Wise World of Wellen presented by Salem Eye Clinic

  1. The Beatles were once in talks to star in a “Lord of the Rings” movie . . . with Paul as Frodo, Ringo as Sam, George as Gandalf, and John as Gollum. They even approached Stanley Kubrick to direct . . . but J.R.R. Tolkien nixed the project.
  2. Perfumes were originally put near the door at department stores to cover the smell of horse manure and car exhaust from the streets.
  3. Every tentacle on an octopus has its own brain.
  4. Even though Nevada is most famous for its legalized gambling, it doesn’t have a lottery.
  5. The phrase “cut to the chase” comes from the silent film era, when movies were usually long love stories that ended with a thrilling chase scene.
