Were there tourists in ancient times?

What did he specifically advocate? I know it's a little controversial just how badly Chamberlain bungled things (or didn't), but I'm curious if Churchill called for rearmament or actual military action against Nazi Germany when they seized half of Czechoslovakia, or reoccupied the Rhineland, or even annexed Austria.

So, I see a lot of claims saying that the broomstick myth comes from women basically painting broomsticks with hallucinogens and then using the stick to deliver the substance via vaginal absorption. True? False? Somewhat?

Thanks!

I think that Napoleon helped France but did he benefit other countries? -chugim

I'm thinking in terms of land values being a temptation, but any other reason would be interesting to hear as well.

I'm writing an essay on feminism and gender stereotypes and was wondering if anyone knows when gossiping became feminine?

Is there any old literature that refers to women and gossiping?

Thank you!

Traffic is a pain.

Were there traffic jams before automobiles? Did horse carts line up and get stuck on the road after an accident? Any record of people complaining about such a thing?

NB: Not typing this while stuck in traffic.

Really curious how physical transportation of taxes collected and/or grains used as tax payment were transported to Rome. What sort of vehicle was used, number of troops used to guard and if there were any robberies along the way?

I'm not trying to bash Christianity at all but i'm just curious. When did they begin manufacturing needles with eyes in them?

I don't necessarily mean to vehemently or aggressively rally against them, but would simply refusing membership and critiquing the Klan in social situations cause your family issues? Was there enough political diversity in the American South that the KKK and its members would accept civil opposition and criticism?

Why in the last 400 years or so has it become inevitable that governments will always maintain high levels of national debt regardless of the economic performance of the country in question?

I am looking into the crusades, and was thinking as to whether this might have been possible. I'm sure the men didn't go away from their wives for that long without having some form of interaction with women, but would there have been love involved? If so, what would happen when they left, would it have been possible for a Muslim woman to come back to England with the knight, and if so what kind of reception would she have received? Equally, would it have been possible for the knight to have stayed? And more importantly, is there any evidence to show that this did happen? Any further reading, primary or secondary sources, would be greatly appreciated, either on this exact topic or on the crusades more generally. (Sorry for the multitude of questions within one!) Thanks in advance.

Think Django Unchained - where the slaves revolted and got away with it.

I have just finished both Uncle Toms Cabin and 12 Years a Slave. I need a pick me up.
