Don't ask me how but the Ancient Egyptians shaved with the first thing - Capitalist pigs eatin' all our money - And something I like to call ghetto Shakespeare.
Oompa Loompa Gobble-di goo..
1) We attribute much of Britain’s Modern plays to Shakespeare. A new search of his tomb could finally settle what the Bard actually wrote. (Link)
2) From the Great Depression and FDR’s New Deal, here are some historic caricatures. More time changes and more society will blame government spending and big business for all their woes. (Link)
3) The fascinating history of shaving. No kidding, it’s really interesting. (Link)
4) Have a lot of disposable income for frivolous purchases? Well, here are the cars of FDR, Frank Sinatra and Al Capone up for sale. (Link)
5) A 1700 year-old tablet shows a man complaining about taxes and the inadequate economic reforms of the new Roman Emperor Septimus Severus. So…bitching at Obama for his predecessor’s actions and a worldwide market largely out of his control has a precedent. (Link)
As for the lighter side: Cracked.com’s “6 ‘Facts’ About Historic Figures (Their Enemies Made Up)” – Turns out Napoleon was actually of quite average stature; that must mean that all French people are small. (Link)
End.
