The recent random information that we have enjoyed for your learning pleasure:

1. Influenza got its name from the fact that people believed the disease was caused by the evil “influence” of stars.

2. Abrahan Lincoln’s mother died when the family dairy cow ate poisonous mushrooms and Mrs. Lincoln drank its milk.

My question about the second one is why did just the mom die? Was she the only one who drank the milk? Did she test the milk before giving it to her kids in case of  a case of poisonous mushroom-tainted milk? Oh so many questions.
