Islam factoid of the day:

Didja know? Mohammed had 12 wives, the youngest of which was 9 years old. ::))

1) Ottoman [F. ottomane, from ottoman Turkish.] A stuffed seat without a back, originally used in Turkey.
2) "Mother of . . " - phrase popularized by Saddam Hussein has achieved popularity in western lexicon.
3) Shish-kabob - this one is debatable. I suspect that this favorite food was invented by creative middle eastern peoples B.M. - before Mohammed.
