The Earth was here before the moon.
Prior to the moon, a day was approximately 6 hours long.
Once the moon appeared, it slowed the spin to 24 hours a day.

Rough English translation is ‘English knifemen and Nipmuck Indians at the boundary or neutral fishing place’.
Local modern translation evolved into "You fish on your side, I'll fish on my side, and no one shall fish in the middle" |

Jesse Owens, originally known as J.C., was the youngest of ten children (three girls and seven boys), When his new teacher asked his name to enter in her roll book, he said "J.C.", but because of his strong Southern accent, she thought he said "Jesse". The name stuck, and he was known as Jesse Owens for the rest of his life. |

Hitler actually met with Owens away from nearly everyone and congratulated him on his performance. FDR never called him or sent a telegram. J.C. in 1936 campaigned for Alf Landon and considered himself a Republican. |
