 Friends         | Hello  atg2015: In Reality plants 🌱 are actually farming us by giving us oxygen daily, until we eventually decompose and they consume us. atg2015: This is very interesting true story and on her grave it says “LIVED ONCE BURIED TWICE” After succumbing to a fever of some sort in 1705, Irish woman Margorie McCall was hastily buried to prevent the spread of whatever had done her in. Margorie was buried with a valuable ring, which her husband had been unable to remove due to swelling. This made her an even better target for body snatchers, who could cash in on both the corpse and the ring. The evening after Margorie was buried, before the soil had even settled, the grave-robbers showed up and started digging. Unable to pry the ring off the finger, they decided to cut the finger off. As soon as blood was drawn, Margorie awoke from her coma, sat straight up and screamed. The fate of the grave-robbers remains unknown. One story says the men dropped dead on the spot, while another claims they fled and never returned to their chosen profession. Margorie climbed out of the hole and made her way back to her home. Her husband John, a doctor, was at home with the children when he heard a knock at the door. He told the children, “If your mother were still alive, I’d swear that was her knock.” When he opened the door to find his wife standing there, dressed in her burial clothes, blood dripping from her finger but very much alive, he dropped dead to the floor. He was buried in the plot Margorie had vacated. Margorie went on to re-marry and have several children. When she did finally die, she was returned to Shankill Cemetery in Lurgan, Ireland, where her gravestone still stands. It bears the inscription “Lived Once, Buried Twice.” atg2015: I would like to share this because wow look at the effect the role of joker had on Heath leger he consumed it and it so dark On January 22, 2008, 28-year-old actor Heath Ledger was found dead in his New York apartment from an accidental drug overdose soon after finishing his role as the Joker in The Dark Knight. The Joker role ravaged Ledger's psyche, often allowing no more than two hours of sleep a night and giving him "walking pneumonia." To cope, he took painkillers, anti-anxiety drugs, and sleeping pills--a concoction strong enough to stop a heart.

A hero is something that gets taken for granted and this man is the hero all men should aim to have the same morals. A man who stood against the greatest battle this country has ever seen and ever will see again in WW2, a man who gave his entire life for Queen and Country. A man who couldn’t walk without aid of his Walker, still stood tall put his medals on his chest and marched to raise money for the NHS. Stand down Sir, Your duty is done 🇬🇧 At the going down of the Sun, and in the morning... WE WILL REMEMBER SIR MAJOR TOM MOORE ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ atg2015: Our father, who art in Wembley, Southgate be thy name. The cup will come, Kane's work will be done, in London as it was in Rome Give us this day our daily pint And forgive Sterling’s offside trespasses, as we forgive those who bet against us. And lead us not into under-achievement. But deliver us the title. For football’s coming home. The history and the glory. Forever and ever. Our men. 🎉⚽🏆🏴 atg2015: 30 years ago, climate change was studied at the primary school as a imminent danger. I read about permafrost melting when I was a child: the immediate consequence was told to be the spreading of old bacteria trapped in the ice. And now there are people who dare to speak about plots and stuff like that: have they ever read a book in their lives? atg2015: She met up with Daz as she enjoys a Cillit Bang but only if he wears Rubber Gloves. She began to Bounce up and down on his Mr Muscle but like Flash in a pan he's done his Fairy Liquid.He tries to Comfort her and makes a Pledge to give a Bold show next time."Cif i care, you don't give One Sheet, why don't you just Vanish!..." she says angrily Within a Jiffy she has to Duck as it turns into Domestos violence. atg2015: WHY? Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard when he lives in the jungle without a razor? Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are flat? Why do banks charge a fee on 'insufficient funds' when they know there is not enough? Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets? Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet? Whose idea was it to put an 'S' in the word 'lisp'? What is the speed of darkness? Why is it that people say they 'slept like a baby' when babies wake up every two hours? If the temperature is zero outside today and it's going to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold will it be? Do married people live longer than single ones or does it only seem longer? How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage? Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground? Did you ever stop and wonder...... Why do toasters always have a setting so high that could burn the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat? Why is there always a light in the fridge and not always in the freezer? Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don't point to their bum when they ask where the bathroom is? Why does your Gynaecologist leave the room when you get undressed if they are going to look up there anyway? Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're both dogs ! If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests? If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, then what is baby oil made from? If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons? Why do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune? Stop singing and read on...... Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup? Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him on a car ride, he sticks his head out the window? Does pushing the button in the lift more than once make it arrive faster?  Leahh_: Right, just as vegans die of a heroin overdose, because they take such great care of their temple. |
The skinning of a corrupt judge, 1498.
Sisamnes was a corrupt royal judge from the time of Cambyses II of Persia. He took a bribe in court and passed an unfair sentence.
As a consequence, the King ordered him to be arrested as a prevaricator and ordered that he'll be skinned alive.
His skin was used to upholster the seat in which he had presided over the trials, and in which his son, Otanes, had to sit, whom Sisamnes chose to replace him.
Otanes had to remember the origin of leather so that he would take it into account in his hearings, deliberations and sentences.
Otanes, his son, never handed down wrongful sentences or carried out acts of corruption.
