So I bought a page-a-day calendar today for 99 cents. It's a "fact or crap" tear away and it's really pretty interesting. For January 1st it was:
"Cleopatra was fluent in five languages." FACT or CRAP?
CRAP: She was fluent in nine, including Egyptian, making her the only pharaoh in the 300-year Ptolemaic dynasty able to speak it (most other Ptolemaic leaders spoke Greek). Cleopatra was a highly intelligent ruler. In addition to using her persuasive powers for political gain, she wrote books, favored rare manuscripts, and hunted.
I don't know. I find these things pretty interesting. So I'm hoping to educate everyone every day with these random fact or crap stuff. I'm probably gonna forget... but oh well... at least I said I would try to.
Here's the one for today:
"Alfred Hitchcock's tombstone reads 'I'm in on a plot.'" FACT or CRAP
Answer tomorrow. Stay tuned.
