An interesting tidbit about today:
friggatriskaidekaphobia (a fear of Friday the 13th). Yeah, people are actually afraid of Friday the 13th. It is believed that Christ was crucified on Friday. Some even think that Friday is the day God threw Adam and Eve out of the garden of Eden (unlikely because there was no such thing as "Friday"). 13 is believed to be unlucky because there were 13 people at the last supper. BUT for those of you who ARE afraid of Friday the 13th just pronounce friggatriskaidekaphobia and you'll be cured!

Wow... burned at the stake. What is that about anyway!? I seriously can think of few worse ways to go. Those were some seriously brutal times.
There is a really good James Patterson book set in those times. Love his books... good quick action packed reads.
