Yesterday I was talking with one of my co-workers about why Baltimore's football team is called the Ravens. I said I'd give him $10 if he knew, but he didn't.

She knew right away that Edgar Allan Poe lived in Baltimore when he wrote his famous poem, "The Raven." Fortunately, though, she didn't want the $20...
