Toward the end of the 19th century, a feud between two scientists advanced the field of Paleontology. O.C. Marsh and E.D. Cope tried to sabotage each other for almost three decades. The feud began in 1868 when Marsh publicly humiliated Cope for incorrectly constructing a dinosaur skeleton. Their skirmish included publishing slanderous articles and selling tawdry information to journalists about each other, stealing and destroying fossils, and planting spies on the other’s job sites - among other things. Even in death, Cope left behind a challenge for Marsh: measuring their cranial circumferences to see whose brain was bigger - Marsh declined. Due to their desire to outdo each other, they discovered over 130 new dinosaur species, including Triceratops, Brontosaurus, and Stegosaurus.

When it rains, it pours. You might be familiar with this idiom. It originated in 1914 when Morton Salt used it as a slogan in their national advertising campaign. They wanted consumers to know their salt would not clump but would flow freely, even on rainy days. The phrase stuck, and over one hundred years later, the image of the Morton Salt Girl remains on their containers.
