A quick quiz for you? Since which century has candy corn been around?
Inventors love Halloween, too. Visit the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s “The Little Shop of Halloween Patent & Trademark Horrors” to find out actual inventions with a Halloween theme that have been invented over the years.
For those sky watchers/amateur astronomers, you probably want to print out your October sky map to spot the spooky Ghost Head Nebula.
For those environment conscious folks (we should all be), celebrate a green Halloween instead of a traditional orange one! The Environmental Defense Fund reminds us annually of tips for celebrating an eco-friendly Halloween.
