Another fact of mine is that I can fluently read and recreate Middle English. Comes with the territory of being a Medievalist!

If you don't know what on earth Middle English is, perhaps this translation of a rather well-known text may help:

that's pretty cool, sir @, so now, not only you have my fear but also my admiration (especially for being so young and interested in things like that). That's fascinating actually and something I've always wanted to learn.

As I can barely manage the modern English, I don't think I should give a try in the me old version, but that's definitely pretty cool.

3. Interested in China history, specifically the 3 Kingdom era.

A friend of mine's an expert on that topic. He even gave a presentation in our English class about it which most of the other students didn't follow as they had fallen asleep at some point, lol.

:clap: Now, that's something I don't mind listening to. :D And if I was your friend, I would just throw the thick history book onto those sleeping heads table!

What do you mean by this? I ask because it reminds me of how I feel like I'm drowning when I try to wash my hair while in the shower but not when anywhere else.

When I was young, I took a few swimming classes and was able to swim then with no problem. But now, whenever I get onto the pool, I can't breathe properly. Feels as though 1 half of my lungs has been blocked.

Just remembered something else. It seems pretty much everyone in Brazil can whistle but I never could :cry:

It could be worse, though. I've known people who couldn't snap their fingers or wink.

I can touch my wrist with my all fingers of the same hand.

*Everyone tries it*

Come at me bro.

And i can swim. :D

That's impossible :o

  1. can't whistle - check
  2. can't snap fingers (left hand) - check
  3. can't wink - check

Come on, winking is very very easy. I can't believe you can't do it :P

And I snap my fingers better with my left hand even though I'm right-handed.

I can't snap. My version of "snapping" involves my ring finger and thumb instead of my middle finger and thumb. If you're more than a few feet away from me you can't hear my "snaps."

Surprised at the number of fellow history nerds here, awesome!

I am massively interested in renaissance period history & the Habsburgs, I am doing law at uni after my gap year but am hoping to study some history later on (I just finished history at A level).

I can swim, btw.
