For example...did u know that 'saved by the bell' comes from the olden days when they thought some1 was dead(even tho now a days we'd realise they were in a coma or something) they would bury them..but they were actually still alive. Some of the ppl's coffins who werent actually dead have scratchings on them from where the ppl have tried to get out.
The rich people (because they could afford it) attatched a piece of string to the 'dead' persons finger that went up to the ground and if they woke up and werent dead they could ring it....there fore being 'saved by the bell'. They had ppl watching the graves for the bell to ring....which is also where 'the graveyard shift' comes from....
do you know anymore??
