fact for 6 dec 2008

Cheroot, a variety of cigar actually gets its name from a Tamil word. In olden days, tobacco was rolled up on leaves or a piece of paper and smoke which was originally called “Surruttu”. Surruttu means “Rolled up”.

Native Cats are a type of small furry animal that lives in the forests of Australia and Tasmania.

Santa Claus stands for Saint Nicholas. Santa's image originally came from a Coca Cola advertisement of St.Nicholas ! The red suit was from Coca Colas colour. Later the image became that Santa or St. Nicholas gave toys just to good kids on christmas day. But what a fact, that the jolly man who celebrates Birth of Christ, originally came from Coca Cola! Now one question remains, is he real?
