[Ans] Which invention was named after a medieval king?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which invention was named after a medieval king?"



The name "Bluetooth," which refers to the standard for shortrange wireless connections, is derived from Viking King Harald Gormsson, who is credited with uniting Scandinavia. Like many medieval rulers, he also had a nickname: blátonn in Old Norse. It means Bluetooth. Many scholars believe that King Harald became known as Bluetooth because he had a conspicuous dead tooth that literally looked blue. The now iconic Bluetooth logo is actually a combination of King Bluetooth's initials in Scandinavian. Intel mobile engineer Jim Kardac came up with the name in 1997 after reading a book about Vikings.

[Ans] Before Dwight Eisenhower renamed Camp David for his grandson, FDR named it what?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Before Dwight Eisenhower renamed Camp David for his grandson, FDR named it what?"



Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry Truman originally called the Maryland presidential retreat, which opened in 1938, "Shangri-La" after the fictional Himalayan paradise. Dwight Eisenhower, however, wanted a less formal moniker so he renamed it in 1953 in honor of his 5-year-old grandson, David. “Shangri-La was just a little fancy for a Kansas farm boy,” he wrote in a 1953 letter to friend Edward “Swede” Hazlett. Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, who was brought by Eisenhower to the retreat, thought it sounded like a place where “stray dogs were sent to die,” but all subsequent chief executives have kept the name.
