Jordan wasn't cut from his H.S. basketball team.

He tried out for the varsity team as a sophmore and his coach told him he would be better off starting on the JV team rather sitting on the bench for the varsity team.

oh yea... In 1939, Sanders bought a "new-fangled" device called a pressure cooker. With it, he developed a method of cooking great fried chicken without the 30-minute wait that came with it. One day, he spices and added it to the pressure cooker. The rest is history.
