Jacob Davis who hit upon the idea of putting metal rivets at the points of strain, such as on the pocket corners and at the base of the button fly, to prevent his workman customers from ripping out their pockets. The riveted pants were a hit with his customers and so he worried that someone might steal the idea. But he didn't have the $68 necessary to file a patent. Levi Strauss saw the potential for this new product and agreed to partner with Davis. On May 20, 1873, the two men received patent no.139,121 from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. That day is now considered to be the official "birthday" of blue jeans.

Question: Where did Legos originate?

Answer: Denmark

Interesting Fact: Ole Kirk Christiansen, a carpenter from Billund, Denmark, began producing miniature versions of his products as design aids. These miniatures then inspired him to begin producing toys. It was in 1934 that the company name Lego was coined. A staff contest, offering a bottle of homemade wine as a prize, resulted in "Lego", a self-made contraction from the Danish phrase leg godt, meaning "play well." Later the Lego Group discovered that "Lego" can be loosely interpreted as "I put together" or "I assemble" in Latin. It was not until the 1947 that the Lego company first investigated selling interlocking plastic bricks.

Question: How many teeth do elephants have?

Answer: Four

Interesting Fact: Their tusks (or for Asian females, tushes) are the incisive. Behind are the molars, flat and "mill-like", one in each upper and lower jaw, making a total of four. Most mammals have a set of baby teeth that eventually fall out and are replaced by adult teeth, which they keep for their entire lives. Elephants are different, however. They go through six sets of large, brick-like teeth that grow in at the back of their mouths and slowly move to the front as they are worn down. The teeth then fall out and are replaced by fresh ones.
