Irish Workers In The 1500s Drank Ale Like Water

Beer was a staple of the Irish diet, as much as bread, according to new research. Masons hewing stone at a Dublin quarry in 1565 were allotted 12 to 14 pints of ale a day, when doing extreme labor.

Three men swear to be lifelong brothers, and die on the same day if they can.

historical-nonfiction:

Who were these men? And why would they swear such a gruesome pact?

Answer

This comes from the great Chinese classic, “The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.” Three men swear a brotherhood pact, in the hopes that united, they can defend the declining Han Dynasty. It doesn’t quite work…. but their names live on as the epitome of fraternal loyalty.
