Amuseum!!!!

A collection of amusing facts thru history....
Source : here and there.
Purpose : Just Like That! :-|

1. To take an oath, ancient Romans put a hand on their testicles. (So, when in Rome, do what the Romans do?!? [:o] I guess NOT!! [:O])
2. Until President Kennedy was killed, it wasn't a federal crime to assassinate the President. (NO COMMENTS! :|)
3. Ancient gladiators were mostly vegetarians.( Now, that's interesting! Isn't it?! :P :D)
4. The first known contraceptive was crocodile dung, used by Egyptians in 2000 B.C. (Ewwww.... i'm sure the Egyptians believed it to be an aphrodisiac as well!!!! *Rolls eyes*)
5. Hundreds of years ago, the Aztecs of Mexico and the people of Nicaragua believed gods lived in volcanoes. They would sacrifice beautiful young girls to these powerful gods. (Wow! And they believed their 'Gods' to be womanizers too?!?! [:o] :-/ *Losers!!*)
6. The life expectancy in 1900 was just 47 years. (Yeah?! Well, I think life expectancy and quality somehow, have an inverse proportion. So, I don't know if it has increased to about 50+ now, should we take it as a boon or a curse!! *sighs*)
7. In ancient Egypt, priests plucked EVERY hair from their bodies, including their eyebrows and eyelashes. (In some religions(In India itself, I know) they still do!! Wonder why though!! :-o :-??)
8. Vikings used the skulls of their enemies as drinking vessels. (Bah! I won't be surprised to know they wore their testicles as medals around their neck!! :-/)
9. The Taj Mahal took 20 years and 20 thousand men to finish! (And, by the end of it, all those 20,000 men were finished. Best artisans, what with their wrists chopped-off?!?!!! Barbarism.)
10. Nazi leader Adolf Hitler had only one testicle. (Some ball that was!!! O_o)
11. Leonardo da Vinci was dyslexic, and he often wrote backwards. ( Some of the best creative thinkers are dyslexic. Goes to say, the more you find 'learning' easy, the more difficult being creative becomes?!? [:-o] :-s)
12. That's it for now... Enjoyyyyyyyyyyy! :D :)))
