I was trying to find out if there was a single word to mean the bumper at the end of a parking spot. [Sunny Brook Pressed Concrete] Parking bumper is a little unwieldy, and wheel chock seems to be more about airplanes or trailers than general parking spaces.
Teddy bears are, of course, named after US President Theodore Teddy Roosevelt. The name came about after a 1902 hunting expedition. The hunt had found no game, so at the end of the day someone brought out a baby bear and suggested that Roosevelt might like to shoot it instead.
Updated April 05, 2017. Theodore (Teddy) Roosevelt, the 26th president of the United States, is the person responsible for giving the teddy bear his name. On November 14, 1902, Roosevelt was helping settle a border dispute between Mississippi and Louisiana. During his spare time, he attended a bear hunt in Mississippi.
