===== FACTOIDS =====
factoid: a briefly stated and usually trivial fact
Playing cards were issued to British pilots in WW II. If captured,
they could be soaked in water and unfolded to reveal a map for
escape.
"John has a long moustache" was the coded-signal used by the
French Resistance in WW II to mobilize their forces once the
Allies had landed on the Normandy beaches.
At the end of the Spanish-American War, in 1898, the United
States occupied Cuba. Rioting mobs in the street, along with
outbreaks of malaria and yellow fever, created havoc in the
country. Lieutenant James Moss was sent with is troops to
maintain order; they were successful. The unique thing about
Moss's 25th Infantry of only 100 men was that they were a
bicycle corps -- they all rode bicycles, they were all black,
and they never once used their weapons while in Cuba.
