★ The ancient Egyptians thought onions kept evil spirits away. When they took an oath (made a promise), they placed one hand on an onion. 
lol :p



★ During the Civil War, Gen. Ulysses S. Grant believed that onions would prevent dysentery and other physical ailments. He reportedly sent the following message via wire to the War Department: "I will not move my army without onions." Within a day, the U.S. government sent three trainloads of onions to the front.

★ When a body was mummified, its brain was removed through one of its nostrils and its intestines were also removed and placed in jars called canopic jars.

★ Each organ was placed in its own jar. The only internal organ that was not removed was the heart, because Egyptians considered it to be the seat of the soul.
