Who was Sarah Winchester?

Sarah L. Winchester (September 1839 – September 5, 1922) was the wife of William Wirt Winchester and heiress to his estate and a 50 percent holding in the Winchester Repeating Arms Company following his death from tuberculosis in 1881. Convinced spirits would kill her if she completed construction of her California home, Sarah used her fortune to continue uninterrupted, round-the-clock construction on it for 38 consecutive years. Since her death, the sprawling Winchester Mystery House has become a popular tourist attraction, known for its many staircases and corridors leading nowhere. Texsource Wikipedia

United World Games Klagenfurt 2012

21st - 24th June 2012

In 2004 a team of young and sport fanatic people decided to take a rather small regional sport event, which was especially designed for Austrians, to a whole new international level. It took an entire year to prepare and organize this international event and even more time was spent on the phone just to call and invite teams from all over Europe. This concept of Sport Youth Games with a unique Olympic atmosphere and big fun potential, yet with enough time for personal and intercultural encounters even off the fields, seemed to attract everyone right away.

2006 - Here come the Americans...
No sooner said than done: At the UWG 2006 90% of the first edition's participants showed up again and many new faces were joining them. In total more than 2500 athletes from 17 different nations (with the first teams from the U.S.) joined this time. No longer could the city center hold that many people and the exhibition center of Klagenfurt was turned into a humongous Players Town. Once again the big international UWG family spent four thrilling and action packed days together.
2011 - More sports with Fistball and Tennis

2011 had many new suprises in store for the participants. For the first time in the history of the Games the sport of fistball was added and an international fistball tournament brought the biggest talents together. It turned out to be an ideal showcase opportunity for the sport, which is played in many countries, but yet not known to many people. Over all, more than 4,000 atheletes particpated in the UNITED WORLD GAMES 2011.

Why do movies use 555 numbers?

The phone companies began encouraging the producers of television shows and movies to use the 555 prefix for fictional telephone numbers, roughly during the 1960s. One of the earliest uses of a 555 number can be seen in Panic in Year Zero! (1962), with 555-2106.
In older television shows from the 1950s or 1960s, "Klondike 5" or "Klamath 5" was used, as at the time the telephone exchanges used letters and numbers in phone numbers. More recent works set in this period typically use this convention as well. For example, in Back to the Future Dr. Emmett Brown's 1955 phone number is "Klondike 5-4385" while the 1985 Jennifer Parker character writes the number 555-4823 on the clock tower flier telling Marty to call her at her grandmother's.
In 2011, the fictional Netflix Relief Fund satirized the company's price increase of that year and used the fictional number 1-555-368-7147...

Childhood memories with Sunkist

I was very surprised, Sunkist (sun-kissed) is a real american product and I found it last year at "Lidl". But unfortunately not in the famous sunkist tetrahedron package.

Sunkist is a brand of primarily orange flavored soft drinks launched in 1979.
Sunkist was first licensed by Sunkist Growers to the General Cinema Corporation, the leading independent bottler of Pepsi-Cola products at the time...

Sunkist Growers, Incorporated is a citrus growers' non-stock membership cooperative composed of 6,000 members from California and Arizona. It is headquartered in the Sherman Oaks district of Los Angeles.Through 31 offices in the United States and Canada and four offices outside North America, its sales in 1991 totalled $956 million.
