Shakespeare (or Francis Bacon, depending on how you feel about that), created more than a thousand words and phrases that we use regularly now.

Drinking 16 ounces of ice water(0 degrees Celsius), requires the body to burn 17.5 Calories to warm the water up to body temperature. The recommended daily intake of water is 64 ounces (eight 8-ounce glasses). The body will burn 70 Calories if this amount is consumed as ice water.

Human tonsils can bouce higher than a rubber ball of similar weight and size, but only for the first 30 minutes after they've been removed.

The phrase "rule of thumb" is derived from an old english law which stated that you couldn't beat your wife with anything wider than your thumb. :blink:

Oscar Wilde's full name was, Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde.

During the late 1800s, postage rates around the world dropped, and the obscene St. Valentine's Day card became popular, despite the Victorian era being otherwise very prudish. As the numbers of racy valentines grew, several countries banned the practice of exchanging Valentine's Days cards. During this period, Chicago's post office rejected more than 25,000 cards on the grounds that they were so indecent, they were not fit to be carried through the U.S. mail

It wasn't until 1537 that St. Valentine's Day was declared an official holiday. England's King Henry VIII declared February 14th a holiday.
