This book is a collection of scripts originally written for radio and first heard on Sound Source Network's syndicated radio show, "Now You Know."
The concept was born while I ("the author") was producing another Standard Broadcasting series, "Life in the Twentieth Century." During the mixing, my technical wizard, Gary Mottola, would invariably react to scripted anecdotal (轶事) information with, "I didn't know that,” to which I would respond, "Well, now you know." That repeated exchange started me thinking along a different track that led to this project.
The DNA of a culture is found within its language and rituals. These are our living links t the past. Without realizing it, hundreds of times each day we express the thoughts and ideas of our ancestors through our words and customs. The custom of two people shaking hands upon meeting comes from a Roman practice, for example, and the expression "sleep tight" dates back to the sixteenth century.
The scripts that comprise this book, although thoroughly researched, are not academic studies, but rather, they are meant to entertain and arouse curiosity. Originally confined to thirty-second radio blurbs, the information within is concise, eclectic, and often fascinating. You'll learn how history is alive within each of us and in fact woven into the routines of our everyday existence.
Just enjoy it!

For example:

Why do we say "goodbye"  when leaving someone?

The word "goodbye" is a derivative of the early English greeting "God be with you," or as it was said then, "God be with ye." Over the years its abbreviated written form and pronunciation became "goodbye.".....
