(Mental Floss) -- There's a good chance you'll either drink too much eggnog this holiday season or spend time around someone who has. Here's a look at the background of this December staple. Eggnog can trace its roots back as far as the 14th century, when medieval Englishmen enjoyed a hot cocktail known as posset. Posset didn't contain eggs -- the Oxford English Dictionary describes it as "a drink made of hot milk curdled with ale, wine, or the like, often sweeten ed and spiced' -- but over the years eggs joined in on the festive fun. While the egg-laden version of posset was popular with the English, it became less common as time went by. Milk and eggs were both scarce and expensive, and the sherry and Madeira used to spike the mixture was pricey, too. Over time, the concoction became a drink that only aristocrats could really afford. @highlight Eggnog can trace its roots to a hot cocktail known as posset @highlight In 1800, the American recipe for eggnog consisted of milk, eggs, rum, and sugar @highlight George Washington's recipe included 3 types of booze: rye whiskey, rum, sherry @highlight A four-ounce cup of store-bought eggnog boasts a whopping 170 calories

While the study showed a loss of about 300 billion tonnes of ice per year from the arctic and Antarctic regions, it concluded that natural processes cannot be ruled out as the force behind the receding ice sheets and thus that future sea-level rise cannot currently be accurately predicted. @highlight Greenland and Antarctica have lost about 300 billion tons of ice per year of the 9-year study @highlight Melt-off could be the result of natural processes @highlight Study warns against using current ice loss data as basis for predictions in sea-level rise @highlight Ten more years of data needed to discover cause of ice loss in Greenland

The turnout was led by ambulance workers involved in rescuing some of those injured in the assault by security forces last Thursday on the Pearl Roundabout, which has been the epicenter of the Shiite-dominated protest movement. @highlight Thousands demonstrate in Bahrain @highlight The government releases a new death toll figure @highlight The king releases some prisoners and closes cases against several Shiite leaders @highlight The move clears the way for return of an opposition leader

Kenya's disputed election in December 2007 added even more fuel to his exposé of @placeholder politics.
(CNN) -- Lampooning politicians in Kenya's The Nation newspaper has been cartoonist Godfrey Mwampembwa's job since 1992, but it was his vocation long before that. Better known by his pen name Gado, Mwampembwa started drawing as a teenager and soon found that blending satire with his drawings could lead to a career. Freelance jobs at newspapers and magazines in Tanzania and Kenya followed for Dar es Salaam's Daily News, Business Times and The Express. Since 1992, Gado has worked as an editorial cartoonist and illustrator for the Kenyan-based Daily Nation, the largest newspaper in East and Central Africa. But now the cartoonist has taken his 2D black-and-white satirizing from the page to the screen. Mwampembwa was the brains behind "The XYZ Show," Kenya's first satirical puppet TV show that aired earlier this year. @highlight Godfrey Mwampembwa, better known as Gado, is Kenya's best-known cartoonist @highlight Has been penning his politically charged cartoons in The Nation since 1992 @highlight Was the creative force behind Kenya's new satirical puppet show, "The XYZ Show"
