TRIVIA MANIA

Let's learn english >
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. That's where the phrase, "goodnight, sleep tight" came from!
The "rule of the thumb" is derived from an old English law that stated
that you couldn't beat your wife with anything wider than your thumb.
It was the accepted practice in Babylon 4000 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 "honeymoon."
and here's my favourite...;)
In ancient England a person could not have sex unless you had the consent
of the King(unless you were in the Royal Family). When anyone wanted to
have a baby, they got consent of the King & he gave them a placard that
they hung on their door while they were having sex. The placard had
F.U.C.K. (Fornication Under Consent of King) on it. Now you know where
that came from
