So, I'm bored, and I'll post five random facts my research uncovered.Some of them I might have recently discovered, others I might have known for years. Just depends.
1. In Hinduism, people love cows so much, they let them wander the streets. They're considered holy. This is because Hindus believe in reincarnation, being born into another life after you die, and that some people are reborn into animals, like cows. And rats, and insects. If you're lucky, you get reborn into a higher social class.
2. Honey isn't just used for culinary purposes. It can be used on burns, rashes, sore throats, AND Ancient Egyptians used it for embalming the dead.
3. If a person in a coma is unidentified, then hospitals are still required to take care of them, until they can be. They might be assigned a court appointed guardian, who wouldn't pull the plug unless it could be proven that they wouldn't live for long and they were in pain.
4. Justice translates to "Iustitia" in Latin.
5. Color therapy can help cure depression in some people. Not everyone, but some.
I've started reading Mirrorscape now. I'm swamped with schoolwork, and it'll probably be awhile until I post anything again. I'll try, though. And now, a quote:
"I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying." -Oscar Wilde
