The 6-foot-depth requirement for graves originated in the 1660s as a precaution to prevent the spreading of disease during the London plagues. Today, most states require a minimum of 18 inches of soil to cover a casket, creating about a 4-foot grave depth.

Every year countries around the world celebrate World Blood Donor Day (WBDD). The event serves to raise awareness of the need for safe blood and blood products and to thank voluntary, unpaid blood donors for their life-saving gifts of blood. A blood service that gives patients access to safe blood and blood products in sufficient quantity is a key component of an effective health system. https://bit.ly/45lYdLC

Fred Baur had the ingenious idea to stack Pringles. He came up with the idea while working as a Food Storage Technician. Before his passing, he requested his ashes be stored inside a Pringles can when it came time. In 2008, his family split his remains between a traditional urn and the late inventor's greatest creation.
