About the Radithor thing, it is true and there's this story of a guy which his jaw just fell off, he consumed it so constantly to the point he drank 3 jars at a day all this for more than 3 years, he died at 1932, after his jaw fell off his body was already disintegrating from the inside out till his dead and after more than 30 years in 1965 they exhumed his body and realized his body had the same amount of radiation as he died, they discovered that Radium, one of Radithor's components, has a life span of 600 years so that guy's body will be emitting radiation for a few more centuries

Also, Radium was a highly popular product since people believed that had miracle effects and was a component on a lot of medical products till they discovered it's real and scary properties

John Wilkes Booth (the assassin who shot Lincoln) had a brother named Edwin Booth- also an actor. Edwin Booth - right around the same time of the assassination (1864-1865) unknowingly saved the life of Lincoln's son Robert Lincoln from being hit by a train on a train platform in New Jersey - most incredible is that Edwin had no idea who he had saved til months later. This fact, it was reported, later helped Edwin deal with the fact his brother had murdered the President.

Wojtek didn't smoke the cigarettes, he ate them. Also, he was originally kept just as a company pet but when the unit was boarding the ship from I believe North Africa to Italy, the British wouldn't let him on since he was considered a pet.
