Hello world, here we are at another Monday and this week things are returning to a new normal for me. Well here are some facts.
Jeremy Bentham, a British philosopher who died in 1832, left his entire estate to the London Hospital provided that his body be allowed to preside over its board meetings.
His skeleton was clothed and fitted with a wax mask of his face, it was present at the meeting for 92 years.
Strawberries have more vitamin C in them than oranges.
Ketchup is excellent for cleaning brass.
The first police force was established in Paris in 1667
Jeremy Bentham - interesting indeed.
ReplyDeleteDidn't know that strawberries had more vitamin C - I eat a lot of strawberries.
All interesting Jo-Anne.
Oh Jo-Anne, just read your previous post - so sorry regarding your mum.
ReplyDeleteThat guy's dead body at meetings--gross!!
ReplyDeleteI will be eating more strawberries after this. Thanks for the facts.
ReplyDeleteUgh, a body presiding over Board meetings is so gruesome by our way of thinking today, though of course it wasn't then. Creepy, creepy, creepy!
ReplyDeleteThat has got to be one of the dumbest post-death requests I've ever heard. "New Normal" is a healthy way of looking at it.
ReplyDeleteThat is creepy/freaky about Jeremy Bentham.
ReplyDeleteI would not have wanted to be on that board with a skeleton after Jeremy's death.
ReplyDeleteMargaret .....In regards to Mum thank you, I also like strawberries
