I always thought that Cinco de Mayo was a Mexican celebration of their independence from a foreign governing body. I discovered that I was wrong.

On May 5th 1862, the locals from the Mexican mountain town of Puebla fought off a highly trained advancing French army that is often described as “elite.” The peasants were significantly outnumbered, yet they prevailed.

Many local Mexican farmers went on the offensive that day and struck down the attack. This was cause for huge celebration and now there is the tradition of observing the 5th of May on that day in 1862 - Cinco de Mayo.

I had no idea why an American football was called a “pigskin”. I always assumed that it was due to the original American football being made out of pig hide.

In reality, a football is made out of cowhide and there is a rubber bladder inside that holds the air to keep the ball from rupturing when all those beefy athletes pile on top of it.

In the “old days”, the ball was made with cow hide but used a pig bladder to keep the air in!
