Cracked Egg Trivia

1. Chris Evans wasn't the only choice for the role of Captain America. Other famous people auditioned for the role including: Dane Cook, Joe Jonas, Kevin Jonas, John Krasinski, and Sebastian Stan who went on to play Bucky. And one of them may have gotten the part since Chris Evans turned down the role three times. He was worried about what would happen to his private life after such a sudden increase in popularity. He did decide to take the role after talks with Robert Downey Jr, Joe Johnston, and the producers of the film. 2. Stan Lee made a cameo appearance in the movie. He played an old general that mixes up Captain America with a different man, and then comments "I thought he'd be taller." His cameo was the only one he ever made in a feature film adaptation of a Marvel Comics superhero character that he had no hand in originally creating. 3. A future Avenger's mother was in the film, sort of. Around 50 minutes into the movie Laura Haddock appeared as...

Her father, Joshua Johnson, and her mother, Catherine Newth, were not officially married until 1785 according to documentation, which would make Louisa the only first lady to be born out of wedlock. It is possible that documents from their first wedding were lost, and that the wedding documented was actually a second one performed for some reason. The truth is that nobody really knows, and it is unlikely we will ever find out. In 1778 Joshua moved his family to France. Louisa loved France, and considered herself to be more French than English.

She also learned to read and write French in addition to speaking it fluently, in fact when her family returned to England in 1783 she had to learn to speak English again. Back in England she continued her schooling at a boa...

I did a post on bumblebees last month with the hope that I wouldn't be as afraid of them after I knew more about them, it worked. But I'd like to start out this post by saying that I don't think the same will be true for wasps, I'm pretty sure I'll hate them until I die. There are many different types of wasps, about 30,000 species exist that we have identified. This list includes hornets, yellow jackets, and many others. Since there are so many we divide them into slightly smaller groups, solitary wasps or social wasps. Solitary wasps are the larger subgroup, there are only about 1,000 species of social wasps. One of the differences between the two is that solitary wasps don't form colonies, and social wasps do. Another one is that solitary wasps rely on their venom to hunt, while social wasps only use their stingers for defense. Social wasp colonies start fresh each spring. A queen that was fertilized the year before comes out of hibernation, and builds a ...
