Fact of the day: It's Bacon day!! Well...sort of. It's philosopher, Francis Bacon's birthday. But instead of rambling on about his political scandals, let's discuss bacon (as in my favorite food).
"You are probably familiar with the phrase 'bring home the bacon.' In the twelfth century, a church in the English town of Dunmow promised a side of bacon to any married man who could swear before the congregation and God that he had not quarreled with his wife for a year and a day. A husband who could bring home the bacon was held in high esteem by the community for his forebearance." [source]
