A chef's hat is tall and balloons at the top so as to counteract the intense heat in the kitchen.
The unique shape allows air to circulate around the scalp, keeping the head cool.
In 1920, Eugene Debs, a Socialist, received 920,000 votes for president
of the United States even though he ran his entire campaign from prison

Sometime around 1325, the Aztecs were looking for a place to build their capital.
A priest had interpreted an omen to mean the site should be where the found

And that's why they chose what is now Mexico City; they found the eagle eating a snake while resting on a cactus.
The scene is depicted on the Mexican flag
