The first televised tornado warning was issued in 1954, on WKY TV in Oklahoma City, by weatherman Harry Volkman.

Despite being almost always confused and comingled in the brains of nearly every American, the Pilgrims and the Puritans were two separate groups, whose emigration to America really had almost nothing to do with one another. Both happened to settle in Massachusetts, but about 10 years apart, and for differing reasons. The Pilgrims sought separation from the church, while the Puritans simply wanted church reform. The descendants of the two groups eventually combined, after many founding members of each were gone.

Henry Ford rigged one of his cars to barbecue meat using engine heat. He and Thomas Edison used to drive out to the country cooking their food along the way and then stop for a picnic.

Henry Ford is given credit for inventing charcoal (bricketts).

My first brand new car was a 1972 Toyota Celica. It actually came with not only a tool kit and 12v trouble light but a recipe book! You wrap things in foil, on top of exhaust manifold...book told cooking time.

And the charcoal company is still around - Kingsford, the original name was Ford's Charcoal. The wood that was turned into charcoal came from scraps from the manufacture of Model T's, early recycling.

You're right! If I recall correctly, he used some of the packing crates for the floor boards in the model T's.
