“ I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot, and I missed. I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. „

Lots of gold prospectors meant lots of people who needed stuff, so in 1853, a man named Levi Strauss and his family moved to San Francisco to open a dry goods store, known as Levi Strauss & Co., which sold combs, purses, bedding, and of course, clothes. In 1872, around when Misters Arnold and Slack were about to be uncovered as fraudsters, Strauss and business partner Jacob Davis introduced copper-riveted denim pants — what we now call blue jeans — to area workers. While Levi’s jeans have persisted to this day, one part of them almost didn’t. The back pocket has a double arch design called. the “Arcuate,” seen here, over which the company holds a trademark. During World War II, the U.S. government ruled that the design served no practical purpose and was only decorative, and due to wartime rations involving cotton, did not allow the company to use thread in such a manner. To maintain the trademark (as the design needed to remain in use), the company painted the design onto the jeans. - Now I Know

Grey-Out

Even in pitch darkness, we don’t see the color black. We see a color called “eigengrau,” German for “intrinsic gray,” which is a very dark gray color (as you may have just figured out). Our optic nerves still send signals to our brains, even when there is no light, and the brain translates this into a deep gray.  - Now I Know
