The Book of Enoch Chapter 31, Tamarind Trees

Enoch sees more trees including the tree of knowledge that Adam and Eve ate from just before being cast out of the garden of Eden.

"The tree of knowledge also was there, of which if any one eats, he becomes endowed with great wisdom. It was like a species of the tamarind tree, bearing fruit which resembled grapes extremely fine."

Here is a photo of a Tamarind tree:

And here is a photo of the fruit of the tree.

The History of Burssels Sprouts

Brussels sprouts look and taste like tiny cabbages.

The exact origins of Brussels sprouts are unknown, but history places the vegetable in Brussels, Belgium, sometime in the sixteenth century. Thomas Jefferson is credited with introducing Brussels sprouts to the United States. He brought the plant to Virginia from Paris in 1821.

Around the world in 72 days for real!

Nellie Bly went around the world in 72 days and set a record.  Someone raced her and she won in 1890.   She only took a bag the size of a bread bag!  When she got to Yemen, she had to brush her teeth with a stick.
