Here we are at another
Monday which means it is did you know day.
British
soldiers were nickname “Tommies” in WW1 because of the example
name on the forms to become a soldier was Thomas Atkins.
The
worlds oldest existing restaurant opened in Kai-Feng China in 1153
The
shortest British Monarch was Charles 1 he was 4 ft 9in
It
takes human eyes about an hour to fully adapt to the dark, once they
have adapted, however, the eyes are about 100,000 times my sensitive
to light than they are during daylight hours.
The
first parachute jump from an aeroplane was made by Captain Berry at
St Louis Missouri in 1912

I did not know any of these. Interesting. :) Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteI know my eyes are extremely sensitive to light.
ReplyDeleteI did not know ab out the restaurant - I love to go to to eat - there - not so much!
Interesting about our eyes..
ReplyDeleteI found these facts very interesting, especially the eyes being so sensitive to light. I don't like to put the light on if I have to get up during the night!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know any of these things, either! You can post them again on another Monday; I won't remember. LOL. Take care and have a good week. :-)
ReplyDeleteWas that restaurant burger or pizza?
ReplyDeleteJuli.......Now you do but did you need to know, I doubt it
ReplyDeleteSandie.....Same here about the restraunt
Margaret......Indeed
Rosie.........I am pleased about that
Kea.....Oh h ow I get that

I'll bet you that the monarchs and of course the citizens in general weren't much taller. I have seen uniforms and clothing in museums of peoples anywhere in the world till about 1870; and they were all small enough, women too, to fit a today's 10 yr. old. Even the Civil War here in the S...the boots were small in size and the shaft that fits the calf not much larger around than my forearm! Uniform jackets were so narrow, it is amazing the an adult could wear them. Better nutrition and of course eating a lot have made us all swell to much larger proportions.
ReplyDeleteNever let your gatekeeper down and choose a deal. That is anything but an astute utilization of your cash. Be patient and watch for the correct venture.
