Teddy bears were invented at the turn of the 20th century after former US president Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt refused to shoot a small bear cub that his hunting party had tied to a tree for him to shoot as it was not gentlemanly. The episode became popular around the country, especially after this cartoon in the Washington Post

A store owner started to make "Teddy's bear" and the stuffed toy soon became a household item. Roosevelt even used the bear as a mascot in his successful re-election bid.

A short piece of deliberately false information in a book or directory may sometimes be placed amongst genuine content, for purposes or stopping plagiarism (fake phone numbers in a telephone directory, for example) or to check you've actually read something through (something nonsensical in the first chapter, and later in the text told to be incorrect). These pieces of falsification are called 'Mountweazels'.
