Did You Know? - Our Anthem/Drinking & Sex #1
Since we have this section still, I decided I'd post things from time to time that most people don't know.

If you didn't know, the tune of our national anthem is actually about excessive drinking and sex. The tune for the Star Spangled Banner was actually The Anacreontic Song. The Anacreontic society was one of entertainers/musicians/drinkers.



The song talks about drinking and "entwining" a lot, but here's a snippet.

Code:
And there, my good fellows, we'll learn to entwine,
The myrtle of Venus with Bacchus's vine.

I shouldn't exactly have to go into detail, but you can read what this guy says about the Rite of Bacchus:

They are talking about getting blackout drunk and having an orgy. Not quite as interested. Tongue

Possibly the funniest thing I've seen in a while.

Thank goodness that you're not interested. I might have had to go into hiding.
