Doctor OMEB's Daily Dose of Useless Information, Cincinnati Edition

Today, Doctor OMEB's #DailyDose of #UselessInformation, #Cincinnati Edition, comes at the recommendation of Julie Scott and is courtesy of Cincinnati CityBeat. Several of you mentioned you like this, so I'll keep it going.

1) The infamous #CharlesManson was born in Cincinnati and lived here, off and on, for the first couple decades of his life until getting in trouble with the law. Fun fact about Charlie, if you can believe he has one, #gunsnroses covered one of his songs. It's a hidden track on their album, "The Spaghetti Incident".

2) Before finding fortune and glory, #Eminem, competed in a rap battle at one of the first Cincinnati Hip Hop festivals. He lost...

3) The inventor of the #Pringles can, a chemist from Cincinnati named Fred Braun, upon his death was cremated and buried in an 'original' Pringles can. You can pay your respects at Arlington Memorial Gardens in Mt. Healthy.

4) "The Least Metal Moment of All Time" happened in Cincinnati in the early 2000's when #vinceneil of #motleycrue led the #chickendance at #oktoberfest Zinzinnati.

5) The original theme song to the movie Armageddon was slated to be “Standing on the Edge of the Earth” by Cincinnati rock legends Blessid Union of Souls. However, it was changed to #Aerosmith track "I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing". Funny that Steven Tyler's daughter, Liv, was one of the stars in that movie. Not saying that had anything to do with it... but. Maybe my friends in The ReUnion Of Souls can shed more light on this story?

Doctor OMEB's Daily Dose of Useless Information, Thanksgiving Edition.

Brought to you in part by #Thanksgiving.

Fun Fact 1: there is no historical record that #turkey was eaten at the first Thanksgiving. 5 deer were served, shellfish/seafood and "fowl". Some historians think the "fowl" were most likely geese, duck or swan.

Fun Fact 2: "Jingle Bells", originally called "One Horse Open Sleigh", was never intended to be a Christmas song. It is purported to have been first performed for a Thanksgiving church service. Though it's true origins are still a mystery and a highly contested piece of history.

Doctor OMEB's Daily Dose of Useless Information, Great Wall of China

Fun Fact: The mortar holding together the Great Wall of China is made of a combination of lime and sticky rice. The complex carbohydrates in the rice greatly improve the strength of the mortar, makes it water resistant and rivals modern concrete!
