Strange
K133351115:
By Lucie Winbome
- A swarm of 20,000 bees followed
a car for two days because their queen
was inside the vehicle. The insects
were removed by a beekeeper after the
car was parked, but were back the next
day, as the queen was still inside.
Peter Ostrum, who portrayed Char-
lie Bucket in the original “Charlie
and the Chocolate Factory,” declined
the offer of a three-picture deal and
bought a horse with his movie eam~
ings. His resulting love for animals led
him to pursue a career not as an actor,
but a veterinarian.
- During World War 11, Coca-Cola
wanted soldiers to have a taste of home
and opened bottling plants near Europe.
However, the soda was synonymous
with the States, making it problematic
for non~Americans to be seen drinking
it, especially in the Soviet Union where
it was viewed as a symbol of Amer-
ican imperialism. Soviet Gen. Mar-
shal Georgy Zhukov, a fan who didn’t
want to be seen consuming it himself,
appealed to the company to make a
clear version. A chemist at the Austrian
bottling plant obliged by removing the
drink’s coloring, after which “White
Coke” was bottled in clear glass with a ‘
white cap and red star.
“Jeopardy” fan Cindy Stowell
dreamed nearly her entire life of being
a contestant on the show. In 2016 she
successfully auditioned and became a
six-time champion even while battling
Stage 4 cancer during filming. Sad-
ly, she didn’t live to see her episodes
air, but her $103,000 in winnings was
donated to cancer organizations.
“Alice in Wonderland” author Lew-
is Carroll wasn’t the best at personal
finance. Sure, he paid his debts on time,
but would also often overdraft upwards
of 7,500 pounds sterling —- in spite of
being a mathematics scholar at Oxford!
