Interesting and possibly true bits of crap

True facts

1. In the 1400s a law was set forth in England that a man was allowed to beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb.

Hence we have 'the rule of thumb.'

2. Many years ago in Scotland , a new game was invented. It was ruled 'Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden'... and thus the word GOLF entered into the English language.

3. Each king in a deck of playing cards represents a great king from history:

Spades - King David,

Hearts - Charlemagne,

Clubs -Alexander the Great,

Diamonds - Julius Caesar

4. In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes. When you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase......... 'goodnight, sleep tight.'

5. It was the accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law with all the mead he could drink.

Mead is a honey beer and because their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the honey month, which we know today as the honeymoon.

Someone else add to this nonsense to lighten the load today

That place in

The female orgasm lasts three times longer the male orgasm

What can we say, women have some pretty serious orgasmic advantages in the bedroom. First of all, the typical female orgasm lasts about 20 seconds

That’s more than three times longer than the male experience, which clocks in at just six seconds. Women also have the upper hand when it comes to being able to have multiple orgasms and G-spot orgasms. Ah, it’s great to be a woman

The gspot is a myth and it's just that the front of the vaginal wall is close to the clitoris which is much bigger than you can visibly see and extends internally inside the body.

Neanderthals were a seafaring people.

Hedgehogs are not native to Ireland (nor are toads) hedgehogs were introduced by the Normans, possibly as a form of food.

We did not descend from Neanderthals. Only 1 to 2 % of our DNA is from them. 98% of modern human dna came from species that evolved independently from neanderthals.

I’m a MASSIVE fan of the study of ancient humans. Recent studies on the Neanderthals have been particularly revealing

I LOVE the idea that there were (at one time) totally separate species of human-like tribes who migrated across thousands of miles of land. They had communication and culture and teamwork and were NOT the grunting idiots we imagine. The reason we are what we are is because of passed down knowledge and teaching, and the discovery of storing information and farming. Hunter gatherers were not stupid. They just weren't handed the knowledge that we were as part of the upbringing of their young.

To extend this thought... I wonder what the impact wilo be to our species having access to nearly all perceivable knowledge that comes from the Internet. If we can just stop googling for boobs and cat videos

Anyhoo to stop my habit of derailing the thread. Another potentially true fact, and on a somewhat related theme..

Whales actually have legs and a pelvis. They are just just hidden inside their bodies. They are leftover from when they used to walk on the land.

The digestive biscuut was first developed in 1839 by two Scottish doctors to aid digestion. The term "digestive" is derived from the belief that they had antacid properties due to the use of sodium bicarbonate when they were first developed.

PISS POOR" - They used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in the same pot to collect as much urine as possible. Why? Because once a day, someone from the family took the pot to the tannery and sold the urine. If a family had to do this to survive financially, they were called "Piss poor."

"DIDN'T HAVE A POT TO PISS IN" - Worse than the above were some people who were too poor to buy even the pot to collect their urine. And so they were the poorest and lowest of the low.

A Scottish lord was imprisoned in The Tower of London for his participation in the first Jacobite rebellion in 1715. He escaped disguised as a woman. So a Scottish lord had escaped his crimes, whenever someone gets away with something, they got off “Scot free”.

The English language is an odd one. Where does the 'd' come from, when you shorten refrigerator, to fridge?

Wikipedia: "A modern folk etymology holds that the phrase is derived from the maximum width of a stick allowed for wife-beating under English law, but no such law ever existed."

Sorry, I'll let myself out

I thought that came from scotish law(different to english) when someone turned kings or queens evidence they got off scotish law free thus Scot free

As a man with neither an enormous cock, nor a defined six-pack (think more like keg), I would love to have one or other
