The Social Security Administration just posted its list of the top baby names for 2014. Biblical boy name Noah and girl name Emma are number one for boys and girls, respectively. The Social Security Administration began calculating such numbers in 1997; since then they have amassed records from back to the year 1880. This year's statistics are based on the approximately four million births last year.

The potato story lacks the legend of Fredrick the Great of Prussia who, in the 1770s, tried to encourage his people to grow potatoes. The people viewed them with suspicion, and so:
"Frederick used a bit of reverse psychology: he planted a royal field of potato plants and stationed a heavy guard to protect this field from thieves. Nearby peasants naturally assumed that anything worth guarding was worth stealing, and so snuck into the field and snatched the plants for their home gardens."
