Combination Post: Silly Saturday Facts Collection No. 39 + Wacky Border Sunday: The Kentucky Bend

     Hello everybody and welcome back to another edition of Global History Hub! I'll be your host, Mr. Nations, your tour guide to this massive world we all call home! In today's edition, we'll be doing a rare combination post, comprising of Silly Saturday and Wacky Border Sunday! Well, what are we waiting for? Let's dive directly into it!

     Silly Saturday:

• Benjamin Franklin never said that the turkey should be the national bird. He was joking when he wrote that.
• Walt Disney didn't draw Mickey Mouse. It was drawn by Ub Iwerks.
• The huge cowboy hats that everybody associates with the wild west weren't actually the hat of choice for cowboys. The chosen hat was actually a bowler.

     Wacky Border Sunday:

     

     The Kentucky Bend. It's amazing what they can wedge farmland in to.
