What was Mr Potato Head first to do?
Mr. Potato Head was invented by George Lerner in the early 1950s. Lerner would often take potatoes from his mother's garden and using various other fruits and vegetables as facial features, he would make dolls with which his younger sisters could play. The grape-eyed, carrot-nosed, potato-headed dolls became the principal idea behind the plastic toy which would later be manufactured.
Mr. Potato Head is a popular children's toy, first sold in 1952 by Hasbro,[1] consisting of a plastic model of a potato which can be decorated with attachable plastic parts, such as a mustache, hat and nose, to make a face. * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Potato_Head

How long to you cook baked potatoes at 350 degrees?
It would take at least 40-45 minutes to an hour to bake a large potato at 450 degrees. I often cut down the baking time to maybe 30 minutes by cutting the potato in half the long way before baking. Be sure to oil the cut side, and place it cut side down on a baking sheet. The skin side up should also be oiled (as well as pricked with holes as usual). The cut side will get brown, so don't overbake it or it will be too dark.
Will raw potatoes give you worms?
- I believe that in the noodle category will not give you worms if "raw". You see, noodles are already cooked. They are just dry and stiff, that is why you boil them, to give them the moisture back.
- In the meat category, if you eat raw, you are most likely to get worms. Raw meat is like eating dirt, and in that dirt is the worms. But in the meat, it is just infected. When you cook the meat, you supposedly "burn" this bacteria off, and, besides, most of this bacteria is cut off at a meat company in the "meat locker". I myself know because I have been in a "meat locker" before.
- This is all I really know, but most raw things will give you worms. Be aware of the foods you eat and make sure they are done. So don't order stake "rare", because this doubles you chance of getting worms. NEVER order it raw! You would have a 93% or so of getting worms. Take this info and use it.

Did Francis Drake discover the potato?
No. The Spanish are the ones credited with finding the potato in the Andes after the conquered the Incas and then bringing it back to Europe. Francis Drake was an English ship captain (later commander) who constantly was attacking the Spanish and was hated by them. He did travel around the world, but he did not discover the potato. Technically speaking, the locals who lived in the Andes are credited with cultivating the potato over 7000 years ago. So the Spanish were late on the discovery.

As far I know no. Because you can only crossbreed plants if they are of the same family for example you can cross a tomato with a bell pepper because they are of the family 'solanaceae' (which is the Latin name) or translated the 'nightshade' family.
They are harvested to be sold, eaten, stored, or tested.
