I'm pretty sure nitroglycerin molecules are made up of three carbon atoms, five hydrogen atoms, three nitrogen atoms, and nine oxygen atoms. I could be wrong.

I'm not quite sure, but the elements are correct anyway.

Colenel Sanders was born in Henryville, Indiana. His father died when he was six years old, and since his mother worked, he was forced to cook for his family. During his teen years, Sanders worked many jobs, including firefighter, steamboat driver, insurance salesman, and he served as an Army private in Cuba.

Jules Verne foresaw the invention of the computer, the internet, the television and the US becoming the superpower of the world (which wasn't at all obvious to most people at that time). The so called Columbiade cannon, from which three men are shot out into space inside a gigantic projectile, was situated (in fiction) almost exactly where Cape Canaveral is today.

Some historians believe that the Red Baron died due to bad judgement resulting from a head wound. He was famous among his fellow German aces for his strict rules of engagement with the enemy. After sustaining a head wound, he insisted on going back into combat. He died under circumstances that violated his rules of engagement, and seemed to indicate impaired judgement.

Herman Göring was in the same squad as Baron von Richthofen.

Herman Göring as young, that is, before he went fat, was very like my grandpa as he was young. Göring was born 32 years before my grandpa, though.

In the 1920s Göring was in a Swedish mental hospital, due to his morphine abuse. According to the medical records, he broke into the medicine case and gave himself injections with Eukodal, a very strong opioid, stronger than Vicodin.
