Bloody Mary

You may think the term bloody Mary comes from a cocktail drink made with tomato juice and vodka but it actually comes from the First  English female Queen to have full regency of a male king,  Queen Mary Tudor or Queen Mary I.

The reason she got the nickname bloody Mary was because she had many of her protestant opponents put to death along with her cousin, Lady Jane Grey, the Queen Hand picked  by her brother before he died from tuberculosis and the Father of Jane Grey.  She tried very hard to return England into the Catholic realm until she passed away from suspected stomach cancer.

Biggest Train Crash

The Biggest Train disaster in the united kingdom wasn't reported because it happened during world war 1 and there was a curfew on news reporting that would expose our weaknesses to the enemy.

Four trains were involved, a signalman was leaving his shift and forgot to inform the replacement that there was a train waiting at the junction. Two trains eventually crashed into the train that was waiting and a 4th train that was waiting in a nearby railway layby was also hit by derailed train parts. It's like something out of Thomas the tank engine. 

The incident happened at Quintin'shill near Carlisle in 1915.

England Gregorian

England didn't embrace the Gregorian Calendar until the 17th century, over 100 years after it was invented by the Catholic church. 

This means throughout the Tudor Dynasty and before, they used the Julian calendar. New year was observed on the 25th of March and the dates were inaccurate by today's standards.

Privatisation of Space

NASA has been privatising space travel, they have been reaching out to private companies to make spaceships for them. 

They have so far given out two contracts, one to SpaceX and one to Boeing. The two companies make space vehicles that bring astronauts to the international space station. 

They believe that private companies would deliver space vehicles more efficiently and with a smaller budget. 

Recently the Boeing Star liner space capsule has had some serious faults and has been forced to return to earth without the astronauts.
