How Did People Wake Up Before Alarm Clocks? Kinda Creepy!

Welcome to random facts!!

-- Forrest Mars, founder of Mars, Inc. and inventor of beloved confections (particularly Peanut M&Ms), couldn't actually eat his invention since he was allergic to peanuts. That sucks, don’t it?

-- Disney World in Florida is legally authorized to build and operate its own nuclear power plant. The odds they actually do it are very low, though. Walt Disney was a dreamer & he wanted to move fast, along with the times. He knew that his plan for the park would need lots of power, lots of flexibility and lots of self-government.

-- This is pretty wild. In the early 1900s, before alarm clocks were popular, people in England would hire people to knock on their windows with a pole to wake them up.
