Turkeys, Crayons & Mondays

“Non-Turkish Turkeys…Skin Color Changes…& Dangerous Mondays!”

 

Americans got the word for turkeys because they wrongly thought they were from Turkey.  In the country of Turkey, they call the birds hindis, because they wrongly thought they were from India.  They’re actually native to the Americas.

 

The Crayola crayon color “Peach” was called “Flesh” until 1962, when they felt it was racist to consider that THE flesh color.  Also, they didn’t change the “Indian Red” crayon color to “Chestnut” until 1999.

 

You’re more likely to get hurt at work on a Monday than any other day of the week.  Fridays have the fewest injuries.
