Life in the 16th century
The life in the 16Th century is very strange, I think sometimes is very difficult, people need to do a lot of things but the life isn't very comfortable, many people haven't got a lot of money so they need to do more things like a Tudor toilet, very strange but imaginative and practice I think than you gonna enjoy it! :) (no, I don't :s).
Well, I gonna tell you a lite information of this ok?:The next time you are complaining because the water temperature isn’t just how you like it, think about how things used to be.
Here are some facts about the 1500s:
These are interesting…
Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and still smelled pretty good by June. However, they were starting to smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor.Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married.
Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it. Hence the saying, “Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water.”
Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and off the roof. Hence the saying “It’s raining cats and dogs.”
There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess up your nice clean bed. Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection. That’s how canopy beds came into existence. ( I can't life there)
The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt. Hence the saying “dirt poor.” The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on the floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they added more thresh until when you opened the door it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entrance way.Hence the saying a “thresh hold.” (Maybe the season can be very difficult there, in winter a lot of people are cold and they die, the really is very difficult)
(Getting quite an education, aren’t you?) :)
In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day.Sometimes stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while.Hence the rhyme, “Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old.”
Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special. When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off. It was a sign of wealth that a man could “bring home the bacon.” They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and “chew the fat.” and bla bla bla, very bored, I this I repeat all the things all the time (no, sometimes is very interesting so I recommended to read all the thing, ''please read all because I don't do that for nothing'') :)
Home life: very good, I like it.
There were none of the comforts we have today. Water was collected from village pumps, wells or streams but was often
Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning death. This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous.
Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or “upper crust.” ( yes, all of us know the home life, you can fall and you die, jajaja... the home life is very good!:P)
Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky. The combination would sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up.Hence the custom of holding a “wake.”
Sometimes the graveyard was overfull and the local folks started running out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a “bone-house” and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell.Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be “saved by the bell” or was considered a dead ringer. ( yes, yes, whisky and a lot of things, this is the good part! I think than in the life 16th century all the people of a village are friends and they go to the bar and... you know, are men's things!)
And that’s the truth… Now, whoever said that History was boring !
Tudor Toilets: very strange... :)
Toilets were called 'Privies' and were not very private at all. They were often just a piece of wood over a bowl or a hole in the ground.
Imagine if you need to do your ''things''( :P ) on thins... hajj, the next day I gonna be ill!
I don't like to life in the 16Th century life so I'm so happy to life in my life but, if I honest sometimes I think than if I stay in Oder time the life isn't gonna be default, only... different... what do you think? (put it in a comment).
Enyoy it!

The globe theatre
On wendsday we went to the global theatre.
A good moment spend and this is what I could listen to the guide!!:)
The Globe Theatre was a theatre in London associated with William Shakespeare. It was built in 1599 by Shakespeare's playing company, the Lord Chamberlain's Men, and was destroyed by fire on 29 June 1613. A second Globe Theatre was rebuilt on the same site by June 1614 and closed in 1642.
A modern reconstruction of the Globe, named "Shakespeare's Globe", opened in 1997. It is approximately 230 metres (750 ft) from the site of the original theatre.
Layout
Exterior of the modern reproduction of the Globe.
The Globe's actual dimensions are unknown, but its shape and size can be approximated from scholarly inquiry over the last two centuries. The evidence suggests that it was a three-storey, open-air amphitheatre approximately 100 feet in diameter that could house up to 3,000 spectators.The Globe is shown as round on Wenceslas Hollar's sketch of the building, later incorporated into his engraved "Long View" of London in 1647. However, in 1988-89, the uncovering of a small part of the Globe's foundation suggested that it was a polygon of 20 sides

My City in the Future
In the future the world is gonna be very different, not only psychologically, also physically, since the continents are dividing up to remain in in islands. Of the world that you speaking it is of a world after approximately 300 years, In that, probably everything is very different.
Every contaminated enough estaria, though already they will be invented things that do not contaminate, cars with hydrogen or things like that, but system of oxygen was needed some one.
All need of a crystal mother that us protected, as the atmosphere.

Mercurio
Yes, Mercury, he is not anybody that you know, he is a person who invents me when it was young, it is not possible to say that was a hero since not always the law, the have a few theories more concrete.I am in the habit of drawing it in my house, I have a lot of drawings of and I have made a comic, also I have invented the whole plot of a movie, already that sounds a bit to fantasy but you don't imagine since of faster the time happens to him thinking about it.
The principal history has more prominent figures but the principal ones are Mercury and his two friends: Shark and Piros.To Mercury it is difficult to him to unroll in complicated situations, the risk is in the habit of wanting to run, that the oders do not bother, but sometimes it is too much for.
Well, the history is very rare, and written many books of different categories, this personage this relaction with some books but there does not have much that to see sometimes.Though it does not come very much to the topic I have to say that I am charmed with reading and writing, I am charmed with the books of Expensive Ruiz Zafon, though I have just read myself a book that it calls " I'm never gonna be your hero " and me to tasted very much.

Nemo
Yesterday I sow
Nemo film. I am charmed with this movie, am very imagimativa and creative.
From the Academy Award(R)-winning creators of TOY STORY and MONSTERS, INC. (2001, Best Animated Short Film, FOR THE BIRDS), it's FINDING NEMO, a hilarious adventure where you'll meet colorful characters that take you into the breathtaking underwater world of Australia's Great Barrier Reef. Nemo, an adventurous young clownfish, is unexpectedly taken to a dentist's office aquarium. It's up to Marlin (Albert Brooks), his worrisome father, and Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), a friendly but forgetful regal blue tang fish, to make the epic journey to bring Nemo home. Their adventure.
