MILITANTPLATYPUS

And now for this week’s episode of: True or False!

1. It was the accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month after the wedding, the bride’s father would supply his son-in-law with all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer and because their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the honey month, which we know today as the honeymoon.
2. In Shakespeare’s time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes. When you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase…….. “goodnight, sleep tight.”
3. Many years ago in Scotland , a new game was invented. It was ruled “Gentlemen Only…Ladies Forbidden”…and thus the word GOLF entered into the English language.
4. 111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321
5. Q. Half of all Americans live within 50 miles of what?
