If you thought a four-leaf clover was lucky, check out this thing: it's a 56-leaf clover. The clover was found by Japanese farmer and clover expert Shigeo Obara, featured previously on Neatorama. That's a lot of clover leaves - enough luck for a whole village!
I can believe it. I downed a case (16 pints) of Ben and Jerry's French Vanilla in about a week. I haven't been able to eat French Vanilla ice cream in a decade.
When I read the story about Henry Ford, I started laughing.. I constantly give my girlfriend, who is Henry Ford's great great granddaughter, a hard time for eating chocolate for breakfast...I can see that odd diets run in her family. That family defiantly walks the fine line between crazy and intelligence.
I could really go for an all-chocolate diet. I mean, scientists have discovered it's good for you, right...? So that means that triple-fudge brownie is actually health food! :-)
I live near the Evergreen Aviation museum in Oregon, home of the Spruce Goose. When you go into the plane and listen to the tour guide they'll tell you the very same story about the ice cream, complete with the names of some of the people who were involved in the purchase. I don't know if that counts as confirmed, but they oughta know. :-)

This reminds me of Lemonhead's tribe in Monkey Island.
