Welcome to the off ramp, a chance to slow down steer clear of crazy and take a side road to Saturday with fascinating facts and tantalizing trivia. So Marcia, what toy gave the NFL the name for its biggest game of the year? Gosh, what’s the name of the biggest game of the year?

Marcia Smith 0:53
The Super Bowl Super

Bob Smith 0:54
Bowl. So what was the toy that gave that game? Its name? The Super Bowl, the Super Bowl. Remember those? Yeah, those little brown hard things very hard things. Yes. The Super Bowl was a toy invented by Norman Stingley, who was a chemical engineer in 1964. In his spare time, he accidentally invented something a goopy rubber like substance made from synthetic material used for automobile tires does have a cool he compressed it with 3500 pounds of pressure and it had an incredible bounce. They could bounce up to 92% of the height from which they were dropped. He took it to whammo, the company that did the Frisbee and the hula hoop and they marketed it as the Super Bowl. Those balls were so compressed whammo sold 20 million of those between 1965 and 1970. Out is 98 cents. The

Marcia Smith 1:46
original price. Yeah, that’s fine. We could all for them.

Bob Smith 1:48
So how did that lead to the Super Bowl? Well, when the National Football League and the American Football League were discussing a merger and a championship game in the late 60s, the owners were struggling to come up with a unique game name. I have Pete Roselle. He was the NFL commissioner. He suggested the big one. Let’s call this big game, the big one that never caught on the World Series of football that was also rejected. The first games were called the AFL NFL World Championship

Marcia Smith 2:16
games. Yeah, that’s when the Packers won the first one. And then the American

Bob Smith 2:20
Football League founder. The Kansas City Chiefs owner said oh, we get called the Super Bowl. He said the name probably registered in my head because my daughter Sharon and my son Lamar Jr. had a children’s toy called a Super Bowl. And I probably interchange the phonetics of bowl and ball. So the press started calling it that. It’s been the Super Bowl since 1969. Okay, wow, very interesting. And that’s how the Super Bowl, a child’s toy gave the NFL the name for its biggest game of the year.

Marcia Smith 2:49
Okay. What famous artists painted from the back of their Model A Ford

Bob Smith 2:54
back of a Model A Ford? Was that Picasso? Possibly? No. Okay, was it somebody who painted landscapes by any chance? Who would that be? Who was painting landscapes and other things from the backup a model? If I don’t know who is this modernist

Marcia Smith 3:09
artists, Georgia O’Keeffe, Georgia O’Keeffe. Really? Yeah. Wow, she sought to be closely connected with the scenic New Mexican landscape that was the subject of many of

Bob Smith 3:21
her works, those beautiful flowers and so forth. Yeah.

Marcia Smith 3:23
But part of working outdoors was that it was hot as hell and plentiful bee swarms. Apparently. Undeterred, O’Keeffe came up with the idea that would protect her from the elements while painting. During her first visit to New Mexico. She purchased a custom Model A Ford to explore the land. It had detachable front seats, and she would remove the passenger seat and spin the driver’s seat around to face the back. This allowed her to set up campus on the backseat while she sat comfortably using the car as protection from the sun and the insects. Wow. That’s, that’s pretty cool.

Bob Smith 3:59
It’s what a woman Georgia O’Keeffe. She’s painting in the back of a Model A Ford. That’s pretty cool. I never heard that story either. Okay, Marcia, the first commercial motion picture screening. When was it and where was it? The first place anybody ever charged admission? I’ll give you some choices. Oh, thank you, Los Angeles, London, Paris, or New York City. And what year was it? For

Marcia Smith 4:22
God’s sakes? I don’t know. I’ll say New York City in 1912.

Bob Smith 4:29
It was before then, and it was not in New York. Okay. It was in Paris in 1895. Now, Thomas Edison had the kinetic scope, but that only allowed one person at a time to view the motion pictures through people. So the brothers Louis and Auguste Lumiere, they invented the cinematic graph, the First Motion Picture projection system in the mid 1890s, to screen films publicly, and the first of those took place in the spring of 1895 at the Grand cafe in Paris, very nice. Sounds like a great place to watch. Yeah, I love it. And the short films included workers leaving the Lumiere factory loom workers leaving the factory people from their own factory. Oh,

Marcia Smith 5:08
okay, I got another artists question. This guy before he died, he sold one painting called the Red vineyard. Okay, who was it?

Bob Smith 5:17
Was that the man who cut his ear off? That’s the guy. Okay. And that is Van Gogh? Yes, Vincent

Marcia Smith 5:24
van Gogh. He started painting around age 27 and met his untimely demise just a decade later, so only had 10 years to paint. He rendered a lot of paintings but never sold any of them except for the red vineyard guy and he sold it for 400 Belgian francs. That’s about $2,000 today, which is bad.

Bob Smith 5:44
That was good money back then,

Marcia Smith 5:45
in the winter of 1890. And then six months later, he died.

Bob Smith 5:49
So speaking of artists, how did the monkeys spelled with two E’s ah, and the Alamo influence artist David Bowie’s musical career?

Marcia Smith 5:59
Well, that’s a curious Yeah. Hey, Bob. Well,

Bob Smith 6:04
how did they influence his musical career? That’s the monkeys and who and the animal? Yeah. How did they influence David Boies musical career? Well, he had to come up with a different name because he was born David, Robert Jones, but he had to change his name when he was 18 because he wanted to avoid confusion with another British musician named Davy Jones of the Monkees.

Marcia Smith 6:25
Net now and Bowie. What was the first name? Tim Bowen, Jim Bowie, David Bowie read about him when he went to the Alamo? Yes. And so he liked it. He

Bob Smith 6:34
didn’t visit the Alamo that I know of, but he chose Jim buoy in homage to the Texas hero, Jim Bowie, who is played by Richard Widmark in the 1960 film, The Alamo. Okay, so that’s how the Monkees and the Alamo influenced David Boies. Musical career. I like that. That’s pretty arcane, isn’t it? Yes, it

Marcia Smith 6:54
is. But I like it. It’s

Bob Smith 6:55
history. And it’s entertainment. Okay.

Marcia Smith 6:57
The iconic Sports Illustrated magazine. Bob, you ever get it when you were a kid or your dad?

Bob Smith 7:03
Yeah, we used to read that we had Sports Illustrated coming into the house every was a week or two weeks every

Marcia Smith 7:07
Wednesday. Guess what was on the cover when it debuted in 1954.

Bob Smith 7:13
What was on the cover when it debuted in 1954? Would that have been Jackie Robinson? By any chance? Yeah. All 1954 Okay, that was the year of the four minute mile. Could that have been the guy who broke the four minute mile?

Marcia Smith 7:27
No. Was it?

Bob Smith 7:30
I don’t know. What was it? Well,

Marcia Smith 7:31
you’re going to get this the Milwaukee County Stadium. Oh, really? Yeah. With Eddie Matthews at bat, along with Hank Aaron. He and Eddie Mathews were my mom’s favorite Milwaukee Braves at the time. And Eddie Matthews was on the cover of the first sharing. Sports Illustrated. Okay, by the way, you can buy a copy of that first issue on eBay for $7,500 Oh

Bob Smith 7:55
my god. Really? Yes. Wow.

Marcia Smith 7:57
How come you and I keep all the wrong mag. I

Bob Smith 7:59
do keep rolling stone. I’ve got time but I didn’t get that one. All right. All right. Marsha. Let’s talk about architecture now. Okay, okay. What buildings dome has a larger diameter. I’m gonna give you three choices. The Pantheon in Rome, St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, or the Royal Albert Hall in London. These are

Marcia Smith 8:20
domes to say number two,

Bob Smith 8:22
St. Peter’s Basilica. Ah, no, those St. Peter’s dome does have a diameter of 137 feet. The Roman Pantheon. Its dome is 142 feet. That’s almost 2000 years old. Yeah, it’s amazing. Wow, however, but it once had the record for the world’s largest dome that was overtaken by England’s Royal Albert Hall in 1871. It has a glazed Iron Dome of 272 feet in diameter.

Marcia Smith 8:49
That’s pretty dark. Okay, another

Bob Smith 8:51
structure, another historic structure. All right, what European gate is taller, the Brandenburg Gate in Germany, the ark. That’s what I love

Marcia Smith 9:00
about it, I’ll say that are a dead tie off.

Bob Smith 9:05
And you’re right. It’s almost twice as tall. The Brandenburg Gate built in 1788, which once marked the divide between East and West Germany stands at five feet tall, but the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, commissioned by Napoleon a little guy, yeah, this color. It’s 162 feet high, classic, classic big. It was commissioned at 1806 and was completed in 1836 15 years after Napoleon died. Didn’t we go to the top of that? Yes, we did. There’s a museum up there. Remember, they had done display cases everything inside was

Marcia Smith 9:37
big. And I remember thinking you could never cross this street. million years without getting killed. One of

Bob Smith 9:43
my colleagues from Rockwell who worked in Paris said don’t try to cross the street. Take the tunnel underneath because you would die because it’s a big circle. It’s like the worst roundabout roundabout in the world in the world. The world’s most dangerous roundabout in the world. Okay, Bob.

Marcia Smith 9:58
According to the 2023 Health Index what US states are the healthiest based on such things as life expectancy disease, environmental favourability healthcare infrastructure education. Okay, Ventura,

Bob Smith 10:13
California. I said it because it’s got great, beautiful countryside. It’s gorgeous out there.

Marcia Smith 10:19
It’s not in the top five. It isn’t now,

Bob Smith 10:22
can I ask for the different parts of the United States? This is in are the is this in the Northeast? No. in the southwest number

Marcia Smith 10:29
one Yeah. Nope. Nope, nope.

Bob Smith 10:31
God I don’t know Marsh let’s let’s do North Dakota just for the hell of it. No,

Marcia Smith 10:35
it’s it’s way worse. Bob way west. Okay,

Bob Smith 10:39
so it must be Oregon or Washington. Oh, Hawaii

Marcia Smith 10:43
is the most it has the highest health index at 2.2. And that’s followed by Massachusetts at 78 Utah 77.9. Okay, Colorado 77.7 and Connecticut 76.9. So they all have they’re all good places to live for health for health reasons may be expensive, but they’re good to live for who want to guess who’s on the rock bottom, Mississippi, West Virginia, Alabama and Kentucky.

Bob Smith 11:10
Okay. All right. Marcia, what is not one of California’s top 10 exports. I’m gonna give you a choice here. Okay, give you four of them. Tell me which one is not one of California’s top 10 exports, almonds, diamonds, poultry, or mo dems?

Marcia Smith 11:27
How say diamonds? No,

Bob Smith 11:29
that’s one of them. All right. Almonds, diamonds, poultry are modems, poultry. That’s right, believe it or not aircraft parts, electronic goods such as modems and semiconductor parts. unmounted diamonds and unshelled. Almonds are all California products. However, poultry doesn’t rank among their top 10 exports. You’d think there’d be a lot of chickens. What’s the most common export shared by 14 states? I’m going to give you a choice here. All right. This is the most common shared by 14 states. This is a surprise. Okay. Okay. Of all the exports, petroleum wheat, precious metals and aircraft parts. What’s the most common top export shared by 14 states? Weak? No.

Marcia Smith 12:11
airplane parts? Yes.

Bob Smith 12:13
Believe it or not aircraft and airplane parts. It’s the most common category of exports in the United States. It tops the list for 14 states. Arizona, Arkansas, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, New Hampshire, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Washington, and Wisconsin. Really? It’s the number one export case. That’s amazing, isn’t it? Yeah. Aircraft and airplane parts.

Marcia Smith 12:41
All right, Bob. United States paper money. Isn’t paper.

Bob Smith 12:45
What? What is it? Well, I think it’s made out of rags. Isn’t it recycled rags and things like that? It’s

Marcia Smith 12:51
75% cotton, and 25% linen.

Bob Smith 12:55
Well, that’s what I said. It’s rags.

Marcia Smith 12:58
I don’t wonder thought of rags. My

Bob Smith 12:59
mom used to say it’s made out of rags. It’s dirty. Don’t play with really rags. Yeah, I never thought she was and this has been dead for years.

Marcia Smith 13:07
This water. This water resistant durable material can hold up to far more wear and tear than actual wood pulp paper. While $1 can be torn with intentional force, it would take an estimated 4,000 repetitive folds to put a tear in it. Yeah, American dollars also include red and blue synthetic fibers which are woven into the material and included to make counterfeiting more difficult.

Bob Smith 13:33
Okay. All right. Well, let’s take a money break.

Marcia Smith 13:35
Our money break.

Bob Smith 13:36
We’ll be back on the money show. You’re listening to the off ramp with Bob

Marcia Smith 13:40
and Marsha Smith.

Bob Smith 13:44
We’re back. You’re listening to the off ramp with Bob and Marsha Smith. Was that a Yelp? I heard? What was that?

Marcia Smith 13:50
That was excitement. Oh, being back

Bob Smith 13:52
excitement. If you’d like excitement, visit our website, the off ramp dot show. All right. I’m just trying to get people to go. Okay. And if you like our show, you can leave a message there. Or if you have a funny question or something you’d like to stump one of us with. You can leave that there too. Just scroll down to the Contact Us portion of our website, the off ramp dot show. All right. We do this every week for the Cedarburg Public Library Cedarburg, Wisconsin, and their internet radio station. Then it goes on podcast platforms all over the world. All right. All right, Marcia.

Marcia Smith 14:25
Okay. for over 30 years this British Airways passenger jet could fly from London to New York and under three hours name this plane. That was

Bob Smith 14:34
the Concorde? That’s correct. That was the Concorde? Yes. And they’re talking about bringing those back now in a different form. It

Marcia Smith 14:40
stopped flying in 2003. That was too noisy and too expensive. By 1996 a round trip ticket in today’s money would be $12,500. Wow, that’s a lot of money to go but it’s under three hours to get from London to New York and how fast you want Guess how fast? How

Bob Smith 15:01
fast did it fly? What’s normal plane flying at 600 miles per hour, something like that. And I think so I bet at least twice that 1200 miles per hour. That’s really

Marcia Smith 15:10
good Bob. It was 1354 miles an hour more than twice the speed of sound. And there are still 18 left of them in the fleet, but they’re not flying.

Bob Smith 15:21
I did that because I knew it takes about six hours to get from the East Coast to London. Oh, planes flying at 600 miles per hour

Marcia Smith 15:28
deductive reasoning.

Bob Smith 15:30
Wait a Sherlock Holmes, right.

Marcia Smith 15:31
That’s cognitive.

Bob Smith 15:32
Elementary, my dear. Planes traveling at 600 miles per hour. If it takes half the time, it’s going twice. Alright, very good. All right, Marcia, because of their long legs, what birds young are called Colts. Every beat please because of their long legs. What birds young are called Colts.

Marcia Smith 15:53
Are they ostriches? Are pelicans. No. Or what are those flamingos? No, I don’t know any other.

Bob Smith 16:00
It’s North America’s tallest bird though. Ah, stands five feet tall. Haha. It’s younger called Colts. Yeah, like baby horses.

Marcia Smith 16:07
And the answer is the whooping crane. Ah, there you go. That’s a good one. Okay, do you want to play? Who am I? Yes,

Bob Smith 16:15
we started this the last show. Yes. Okay. So this is where you give me a profile of someone and I have to guess who it is. All right.

Marcia Smith 16:23
All right, fair. She started her career as a teacher and clerk, but became interested in the health field during the Civil War, she cared for wounded soldiers on the battlefield. When the war ended, she created a bureau to look for missing men. On a trip to Switzerland. She learned about the Red Cross based in Zurich. She worked with the organization during the Franco Prussian war. And in 1873, she returned to the United States to facilitate the creation of the American Red Cross. If this

Bob Smith 16:53
was Jeopardy, I would have hit that bell three sentences ago. He was Clara Barton. That’s it.

Marcia Smith 16:58
That’s it. Ding ding ding. Barton, I think you’ll get this one too. Okay. He had to leave school. After only three years, his family moved from Scotland to Allegheny Pennsylvania, when he was 14 and arrived in America penniless. Uh huh. He’s,

Bob Smith 17:15
I know, this is Andrew Carnegie. Yes, Carnegie.

Marcia Smith 17:18
Yeah. Right. That’s right. And I got a lot more description. But you got it. You want to tell us more about he started work as a messenger boy for a Telegraph Company and rose to become one of the richest men in America as the founder of a major Steel Company. In 1901. He sold his company for $480 million. That’s a lot of money back then. Yeah. He believed in philanthropy. And what did he give us? A whole lot of libraries, libraries all over the place. He founded 3000 Libraries Bob, and he educated the people who staff them. He trained them Yeah. Oh, really? He also funded the construction of 7000 church organs. Oh, I didn’t know that. I didn’t know that part either. Well, you did very well. Thank you very much.

Bob Smith 18:05
You’re welcome, young man. Nice to be fresh, Mr. Carnegie or Carnegie? Isn’t that interesting? He started in calligraphy there were a number of famous people in the 19th century. They started out as telegraph operators, him Yeah, Thomas Edison, David Sarnoff, who came to NBC and they all work for telegraphy companies. Alright, Marsha, which of these muscles in the human body does not tire? The quadriceps, the ABS, the cardiac or the gluteus? Which of these muscles? Does not tire the gluteus know? What keeps working every day? Every hour? Yes, that’s it. And the average person’s heart beats more than 4000 times an hour.

Marcia Smith 18:48
Oh my god, three an hour. How can that be divided by

Bob Smith 18:52
64,000 divided by 60? equals 66? Yeah, that’s about 66.6 beats a minute mark.

Marcia Smith 19:02
That’s the average. I was worried about it wearing out like that 4000 times

Bob Smith 19:06
an hour, your heartbeat. That’s amazing. And it does that until the day you die. I think it’s fascinating. So if you figure on that average, by the time you’re 70, your heart will beat some two and a half billion times. So that’s the cardiac muscle that doesn’t tire until it’s finally done. All

Marcia Smith 19:25
right, Bob, if you stayed in the honeymoon suite of the Arabic is a r b e z our beds hotel, you would be sleeping in two different countries.

Bob Smith 19:37
I was gonna ask you where it is, but you’re not going to tell me that which two countries? Okay, is this in Europe? Yes. Is it in? Just right down through the middle? Oh, man went

Marcia Smith 19:48
right through the honeymoon suite. I don’t know where it is. Okay, it’s France and Switzerland. Oh, it’s mostly located in LA musei. France. I checked it out and you can get a room nearby for as little as $119 a night today. Well, we should check it out. Okay, but

Bob Smith 20:04
getting there is what cost you? Yeah. That’s true as well. That’s great. All right, Marsha. One more body question. How many muscles are in the human body? Oh, 150 320 600 or 3200 320 320? No. 100? No.

Marcia Smith 20:25
What was the third one? 600 600?

Bob Smith 20:26
Yes. Yes, there are about 600 or more muscles in the human body. What is the strongest, strongest bone in the human body? Is it the radius, the scapula, the femur or the tibia? Come on. This is from the Cleveland Clinic. So I know this is true. What

Marcia Smith 20:44
femur? What is that? That’s, that wouldn’t be that strong. That’s it. It is the

Bob Smith 20:50
femur. thigh bone. It’s the longest strongest bone in the body. Hmm. It’s part of your ability to stand and move. So the femur supports many important muscles, tendons, ligaments and components of the circulatory system. And it’s so strong. It usually takes severe trauma, like a fall or a car accident to break the femur. But that is considered the strongest bone in the body, the femur. Hmm, that’s good to know. Even stronger than your funny bone, your funny bone. You think that would be the one that would be? Like yes, my

Marcia Smith 21:20
big one. All right. This famous Route was expanded in 2016 to accommodate the larger size of modern vehicles. I’m going to give you some choices. Okay. All right. The autobahn. Okay, Panama Canal, route 66. Or the Silk Road? I’ll

Bob Smith 21:37
say the Silk Road. That’s the one from China. Right. But

Marcia Smith 21:42
it answers No, no, no. So the other ones autobahn? Or the Panama Canal. Let’s

Bob Smith 21:48
be the Autobahn for bigger trucks. No.

Marcia Smith 21:52
Many other choices don’t know the Panama Canal. Really. It was expanded to accommodate the growing number of container and bulk ships that were too big for the original infrastructure. Oh, why didn’t I know this? I didn’t know it either. And the expansion included the construction of a new set of locks on the Atlantic and Pacific sides of the waterway, creating a third lane of traffic and doubling the cargo capacity of the system. Wow, the locks are 70 feet wider and 18 feet deeper than the original canal and they use less water. They use less water due to water saving basins. They recycle 60% of the water used per transit and authority say with these improvements, that canal could continue to serve the world for a whole nother century. That’s

Bob Smith 22:41
pretty impressive. Okay, Marcia, another muscle story. How many muscles are in the tongue? 816? One or none? Nah, one. What’s that one? No, none. The soft Patty of flesh we call the tongue? It’s a conglomeration of eight separate muscles. Oh, really? Yeah. That’s why you have to train people to speak you know, you’re actually training somebody how to use the toddler mover in in any language. You know, language is used the tongue in different ways. Yeah. So unlike other muscles, such as the bicep tongue muscles don’t develop around a supporting bone. Instead, they intertwine to create a flexible matrix forming what is called a muscular hydrostat. So, don’t say it’s my tongue. My muscular hydrostat right on the tip of my tongue. Yeah, the tip of my muscular hydrostat. This structure is similar to an octopus is tentacles or an elephant’s trunk. So your tongue is related to those. Alright, so remember, it’s not a tongue. It’s a muscular hydrostat.

Marcia Smith 23:41
Okay, before we close with my quote of the day, a quickie. Give me a ballpark figure. How old are the atoms that are inside our bodies?

Bob Smith 23:51
how old they are? Yeah. Well, you can’t say there is old as we are. But I guess, I guess if you look back and say, okay, every person came from another person came from another person came from another person ad infinitum. We’re talking hundreds of 1000s of years old. The atoms in the body are millions of years old. I don’t know what

Marcia Smith 24:12
Yes. According to interesting facts.com Uh huh. It’s billions of wow, it’s true that age is just a number Bob, and millions apparently. And in the cosmic view of the universe, human age is pretty insignificant. But the atoms that make up the human body are already billions of years old. For example, hydrogen, one of the key components in our bodies formed in the Big Bang 13 point 7 billion years ago. Yes. And likewise, carbon in our body is the primary component of all known life. And that was formed in the fiery cauldron of stars at least 7 billion years ago. So

Bob Smith 24:51
we are billions of years old. So

Marcia Smith 24:53
when someone says we’re just made of star stuff, they got some go in there. Or if

Bob Smith 24:57
they say, hey, they’re only as young as you feel notes on some

Marcia Smith 25:01
days billions of years old. I feel like I

Bob Smith 25:03
should have retired years ago. So ourselves these are our atoms in our body are billions of years old. That’s even more of a miracle, isn’t

Marcia Smith 25:12
it? Yeah. And maybe that’s why we have weird deja vu. Yeah, I

Bob Smith 25:16
think it probably is. No, you’re going back to

Marcia Smith 25:18
the cosmos. All right. All right. You

Bob Smith 25:20
think that fact is interesting? Oh, yes. Which of the following organs can emit its own sounds? Tell me the answer to

Marcia Smith 25:27
this one big one on you.

Bob Smith 25:30
Okay, which of the following organs can emit their own sounds, eyes, liver, brain, or ears. Now, the the name for these sounds are called the auto acoustic emissions that’s oto auto acoustic emissions, brain, ears, liver or eyes, liver, no brain, no. Your ears and eyes generate auto acoustic emissions. When you hear a tone or a noise. The noise waves are transmitted to a part of your inner ear called the cochlea. These noises stimulate your hair cells in the inner part of your cochlea that send electrical signals to your brain to be processed. Other hair cells in the cochlea are also stimulated. These generate waves along the membrane. Wait a minute, we’re not done yet. Oh my God, and they can help to amplify and fine tune the sound you hear. So these waves also get sent back out of your ear and can be heard if you amplify them. So it’s your ear. Your ears make noises. You haven’t even heard these noises. Your ear is making them. That is so strange. Wow. Listen to that. This is from Indiana public health. That whole thing. Your ears are making noises. No wonder I can’t hear things. It’s interference.

Marcia Smith 26:49
interference. All right. Okay. All right. Here’s a quote from Martin Luther King Jr. We must accept finite disappointment but never lose. infinite hope.

Bob Smith 27:00
That’s a good one. Yeah.

Marcia Smith 27:01
It’s nice finite disappointment, but in finite hope. I’m

Bob Smith 27:06
sorry. I couldn’t hear you. My ears. Were making noise. Like yours. We’re making noise. All right. Oh, boy. Do you learn interesting facts on this show. All right.

Marcia Smith 27:15
