Trivia for Today! (April 23, 2015)

Did you know?

Did you know that the first use of the now popular OMG was in the year 1917? 

"O.M.G." first appeared in a letter to Winston Churchill by British Navy Admiral John Arbuthnot Fisher. The said letter read as follows:

"I hear that a new order of Knighthood is on the tapis--O.M.G. (Oh! My God!)--Shower it on the Admiralty!" 

Admiral Fisher was 71 years old then.
