Rhodri Marsden's Interesting Objects: The doughnut hole

* This weekend 168 years ago, a violent storm rocked a lime-trading ship captained by Hanson Gregory, a citizen of Rockport, Maine. This presented him with a problem. He was, of course, obliged to continue steering the ship through the bad weather, but at that moment he was rather busy eating a doughnut. His nifty solution: to temporarily impale the doughnut on one of the spokes of the ship's wheel. O! The doughnut hole was born.
