Aren't encylopaedias brilliant?

Recommended Posts

It is always a bit slow surfing DZ.com at the weekends here... and there is very little work to do. I have just discovered an online encyclopaedia:

The Wikipedia

And I have surfed it from the Cathars through the Knights Templar and the Holy Grail to some stuff about the original assassins and the mongols...

I will be full of useless information by the morning! :)

Now there's an idea I find hard to resist... hmmm let me just find an attractive clean young woman here in this military camp...:o:P

Days to push... days to push.

But tell me, did you know this:

If a Mongol soldier was struck with an arrow, it penetrated the skin and sank into the flesh. However, the silk was not cut but pulled into the wound. Mongol doctors could easily pull an arrow from the wound, because it was wrapped in silken cloth. This reduced the chance of infection and made cleaning and dressing the wound easier, hopefully returning the skilled warrior to combat more quickly.

I mean, I knew that silk sheets prevented nasty friction burns but this is a whole new idea...:)

People that can spell encyclopedia are smart too.



I agree! That would be me then...

Oxford Dictionary

• noun a book or set of books giving information on many subjects or on many aspects of one subject, typically arranged alphabetically.

Don't spank me just because I don't conform to your modern shortened word language! :P:)
