Fact of the day

Divorce by combat!

Image Source: The Forgotten Files

Not all couples who tie the knot end up with a happily ever after. Thankfully, divorce is an option now, but back in the 13th century, couples took to mortal combat to resolve marital problems. They would pick up a bag of rocks and a club as a primitive kind of couples therapy… and sometimes, it led to fatal results.

WORD OF THE DAY

Acquiesce

To agree. For example, ‘He eventually acquiesced to all of her demands.’ Pronounced as AK-WEE-ES.

Quote of the day

'The human heart has a way of making itself large again even after it's been broken into a million pieces.'

— Robert James Waller
