MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Where does the word “fall” come from?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Where does the word “fall” come from?

Happy first day of fall! The chilly air, pumpkins, apples, leaves, it all starts now. But here did the word “fall” come from anyway?

Back in the 1600s it started when a poet from England used the term “fall of leaves” so that’s when people started using it for the name of the season. Once it made it’s way over here to the states, Americans shortened it to just “fall”.

The interesting thing is that most British people nowadays call it “autumn” instead of fall.

Matt and Sarah are having a disagreement about who should be responsible for their lost limo deposit. Matt’s groomsmen used the same limo company that they hired for the wedding to drive them the night of Matt’s bachelor party. The groomsmen trashed the bus and the limo company not only kept their $4000 deposit to cover the incidentals, but they canceled their contract for the wedding.

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Woman finds envelope of cash in her drive-thru bag then does THIS with it

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Woman finds envelope of cash in her drive-thru bag then does THIS with it

Anytime you order food from a drive-thru you probably always check the bag to make sure they got your order correct. But imagine as you’re doing that you come across an envelope filled with cash?!

A woman in Georgia had exactly that happen to her at a KFC. The envelope had $543 dollars in it. Which she found strange that it was such an exact number. Anyone in this position is immediately faced with the moral dilemma of keeping the money or bringing it back. She did the right thing and took the envelope back to the restaurant.

The manager explained what happened. Apparently that was the cash out total from one of the registers and the worker put it in the woman’s bag by mistake. They refunded her lunch order and gave her another free meal on top of it as a thank you for a slip up that probably would’ve cost them their jobs.

A good lesson to always do the right thing.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: What makes leaves turn color in the fall?

I know, I know, last day of summer. Very sad. But the good news is we get to see all this beautiful foliage soon! What makes those leaves look the way the do anyway? The vibrant reds and oranges, the colorful browns and yellows. It’s actually from how much sugar is in the leaves. That’s why maple leaves are usually that bright colorful shade of red, because of all the sugar.

Happy leaf peeping!
