1 Men's tear ducts
are smaller than women’s tear ducts. And we wonder why our boyfriends or
husbands never cry? It’s not their fault, it’s the tear duct.
2 False eyelashes were invented in 1916, by D.W.Griffith who
wanted actress Seena Owen to have big lashes that brushed her cheeks and to
make her eyes bigger. He had a wigmaker create those lashes from human hair and
they were gummed to Seena’s eyelids.
3 George Washington grew marijuana in his garden. However, he
didn’t use it as a recreational drug (well, we don’t really know that for sure)
but he promoted it and used it as hemp and for soil stabilization.
4 In the 18th century women wore bathing gowns in
the water. They were just like dresses and they were made of fabrics that
didn’t become transparent when wet. They also have weights sewn on them so they
wouldn’t rise up in the water.
5 During medieval times people rarely drank water. They mostly
drank alcoholic beverages and used water for preparing food. This was a good
decision since water in those times contained a lot of impurities.
6 Tomatoes are actually fruits and not vegetables as most of us
believe. But tomatoes don’t have a big amount of sugar so they are usually
treated as vegetables.
7 Next time when you go to someone’s house, bring them a
bottle of snake wine. That will surely impress them and you can always show
your courage by drinking it and eating the snake inside for a great show.

My husband has a history degree and always likes to bring up that people never used to drink water when I nag him that he's not drinking enough water during the day :)
ReplyDelete:D it's so cool that your husband has a history degree and he's also right about the water, you should offer him some beer of wine instead. :D
