The place was finally opened to the general public under Elizabeth I. The entrance was half-pence, but was free if you brought a cat or a dog.⁠ ⁠ Source (short url): factourism.com/source/pet-ticket⁠ ⁠ #factourism #facts #fact #factsdaily #dailyfacts #interestingfacts #instafacts #amazingfact #truefacts #worldfacts #coolfacts #allfacts #factoftheday #factsoflife #funfacts #didyouknow #illo #illustration #illustrators #vectorillustration #drawing #animalplanet #menagerie #londonist #petsoftheday #carnivores #toweroflondon #zoo #foodchain #freeadmission

⁠In Singapore, connecting to someone else’s Wi-Fi is illegal and can be punished with up to 3 years of imprisonment⁠ ⁠⁠ Singapore is very serious about “piggybacking”, the use of a computer network without the knowledge of its owner. Under its Computer Misuse and Cybersecurity Act, an offender can get punished with a fine up to 10,000 Singapore dollars (about 6,500 €), up to 3 years of prison, or both. The first person to be sentenced was a 17-year-old boy who connected to the neighbour’s. He got 9 months of community service at an orphanage and 9 months of having to stay indoors during the night, and was prohibited from using the Internet for 18 months.⁠ ⁠ #factourism #facts #fact #factsdaily #dailyfacts #interestingfacts #instafacts #amazingfact #truefacts #worldfacts #coolfacts #allfacts #factoftheday #factsoflife #funfacts #didyouknow #illo #illustration #illustrators #vectorillustration #drawing #piggybacking #freewifi #wifi #stealingwifi #singapore #singaporelife #singaporeinsiders

Ketchup was sold as medicine in the 1830s⠀ ⠀ {Weekend Repost}⠀ A very old sauce, ketchup dates back from antiquity, when it was made from guts in Asia. Later, in the 16th century, the recipe had evolved into being an anchovies-based sauce, and was introduced by Chinese sailors to British settlers. Back to Britain, it was successively recreated using beer, then walnuts, then mushrooms. Tomatoes arrived in Europe around the same time, but were thoughts as poisonous. It is finally in the ninety centuries that tomato ketchup was introduced. Dr. John Cook Bennett, a physician from Ohio, considered it as a good treatment for digestive problems. It was even made into pills.⠀ ⠀ Source (short url): factourism.com/source/ketchup-medicine⠀ ⠀ #factourism #facts #fact #factsdaily #dailyfacts #interestingfacts #instafacts #amazingfact #truefacts #worldfacts #coolfacts #allfacts #factoftheday #factsoflife #funfacts #didyouknow #illo #illustration #illustrators #vectorillustration #drawing #heinzketchup #ketchupandmustard #ketchuplover #tomatoketchup #tomatosauce #tomato🍅 #tomatolove #plantmedicine #ancientmedicine
