If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle. If the horse has one front leg in the air the person died as a result of wounds received in battle. If the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.

I am gonna call this one. If it is true than we in the US have a general that lived three times. There are multiple statues of General WInfield Scott in DC and there is at least one instance of each stance. Sorry.

Chef Boyardee was a real man. Hector Boiardi, an Italian immigrant, came to the United States in 1914 when he was only 17.

Upon his arrival, he immediately got a job as a chef at New York's Plaza Hotel, where his brother worked as a waiter. After moving to Cleveland, he perfected his spaghetti and meatball recipe in 1929. His customers kept asking for bottles of his pasta sauce so they could have it at home, and he obliged. He then added cheeses and pasta to the sauce.

The results were so popular that he started to sell the products in area stores, and later in stores outside the area. Boiardi remained an advisor in the canned pasta business until his death at age 87 in 1985. And yes, that is Hector's picture on the label.

The Eisenhower interstate system requires that one mile in every
five must be straight. These straight sections are usable as
airstrips in times of war or other emergencies.

The Eisenhower Interstate System started in the town in which I live here in South Georgia. We have a statue to honor him.
