What popular snack food was invented in Italy in 610 AD, and was shaped to look like a child's arms are folded in prayer?

The popular snack food you are referring to is the pretzel. 
According to historical lore, the treat was invented by an Italian monk in 610 AD who folded leftover bread dough into the shape of a child's arms crossed in prayer. He would hand them out to children who had learned their prayers, calling them pretiola, which translates to "little rewards".

For what game were two jokers originally included in a standard deck of playing cards?

Two jokers were not originally invented for a single game; the Joker itself originated in the 1860s as a special trump card (the "Best Bower") for the game of Euchre.

However, for nearly 70 years, decks only included one Joker. The modern standard practice of including two Jokers per single deck was popularized in the late 1940s by the matching card game Canasta. Canasta became an international sensation and required four Jokers across two decks, prompting manufacturers to include two in every standard pack to simplify setup.
