 On April 1, 1984, one day before his forty-fifth birthday, Gaye's father shot and killed him after an argument that had started after Marvin's parents argued over misplaced business documents

On May 1, 1915, the ship departed New York City bound for Liverpool. Unknown to her passengers but probably no secret to the Germans, almost all her hidden cargo consisted of munitions and contraband destined for the British war effort.

Fortune cookies in their current form were first served in California by immigrants who based the cookie on a traditional Japanese cracker

Who invented the Fortune cookie?

The fortune cookie, like chop suey, is a U.S. invention that is often thought to be from another country.  Discovering their exact origins, however, proves to be as elusive as finding one's way through San Francisco's Chinatown, where a handful of small, family-run fortune cookie factories remain scattered along narrow alleyways and smoky side streets.  While the self-proclaimed "Fortune Cookie Capital of the World" seems the likeliest birthplace, some maintain that fortune cookies actually come from Los Angeles, where Canton-native David Jung, a baker and restauranteur, began making cookies with thin slips of paper inside sometime around 1920.  Jung founded the Hong Kong Noodle Company, which was producing more than 3,000 cookies an hour in the 1920s.   Still another theory holds that the delicate cookies were the brainchild of Makoto Hagiwara, a Japanese designer who first debuted them at the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exhibition.

In 1983, San Francisco's Court of Historical Review ruled in favor of Hagiwara as the inventor of the fortune cookie.

An Austrian immigrant, Leo Hirshfield, producing the candy in a small store in New York City and ended up naming the candy after his five-year-old daughter, whose nickname was "Tootsie."
