Oh, yeah?  So that means we can talk about politics with no repercussions? I'll start:

Dewey Beats Truman was the real news! Truman stole the election from Dewey!

The origin of Boogieman is the lesser know geological feature called a bog.  Essentially a thin layer of land floating on water.  People can fall through the land and drown.  Criminals would make “hideouts” in bogey areas.

As a results parents would tell scary stories to their kids about the “Bog man” Bogey man… Boogie man… to keep them from going into that area.  
 

cool story bro..😎

The Slinky was invented and developed by American naval engineer Richard T. James in 1943 and successfully demonstrated at Gimbels department store in Philadelphia in November 1945.

The Slinky was originally priced at $1, but many paid much more due to price increases of spring steel in Pennsylvania. It has, however, remained modestly priced throughout its history as a result of Betty James' concern about the toy's affordability for less affluent customers.

In addition to its use as a toy, it has been used as a classroom teaching tool, and as a portable and extendable radio antenna in wartime (particularly during the Vietnam War).
