Today's Random Fact:
J. M. Barrie did not invent the name Wendy for his 1904 play 'Peter Pan, the Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up'. He did popularize it, though. The name Wendy was indeed used in both the U.S. and Great Britain throughout the 1800s. In the 1880 U.S. Census and the 1881 British Census, you'll have no trouble finding twenty females with the first name Wendy in the United States, the earliest being Wendy Gram of Ohio (born in 1828). If you include such spelling variations as Windy, Wendi, Wenda, and Wandy the number triples.
Bonus Fact:
Many people will attest that microwaving food kills off its nutrients. "Actually, microwaving retains more nutrients than other forms of cooking, if you don't use a lot of water and donâ??t overcook the food," says food scientist Barry Swanson.
