Wise World of Wellen presented by Salem Eye Clinic
1. The word “gymnasium” comes from the Greek word “gymnazein,” which literally translates to “exercise naked.”
2. “Rich Girl” by Hall & Oates wasn’t actually about a girl . . . it was about a guy named Victor Walker who came from a rich family in Chicago. But Daryl Hall thought the title “Rich Girl” sounded better than “Rich Guy”.
3. The cheeseburger was invented in 1926 at a restaurant called the Rite Spot in Pasadena, California. The owner’s 16-year-old son randomly threw cheese onto a patty on the grill. Then they added it to their menu, and called it a “cheese hamburger.”
4. Louis CK, Matt LeBlanc, and Joe Rogan were all in the same high school graduating class: the class of 1985 at Newton North High School in Newton, Massachusetts.
5. Employees at Ben & Jerry’s get three free pints of ice cream EVERY DAY. They also get a free gym membership.
