Stuff You Didn't Care You Didn't Know
1.Many years ago in Scotland a new game was invented. It was ruled "Gentlemen Only - Ladies Forbidden" and, thus, the term Golf entered into the English language.
2. In the 1400's, a law was set forth that a man was not allowed to beat his wife with a stick thicker than his thumb - from which we get the expression "rule of thumb".
3. The first couple to be shown in bed together on U.S. prime time t.v. were: Fred and Wilma Flintstone.
4. What do bulletproof vests, fire escapes, windshield wipers and laser printers all have in common? They were all invented by women.
5. In Babylon 4,000 years ago, it was the accepted practice that, for a month after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his new son-in-law with all the mead he could drink. Mead is a beer made with honey and because the Babylonian calendar was lunar based, this period was called the "honey month". Which is why today, it is known as the honeymoon.
