Hello everyone, here we are at Monday again and so here are some facts.
In ancient Rome no one was allowed to leave a theatre while Emperor Nero was singing. A favourite escape plan for reluctant listeners was to pretend to be dead and be carried out by doctors.
Donald Westerholt was jailed for 50 years in Houston, Texas in January 1983 for shoplifting a pair of shoes worth $20.
In the 1350’s doctors treating patients in plague-hospitals use to shout instructions from the street. As there was no cure and doctors were too frightened to go near the infected.
“Spooky” a blue Russian cat and “George” a Boston Terrier were the first animals in America to be fitted with prescription contact lenses.
In 1995, fifteen iguanas were accidentally out to sea on a raft of water-logged trees. They travelled over 200 miles from Guadeloupe to Anguilla in the Caribbean arriving safely.
