The fact that Claudine Longet was once married to Andy Williams was a big factor in her receiving a light sentence.

Who invented popcorn?

 

What does "Get all your ducks in a row" mean?

 

True or false: Kiwi fruit is a good source of vitamin c?

 

What American President commanded PT-109 during WW11?

 

True or false: Snooki, cast member on Jersey Shore is 4'9".

 

 

[[ar...]]

It is unclear who "invented" popcorn. Some popcorn was found in a bat cave off New Mexico which is estimated to be at least 4,000 years old. Cortes in 1514 saw popcorn in Mexico when he conquered the Aztecs. Popcorn may have been be found anywhere that maize was grown.

 

"Get all your ducks in a row" is an idiom which means to organise yourself and your life.

 

Kiwi fruit or Actinidia fruit is very high in vitamin C,  which is a higher content than that which is found in oranges, but some vitamin C is lost in storage.

 

President John F Kennedy commanded the PT-109 during WW2, off Gizo, now a popular  dive site in the Solomons Islands, a part of Melanesia. 

 

Yes," Snooki" or Nicole Polizzi of Chilean extraction is 4ft 9.
