Always Wondered - Where The Phrase "Take 40 Winks" Came From?

from Always Wondered

On this episode, hear about the time that extra-terrestrials may have actually given us a shout-out!  Was it a cosmic prank, or maybe just an intergalactic butt dial?  We're looking to the skies for the strange tale of the "Wow Signal."  Also, exactly how true are the Old Wives' Tales?  Are they pearls of wisdom, or just something our grandmothers said to make us behave?  Plus - where did the phrase "take 40 winks" come from?  We've got the story behind this sleepy little saying.  Join host Rick Peterson as he answers more of the questions you've Always Wondered about.
