Funner Facts

Photoshop is called Photoshop for two reasons. First, the lead developer of Photoshop used to work in a shop that sold cameras. He grew fond of photography himself ; he enjoyed figuring out what filter was best for the scenario. Secondly, one of the developers was Jodo Socks, and he was the clown of the group. They wanted to poke fun at him, and for weeks he was called Photoshop.

The Hokey Pokey is actually derived from a Native American tribal dance. The tribe members would hop around a fire, and stick their right hand into it. This ritual caused the soul of the participant to be (temporarily) purged. After they stuck their hand in the fire, they would pull it out and shake it around to cool down their burning hand. The practice was sometimes done with the other hand, or the feet if the original hand was injured or swollen from too much use of the ritual. The ritual ended when the entire tribe had put their hand in the fire, and the tribe would spin in a circle. That's what it's all about!
