Lo Mein Noodles were invented in Maine.

Lo Mein Noodles were invented in Maine rather than China. There may be the argument of "Lo Mein is chinese, so China made it. Here is the thing though.

There are people of all types in The United States, meaning that surely a man of chinese heritage decided to make a noodle recipe in the southern parts of Maine. Thus is how Lo Mein Noodles have come to be.

Acronyms were invented by a woman named Jordyn P. Acronymicus in 1676. She even wrote a whole book of all of the acronyms, which was found on the Rosetta stone in 1992. She even taught an entire school on acronym theory, but that knowledge has long been forgotten, and we are with only its shell.

Wisdom teeth are called "wisdom teeth" because of a joke about anesthetics used in wisdom tooth removal. Anesthetics like laughing gas caused patients to behave weirdly, temporarily "losing their wisdom." Thus people pretended that the teeth themselves gave people wisdom.

April fools, I made up that etymology.
