Did You Know That..

The Beatles song Hey Jude was first called Hey Jules

The Beatles song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" does not stand for "LSD." The title actually comes from John Lennon's son Julian, who left his mark on more than one Beatles song. His drawing of a nursery school classmate, Lucy O'Donnell caught his father's eye. When asked what it was called, Julian replied, "Lucy in the sky with diamonds."

When John Lennon divorced Julian's mother Cynthia, Paul McCartney composed a little song to cheer the boy up. Eventually Hey Jules evolved into Hey Jude.

Prior to being named "The Beatles" the band had several names. In the llate 1950s, John Lennon and Paul McCartney formed a group to play skiffle music in Liverpool pubs. They began as the Quarrymen, then became: Johnny and the Moondogs, the Moonshiners, and Long John and the Silver Beatles. They became "The Beatles" in 1960. The band broke up in 1970.

Did you know that the EU classifies tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers and pumpkins as fruits?

- petter

tomatoes, cucumber are fruit. the fruit is the seed bearing part of a plant.

The silly one is a carrot, because the Portugese make carrot jam, and jam is defined as being made from fruit. so rather than do the obvious thing and redefine jam, which is an arbitrary definition anyway, they redefine a biological term - though only for the Directive of 2001/113/EC.
