Here are this weeks did
you know facts.
The
world's first speed limit regulation was in England in 1903, it was
20mph.
According
to a British law passed in 1845 attempting to commit suicide was an
offence which was punishable by death........yeah that makes sence
Copies
of the Bible and the Koran small enough to f it into a walnut shell
have been written hand..........what the hell
A
mantelpiece is so called because at one time people hang their coats
also known as mantles over the fireplace to dry them.
For
a short time in 1967 the American Typers Association made a new
punctuation make that was a combination of the question mark and
exclamation mark called a “interrobang” it was rarely used and
haven't been seen since.
Very interesting Jo-Anne. Love the 'attempting to commit suicide', then punishment death!
ReplyDeleteWho ever thought the government would be the back up plan for suicide!
