Color Television - The inventor of the color television was a Mexican. Guillermo González Camarena was the first person to patent the product when he developed an “improved chromoscopic adapter” for color television transmissions in 1940.
Tequila - It’s believed that tequila was first produced in the 16th century, although the Aztec people had previously brewed an alcoholic beverage made from the agave plant — long before the Spanish arrived on this continent.
Pinata - Originally piñatas are from China, but the tradition took on new meaning when it was introduced into Europe in the 14th century and later brought to Mexico. Mayan tradition called for a pot filled with decorative feathers to commemorate the birthday of Huitzilopochtli. The Mayans would then blindfold themselves and break the pot with a stick or club, causing the treasures to fall to the floor. This festive ritual later became the basis for the piñata as we know it today.
Caesar Salad - An Italian immigrant named Caesar Cardini operated restaurants in both the United States and Tijuana, Mexico. During one Fourth of July rush, he depleted the kitchen supplies and had to make do with what he had on-hand. Thus, the Caesar Salad was born on the Mexican border.
Margarita Cocktail - The margarita was invented in 1938 by Carlos “Danny” Herrera at his restaurant “Rancho La Gloria”, halfway between Tijuana and Rosarito, Baja California, Mexico; created for customer and former “Ziegfeld” dancer Marjorie King, who was allergic to many spirits, but not to tequila.
Maiz (Corn) - The Olmec and Mayan Indians who first cultivated the vegetable in Mexico.
Birth control - When Mexican Luis Ernesto Miramontes Cardenas was just 25-years-old, he co-discovered the compound which became the chemical basis for the first oral contraceptive. In other words: he invented the world’s first birth control!

WD-40 ► 44 Uses
A lady got up very early one morning and went outside to pick up the Sunday paper, she noticed someone had sprayed red paint all around the sides of the neighbor’s brand new beige truck. She went over and woke him up and gave him the bad news. He was, of course extremely upset. And they stood there trying to figure out what could be done about the problem. They decided there wasn't much recourse but to wait until Monday, since nothing was open. Just then another neighbor came out of his house, surveyed the situation and immediately went to get his WD-40 out and cleaned the red paint off with it. Guess What! It cleaned up that paint without harming the original paint on the truck! I'm impressed!!
The product began from a search for a rust preventative solvent and de greaser to protect Missile parts. WD-40 was created in 1953 by three Technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company. Its name comes from the project that was to find a 'water displacement' compound. They were successful with the fortieth formulation, thus WD-40. The Convair Company bought it in bulk to protect their atlas missile parts. Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing in WD-40 that would hurt you...' IT IS MADE FROM FISH OIL' . When you read the 'shower door' part, try it. It's the first thing that has ever cleaned that spotty shower door. If yours is plastic, it works just as well as glass. It is a miracle! Then try it on your stovetop... It will be shinier than it has ever been before. Here are 44 more uses for it:


  1. Protects silver from tarnishing.

  2. Removes road tar and grime from cars.

  3. Cleans and lubricates guitar strings.

  4. Gives floors that `just-waxed` sheen without making it slippery.

  5. Keeps flies off cows.

  37. Florida's favorite use 'Cleans and removes love bugs from grills and bumpers.'

  38. Protects the Statue of Liberty from the elements.

  39. WD-40 attracts fish. Spray a LITTLE on live bait or lures and you will be catching the big one in no time.

  40. Ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately and stops the itch.

  41. WD-40 is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray on the mark and wipe with a clean rag.

  42. If you've washed and dried a tube of lipstick with a load of laundry, saturate the lipstick spots with WD-40 and Presto! Lipstick is gone!

  43. If you spray WD-40 on the distributor cap, it will displace the moisture and allow the car to start.

  44. If you peel off a sticker from any container, mirror, automobile etc., it will take the stickiness off and leave it cleaner that you had ever thought possible.

Keep a can of WD-40 in your kitchen cabinet. It is good for oven burns or any other type of burn. It takes the burned feeling away and heals with NO scarring. Remember, the basic ingredient is FISH OIL. [Source: Various August 2015 ++]

Have You Heard? ► Beretta Story
This is a story of self-control and marksmanship with an "itsy bitsy shooter" by a woman facing a fierce predator. What is the smallest caliber you trust to protect yourself?

The 25 cal. Beretta Jetfire:




http://us-mg205.mail.yahoo.com/ya/download?mid=2%5f0%5f0%5f1%5f2534924%5fahfgimiaabi4uegxegqvgailupw&pid=2.3&fid=inbox&inline=1&appid=yahoomailneo http://us-mg205.mail.yahoo.com/ya/download?mid=2%5f0%5f0%5f1%5f2534924%5fahfgimiaabi4uegxegqvgailupw&pid=2.2&fid=inbox&inline=1&appid=yahoomailneo

Here's her story:

While out hiking in Alberta Canada with my husband we were surprised by a huge grizzly bear charging at us from out of nowhere. She must have been protecting her cubs because she was extremely aggressive.

If I had not had my little Beretta Jetfire with me I would not be here today!



Just one shot to my husband's knee cap was all it took.

The bear got him and I was able to escape by just walking away at a brisk pace. It's one of the best pistols in my collection.
