Winston Churchill was very fond of Armenian brandy and drank a bottle of 50-degree brandy "Dvin" every day.

One day the prime minister discovered that Dvin had lost its former taste. He expressed his dissatisfaction to Stalin.

It turned out that the master Margar Sedrakyan, who was in charge of blending "Dvin", was exiled to Siberia. He was brought back, reinstated in the party. Churchill began to receive his favorite cognac again, and Sedrakyan was later awarded the title of Hero of Socialist Labor

"Lotus Feet" in China

According to ancient Chinese tradition, a bride must have a tiny foot. Girls with standard-sized feet are often ridiculed and not taken as brides. For this reason from the age of 4-5 girls' feet are tightly bandaged so that the feet simply do not grow, and for the next 10 years the future wives endure unbearable pain in the name of beauty.

The procedure deforms the foot, and by the age of 18 it does not grow longer than 10 centimeters. The Chinese provinces have an entire shoe industry for the occasion. The tradition is almost extinct (fortunately), but in remote conservative settlements the ritual is still performed.

The European Bible of 1813 says something interesting about chronology.

It says: "Whereupon we reckon that from Adam to Christ are 3974 years, 6 months and 10 days. And from the birth of Christ to this year 1814 years. Then the full sum and number of years from the beginning of the world to this year is 5788 years 6 months 10 days."
