The toothbrush was invented in 1498.
The waffle iron was invented August 24, 1869.
The alarm clock was not invented by the Marquis de Sade, as some suspect, but rather by a man named Levi Hutchins of Concord, New Hampshire, in 1787. Perversity, though, characterized his invention from the beginning. The alarm on his clock could ring only at 4 am. Rumor has it that Hutchins was murdered by his wife at 4:05 am on a very dark and deeply cold New England morning.

Apa itu SPA?
SPA merupakan singkatan daripada 'solus per aqua', yang beerti perawatan dengan air. Ini mengingatkan kita bahawa kekuatan utama bagi SPA adalah AIR! Untuk memberikan kesan yang baik, perawatan air ini turut diolah dan dikombinasikan dengan perawatan lain seperti terapi aroma, urutan dan muzik. Selain itu, SPA juga terbahagi kepada dua kategori iaitu 'medical spa' dan 'health spa'. Selalunya, SPA sebaiknya dilakukan selama 15-20 minit pada suhu air yang stabil.
