Every year a masked man leaves roses and cognac at Edgar Allan Poe's grave!
He died in Baltimore and was buried, yet in the 1930’s a tradition began that can be classified nearly as strange as Poe’s life. He’s called the “Poe Toaster.” The nickname was given to a mysterious man that dressed in black with a wide-brimmed hat, white scarf, roses, and a bottle of cognac. The unknown man shows up every year since the 1930’s on January 19th at Poe’s gravesite and pours himself a glass of cognac in which he toasts Poe’s memory.
After the cognac, he arranges the roses in a very specific order on the tombstone and leaves the half-empty bottle as well. Attempts have been made several times to catch of glimpse of the unknown man and discover his true identity, yet each has been unsuccessful. Fans of the Toaster became nervous as the years went on that eventually the man would have to stop coming, yet after leaving several notes it is now assumed that a younger “son” has emerged to take on the Toaster’s responsibility!
It was called “World Jump Day,” and it took place on July 20th, 2006 at 11:39.13. The organization that organized the day claimed that 600 million people from the western hemisphere were participating and that at the given time every person would jump. The hope was that the force of everyone jumping would slightly shift Earth out of its orbit and that it would end global warming. 
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology actually has quite a few clever cheers for their sports teams. If you’ve ever attended a sports game, you probably need little introduction. Since MIT is primarily a tech related school, the chants for their sports teams are right in that spirit. 
Remember that surprise smooth between Jack Sparrow and Elizabeth Swann? Well, as it turns out, Orlando Bloom didn’t know about the kiss until it actually happened; it was cut out from his script! The filmmakers wanted a genuinely surprised reaction from actor, so they kept it a secret until the last few seconds. Other hidden facts about Dead Man’s Chest:
Figueres was the 32nd, 34th, and 38th president of Costa Rica. Through the course of his terms, he gave women and illiterates the right to vote and he guaranteed public education for all. He created and helped pass a basic welfare legislation, and even directed the writing of a new constitution! Oh and did I mention; he single-handedly stopped a band of hijackers.
