[Answer] Trace amounts of boron give the Hope Diamond what color?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Trace amounts of boron give the Hope Diamond what color?"



...The Hope Diamond, one of the most famous gemstones in the world, is renowned for its deep blue color.

The 45.52-carat Hope Diamond is believed to have originated in India and is now housed at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, where it remains one of the museum’s most visited treasures.

[Answer] I Love Lucy was based on what 1940s radio program?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "I Love Lucy was based on what 1940s radio program?"



...Lucille Ball recorded “My Favorite Husband” with Richard Denning for 124 episodes from 1948 to 1951. The radio show was based on a book called “Mr. and Mrs. Cugat,” and described as "two people who live together and like it."

[Answer] What word was banned on “I Love Lucy”?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What word was banned on “I Love Lucy”?"



...To accommodate Ball’s actual pregnancy during season two, the producers wrote it into the show. Up to that point, only one other show (“Mary Kay and Johnny”) had ever shown a pregnant character on screen. For each episode, the show had a minister, a priest, and a rabbi on set to ensure that all the material was appropriate for viewers. At the time, they couldn’t even say the word “pregnant” on air, which led to some creative ways to explain Lucy’s condition — expecting, “‘spectin,’” and even the French “enceinte.” Lucille Ball gave birth to their son on the same day that “Lucy Goes to the Hospital” aired on national TV.
