Sean Hutchinson at Mental Floss recently posted 17 Facts About Al Capone<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0 You know the drill, before you click over, here are three of my favorites and my thoughts on each…<\/p>\n

AL CAPONE GOT THE NICKNAME SCARFACE FROM A BARROOM FRACAS.<\/strong> (It’s not surprising to note that Capone hated the nickname Scarface<\/em>.\u00a0 Even more interesting is that he preferred friends to call him Snorky<\/em>.\u00a0 Somehow Snorky<\/em> doesn’t seem as threatening as Scarface<\/em>, and you can be sure if Capone was around and he wanted to be called Snorky<\/em>, Snorky<\/em> it would be. – Craig)<\/p>\n

AL CAPONE\u2019S \u201cCHICAGO OUTFIT\u201d MADE A LOT OF MONEY<\/strong>.\u00a0 (Reportedly Capone’s outfit made $100 million in 1920.\u00a0 Today the equivalent would be $13,352,700,000.00.\u00a0 That’s 13 Billion plus dollars!\u00a0 Wowzers! – Craig)<\/p>\n

AL CAPONE RAN A SOUP KITCHEN DURING THE DEPRESSION.\u00a0<\/strong> (You’d think that this showed that Capone had a good heart.\u00a0 Remember this was the same guy who beat to death three men with a baseball bat after serving them dinner, and the same guy who killed or had killed many, many people.\u00a0 The soup kitchen was done to win public good will for his upcoming trial! – Craig)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
