Here I am with the
first “did you know” Monday of the year, more trivial facts that
you may know or may not know, that may or may not interest you but my
life isn't that interesting and I like to share not only my life but
other things as well.
So here we go with did
you know.
In
1996 Martina Hingis became the youngest ever Wimbledon Champion,
winning the Ladies doubles with Helena Sukova at the age of 15.
In
1985 Boris Becker was the youngest male to win the men's singles aged
17 & 227days old, however, in 1989
Michael
Chang, won the French Open when he was17 years & 110 days).
It is said that people
born on Christmas Day are lucky in life and will never drown or be
hanged also they are unable to see ghosts, really?????????????
Speaking
of ghosts they appear in four Shakespearian plays, Julius Caesar,
Richard 111, Hamlet & Macbeth.
The
"Curse of Macbeth" is the misfortune that happens during
the production of the play.
The theory goes that Shakespeare included actual black magic spells in the incantations of the weird sisters. Those who appear in the play or those who mention the play's name within the confines of a theatre risk having these evils brought down on their heads.

Interesting Jo-Anne.
ReplyDeleteI'd have to see a ghost to believe in one :)
I do believe in them
DeleteI have never heard those facts about people born on Christmas Day. Fascinating!
ReplyDeleteYes I thought so
DeleteInteresting facts. Glad to know those things. You all have a great day.
ReplyDeleteThank you, interesting indeed
DeleteThat reminded me in Neil Gaiman's Sandman comic, Dream has an encounter with Shakespeare- and if you want to connect legends, I'd say any curse on Will is from the real Puck following him around...
ReplyDeleteDidn't know any of those!
