) Stories of the mythical Camelot, the location in England of King Arthur’s court, depict a world of dashing knights in shining armor and beautiful damsels in distress. (2) In actuality, the real world of that time probably consisted of smelly men in rusty tin suits and damsels in a certain kind of distress—the distress of being constantly pregnant and of having no rights in a male-dominated society. (3) Those same stories often glorified the brave men who fought to the death for king and country. (4) However, most battle fatalities of the time resulted from medieval medicine. (5) Letting the “bad blood” out of a sick person was a common medical practice, and cleanliness was not. (6) Other stories of the fabled Camelot housed royalty in glittering palaces, clothed them in silks, and covered them in mystery and awe. (7) But what is awesome about living in a cold, stone, rat-infested fortress with poor ventilation? (8) As for silks, war-indebted kings could rarely afford such foreign commodities. (9) Wool from home usually did the trick. (10) And there’s certainly nothing silky about the discomfort caused by coarse woolen undergarments. (11) It is obvious that the Camelot myth ignores the harsh realities of life in the Middle Ages in favor of a fantastic, unrealistic view of history.

BRITAIN'S MOST DANGEROUS BISCUIT

Sitting down with a cup of tea and a biscuit is great British tradition. Perhaps you think this is a harmless activity - but you are wrong. It can be dangerous. A study revealed that every year about five hundred people end up in a British hospital after an accident involving a biscuit. How on Earth do they do it?

Some people fall off their chairs even before they sit down to have tea. How? They stand on the chairs to reach the biscuit tin, and you can guess what happens next. Others are hit in the eye by bits of biscuit flying through the air, and a few hit themselves in the eye with a biscuit. Quite a lot dip their biscuits in hot tea, then burn their mouths - or, if the biscuit breaks in the tea, they burn their fingers. Some people choke, and some break teeth. Some are even bitten (not by the biscuits - but by their pets!).

Most of these accidents sound unlikely, but they are all true. However, none of them is as weird as the following one. A man had to be rescued after he tried to pick up a biscuit he had dropped in the street. It had landed in some wet concrete and… perhaps you can guess what happened next.

That, surely, is the most extraordinary biscuit-related accident ever.
