The YO YO is the second oldest known toy in the world, the oldest is a doll, it was invented 3000 years ago in Greece.
According to ancient law in York, it was ok to shoot a Scotsman with a bow and arrow, except on Sundays.
That last one is amusing, but not so back then.
ReplyDeleteDidn't know about the airport.
The others are interesting too..
Interesting facts. It is true that there is a Dumdum airport. If the last one is true, then the Scotsman can only be seen on Sunday without being shot at.
ReplyDeleteDearest Jo-Anne,
ReplyDeleteThe shooting with bow and arrow at a Scotsman is pure horror! Read that this archaic law in Britain was abolished in 2013 and it was only if the Scotsman was carrying a bow and arrow...
Hugs,

I didn't know any of those - nice facts today.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised by this one:
