A potpourri of ME

Factoids

, , , , ,

Attila the Hun is thought to have been a dwarf!!!! (Napoleon was short, too!)

George Washington grew marijuanna in his garden!!!! (All that he did with it is not verified.)

St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, is not Irish!!! (Yeah, he was a slave.)

Ancient drinkers warded off the devil by clinking their cups!!! (Clink)

In some parts of Malaya, women keep harems of men!!! (No misspelling.) (One is enough for me.)

Admiral Lord Nelson was less than 1.6 meters tall!!! (Sounds pretty short, how much is that in feet?) (Answer: 5.2 1/2 feet)

Winston Churchill's mom was part red Indian!!! (That is what it says "red Indian", must be American Indian?)

Julius Caesar wore a laurel wreath to cover up his onset of baldness!!! (Declared himself a God but couldn't stop his hair loss. lol)

Ancient Roman men swore oaths by putting their hands on their testicles; from hence we get the term (here it comes) "TESTIMONY!!!" lol

Nuns' habits' headresses cover up their ears because it is believed that the Virgin Mary became pregnant through her ear!!! (Can you imagine! Hey, don't touch my ears!) lol

For a (1904-1906) time there was a distress call "CQD" meaning "seek you" D for "Danger"; this was replaced in 1906 by "SOS" and put into effect all over the world by 1909. Yes, the replacement is SOS. (I like SOS much better, "Save Our Ship" or, as Wiki says "In popular usage, SOS became associated with phrases such as "Save Our Seamen", "Save our Ship", "Survivors On Shore" or "Save Our Souls". These were a later development, most likely used to help remember the correct letters (something known as a backronym).)It is actually Morse Code "three dits, three dahs, three dits".

On that note: Three whistles,or three waves are international symbols of distress. Three fires, too.


ONE NEW ONE: IPODS get HEAVIER when you put music in them -- also the weight depends on which kind of music you input into them. (Research continues and company has to put "weight may vary" on labels! lol-- IS TRUE!!!)

Carol, if we get a harem of men, then we get to spend all the monies they make -- maybe I will change my mind about this.
