True facts about the 1500's ( These are not made up! LOL! )

Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May and still smelled pretty good by June. However, they were starting to smell so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. 

Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children-last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it - hence the saying "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water." 

Houses had thatched roofs - thick straw - piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the dogs, cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained, it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof - hence the saying "It's raining cats and dogs." 

The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt, hence the saying "dirt poor." The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on the floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they kept adding more thresh until when you opened the door it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entranceway - hence, a "thresh hold." 

In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes the stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while - hence the rhyme, "peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old." 

Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special. When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off. It was a sign of wealth that a man "could bring home the bacon." They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and "chew the fat." 

Most people did not have pewter plates, but had trenchers, a piece of wood with the middle scooped out like a bowl. Often trenchers were made from stale bread which was so old and hard that they could be used for quite some time. Trenchers were never washed and a lot of times worms and mold got into the wood and old bread. After eating off wormy, moldy trenchers, one would get "trench mouth." 

Bread was divided according to status. 
Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or "upper crust." 

Lead cups were used to drink ale or whiskey. 
The combination would sometimes knock them out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the 
road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up - hence the custom of holding a "wake."

Yeah Robert...

This is another I received in an email, a bit better I think...

This letter has been written by an Indian who is still an Indian by
heart, hoping to make other Indians
and non Indians understand better.


I remember in March 1993, when the skyline of Bombay was almost blown
off with a series of bomb blasts- bombs went off at the Bombay Stock
Exchange building, Air India building, Musjid Bunder, a bus near Passport Office, a
building near Poonam Chambers, Plaza cinema hall at Dadar, Centaur Hotel Juhu and Sea Rock Hotel at Bandra to name a few. Thousands lost their lives, thousand others were wounded and the poor became poorer still. We all knew who had done it but were asked by the powerful nations to retrain ourselves and not come to conclusions so fast. To rise above the situation and carry on the teachings of our great leaders of the past like Gandhiji. And so, terrorist likes Dawood and Tiger Memon were allowed to escape to Pakistan and flourish. The world carried on and no one bothered.

A few years later Pakistan once again was at war with us. The Kargil
War will be remembered for many years by those Indians who lived with the
fear of not knowing what will happen next. Horror stories of any war are exactly what it says it is -horrifying! Once again we had great countries like the US telling us to work for peace and that quick fix solutions or an eye for an eye is not the right answer. When documents were produced stating that France continues to sell arms to Pakistan, no embargo, no sanctions but "good advice" was given. We were reminded that we were the world's largest Democracy and hence should be the big sister to a nation who in fact is a day older than us! December 1999, Christmas time, the whole world was celebrating the end of the century and the beginning to a new millennium, but many Indians were watching the news on television for any news on those near and dear ones who were hijacked and suffering in the "cold" land of Khandahar. No help from any nation. The world has no solutions for India! India once again fends for herself. She cries out to put a stop to terrorism that is
rampantly increasing in neighboring Pakistan but what did the great nations profess-show them the other cheek like Jesus Christ told us to do! When, out of desperation, India carried out the Pokhrain II nuclear test, the whole world condemned us, US sanctions were the first to be implemented. 

Pakistan was given as much support as required. India was firmly told to cool down!
India has time and again spoken up for terrorism. The same country which has for centuries been far ahead of the western world in its way of thinking - almost like  another who bears all the sufferings and yet is the first to forget and forgive
Isn't it ironical that the big bully who did not think twice before the Pearl Habour bombing, raced to wipe out Vietnam, eagerly instigated Israel, time and again
reminded their next generation that they should fight for justice turns
about face when it comes to their country?

America, the country who finds it difficult to swallow the same bitter
pill, the DEVELOPED NATION who had no clue of what was going to happen to
them on a Tuesday morning, who had no inkling of events to unfold- the same country who has all along just given us lip service got full support from India in its time of need, a country who has helped the US grow by letting the creme de la creme work in their country- India stood by a nation in its time of need. India,
you are a great country. You are indeed sare jaha se acha. I am proud to be an Indian. Are You?
