Stonehenge was created as a gathering place for young adults and on a certain night of the year they would all go there, chose someone to have sex with, and bam! nine months later all them had kids. they liked to keep it organized. ;]

The mystery's been solved! Is that a legit piece of information, Mrs. Kaulitz, or are you pulling our legs?
No its real. It was on AOL News and that's what they found out from an archeological dig.

That's not technically what it was built for, there still is speculation..but that's what they did at one point.

A man during the civil was shot in the head
The bullet entered his helment went in a complete circle around and fell out of the same hole.
He did not die but just had a circular scar on his head

In the civil war a man was shot in the... err... family jewels... and the bullet continued on into a woman standing on a porch near the battle. The woman became pregnaut. After the battle the two met and were eventually married, and had 7 kids (including the first child). And according to a doctor in the nearby town none of the children looked as much like the father as the first.

I actually saw it on the show Mythbusters. They proved it could happen. (and it did historically)

lmfao
she was the goddess of the house
Them shaving their eyebrows off was simply because that's how they showed their respect for the dead and part of the mourning process. The cat brought good luck into their home and when it died it had to be treated with as much respect as possible for luck to continue in the house.

In ancient times, people used to be sexually attracted to foreheads. That's why the nuns headpiece thing covers the forehead.
And in ancient Greece, I think it was Greece anyways, it was normal for men to be homosexual. It was thought that real love could only occur between a man and another man, and the women were only used for babies and stuff.

Very true. XD
It was this whole young boy being the apprentice thing and having a relationship with his older master, y'know?
In Sparta, when a young boy had to get married, his wife would occasionally be dressed up as male so he would be more used to the change.

However, I'm not so sure about that fact.

I DO know that in Sparta the girls were trained to fight, as well. They had this whole idea that everyone needed to be physically fit.

I'd think that if they discovered the mystery of Stonehenge there'd be a lot more news coverage.

One of their reasonings for it was that if the two men fought alongside in battle, each one would try to impress their partner by killing more. Great logic those Greeks had Cute
