This has been... Your fact of the day.

When it snaps it's claw, it creates a bubble that collapses, inducing a shock wave that is hotter than the sun.

This has been... Your fact of the day. Correct me if i'm wrong, but I believe the name before then was "the Executive Mansion" Also, the building of today is not the original - the first White House was destroyed during the War of 1812, when the British soldiers set fire to Washington D.C.
It was originally called the "Presidents Palace" but was changed to the "Executive Mansion" to avoid connections to royalty. Theodore Roosevelt adopted the name "White House" in 1901. Also it was burned in the war of 1812 but the actual year it was burned was 1814.
