3 more things you think you know but don't

NEWS ITEM Day after Thanksgiving isn't biggest retail day; typically it's the Saturday before Christmas.
Kool-Aid -- "Drank the Kool-Aid" is a Jonestown reference to buying in to a doctrine, heart and soul, except it wasn't Kool-Aid they drank there. It was Flav-R-Ade.

Lemmings -- It's part of the language that the rodents commit mass suicide by running off cliffs, but they don't do that. Blame a Disney documentary crew.

Fences -- "Good fences make good neighbors" is a line from a Robert Frost poem that doesn't endorse barriers but mocks needless fences.
