In the original laws of the game it was legal for all players to catch the ball in their hands. Thierry Henry still played to the original laws. Well worth spending some time reading up on the history and origins of the game if you're bored. Lots of interesting stuff. |

Quite a basic fact, but a nice one nonetheless. Aluminum was actually the second name we gave to Aluminium, which was itself, surprisingly, the third name. Aluminium stuck because scientists around the time preferred sticking to the ium already used in other elements such as sodium, iridium, calcium and what not. (The first name was Alumium.)
Eighty odd years ago, Americans moved back to Aluminum, from Aluminium and only a few decades ago did the element officially become named, world-wide (for want of a better way of putting it) Aluminium.
