Happy Birthday, Donut!

Did you know the donut turned 164 years old on June 22nd? The story goes that a Dutch sea captain invented the pastry in 1847 out of necessity. He was eating a piece of cake and a storm suddenly hit, so he impaled the treat on the steering wheel to save it for later. And voila! We've got a donut. But with age comes eccentricity.
