It's no secret that one can literally find everything he or she needs on the internet, whether it be ordering food, buying clothing, a car, or researching just about anything. With necessities long since covered there is an endless stream of excess information, pointless yet often funny, historically factual yet ridiculous. Where does it come from and why are we so eager to transmit so much unneeded information? Will we ever be able to absorb enough to keep up with the added amounts of useless information? I've decided, to play along with this and try a random word each week and see what I can find through simple search engine results. Feel free to join in and leave comments we'll post your results.
Today's word: Waffles
Wikipedia:
Medieval waffle law:In medieval Europe, vendors were permitted to sell their waffles outside of churches on saint's days and during other special relgious celebrations. Competition at the churches eventually became so heated, and at times violent, that King Charles IX of France imposed a regulation on waffle sales, requiring vendors to maintain a distance of at least "deux toises" (6 feet) from one another.
