DID YOU KNOW..?? IF NOT THEN NOW YOU KNOW..!!🙃 PART 5 SAFETY COFFINS 》Cholera outbreaks, and bacterial infections causing severe diarrhea and dehydration, were prevalent in the 18th and 19th centuries. They left not only the communities it impacted very ill. But also very fearful of being buried alive. It was during this time clever feats of engineering sought to comfort the panicked population. One such invention was the safety coffin. The safety coffin provided its occupants the ability to escape from their newly found entrapment and alert others above ground that they were indeed still alive. Many safety coffins included comfortable cotton padding, feeding tubes, intricate systems of cords attached to bells, and escape hatches. Unfortunately, most neglected methods for providing air. An account from 1791 explains the death of a man from Manchester, Robert Robinson, and a prototype of a safety coffin. He was laid to rest in a mausoleum fitted with a special door that could be opened from the outside by the watchman on duty. Inside Robinson's coffin was a removable glass panel. Before his death, Robinson had instructed his family to periodically check on the glass inserted in the coffin. If the pane of glass had indications of condensation from his breath, he was to be removed immediately. However, the first true recorded safety coffin was for Duke Ferdinand of Brunswick before his death in 1792. The coffin included an air tube, a lock to the coffin lid that corresponded with keys he kept in his pocket, and a window to allow light in. 1892 saw the rise of the bell system, created by Dr. Johann Gottfried Taberger. Bells housed above ground are connected to strings attached to the body's head, hands, and feet. If the bell rang, the cemetery watchman would insert a tube into the coffin and pump air using bellows until the person could be safely evacuated from their grave. However, due to the process of natural decay, a swelling corpse could activate the bell system leading to false beliefs those buried inside were alive. Despite its popular use, there is no record of a safety coffin saving anyone. Many of the old burial customs from history resurfaced as fables and idioms we use currently. Some experts believe the idiom 'saved by the bell' originated from the use of safety coffins.

DID YOU KNOW..?? IF NOT THEN NOW YOU KNOW..!!🙃 PART 6 RAIN OF FISH 》Every year for the past 100 years or so, the little city of Yoro, Honduras, has experienced some very strange weather. Typically occurring in May or June, "lluvia de peces" or "rain of fish" is an annual weather event in which hundreds of fish rain from the sky onto the city's streets in the wake of severe thunderstorms. "Fish rain" or "animal rain," as the phenomenon is commonly known, has been reported around the world for centuries. But scientific explanations for why the phenomenon occurs are few and far between. One hypothesis suggests that a fish rain such as lluvia de peces originates with waterspouts, which are tornadoes that move over water, sucking up small creatures living below the surface, usually fish and frogs, and depositing them elsewhere. However, waterspouts are not known to carry their aquatic cargo at great distances; this doesn't help explain Yoro's fishy weather, because the fish that end up stranded there are not indigenous to local rivers or streams. If the waterspout theory were correct, then Yoro's fish would have to come from the next-closest body of water, the Atlantic Ocean, that's about 125 miles (200 kilometers) away. Local legend has it that the lluvia de peces event is actually a blessing bestowed upon the people of Yoro by Father Jose Manuel Subirana, a Spanish missionary who visited the area in the 1860s and prayed for the region's poor and hungry, asking God to provide them with food. Perhaps the most likely theory to explain the lluvia de peces phenomenon is the one proposed by a team of National Geographic scientists, who witnessed this bizarre event while on assignment in Yoro in the 1970s. After noting that the washed-up fish were completely blind, the scientists concluded that the Yoro fish don't actually fall from the sky. Instead, the heavy rains preceding their appearance probably force these subterranean fish above ground. While this theory of the lluvia de peces makes the most sense, it's also the least romantic and is therefore largely ignored.
