Hi Linda. Thanks for the lesson. Here's one for your list.....Old facts --- "Egyptian men urinated sitting down and Egyptian woman urinated standing up".

In Germany, there is a flea that lives and breeds only in beer mats. Remind me NEVER to drink German beer! YUCK! and, guys, please do not tell me those little unknown secrets on what might be hidden in American beer, ok?

In Medieval Times, a spider was rolled in butter and swallowed as a cure for plague and leprosy. OK, now we know what they REALLY died of.

An alligator will go through as many as 3,000 teeth during its lifetime. Yes, I can see that. Considering some of the things they eat.

In ancient Greece, tossing an apple to a girl was a traditional proposal of marriage. Catching it meant she accepted. Boy there must have been a lot of old maids if they were lousy catchers, huh?

King Mongut of Siam had 9,000 wives. Well, what can you say?
