Just because it's interesting.

1066andallthat is a community with the aim of posting "one interesting historical thing a day - whether that's a bit of trivia, a book rec, a link to a news story of historical interest or a rec of a film, documentary or television period drama."
Over the last umpteen weeks (trans: 2 months, which is as far as I went back) examples from the headlines include -
Medieval Underwear
The Day The English Discovered Cannabis
Baby Names - 17th Century Puritan Style
Seven Strange Taxes From History
Camlann, USA
Gladiator School
Oldest Art in Australia
The Forgotten Africans of Tudor England
The Oldest Surviving House in the USA?
The Best Drink - 1600 Style
There is a bias towards European and specifically British history, but that's because the mod is British. But members are positively asked to send in suggestions for posts, so if membership increases, that may shift.
Why am I posting this? Not because I've been asked, but because I happened to look at the membership list today and realised that the Com and I only have one friend in common. And it occurred to me that my flist is an intelligent, interested and interesting flist. And further, that you might be interested by this com too.
