Fun Facts

My smart and savvy friend sent me a few fun facts on my VIP (birthday, April 4) day:

• On this day in 1881, a centrifugal separator was patented by Edwin J. Houston and Elihu Thomson which enabled the cream to be separated from milk.
• Around this time, in the Netherlands, Casparus Van Wooden patented a chocolate powder which could be stirred into milk.
• And on this day in 1812, the Territory of Orleans became the State of Louisiana. (and the beignets were grand!)

So I'm (she's) thinking that you were born on the "Treats" day! Cream, chocolate milk, and Louisiana.

I do not know about Louisiana (my smart friend does), but I DO know about cream and chocolate.

I wonder who was born on the same day that sock yarn was improved greatly by the addition of a little nylon.
