| Nope. Actually, of the 150 who were tried as witches in the Salem witch-trials (which lasted two years, 1692-1693), only 20 were convicted. Six men and fourteen women – a 13% conviction rate. There was a seventh man, who died during judicial torture. None of those convicted were burned at the stake. They were all hung hanged [thanks Saffia]. Not that that probably gave a whole lot of comfort to the 20 people who were executed.
Got a news tip or a press-release? Send it to news@taterunino.net. Sep 19 2009 For several days in 64AD the Great Fire of Rome burned. Did Nero fiddle while Rome burned, then use the fire-cleared land to whip himself up a new palace? If that’s the case, then so should chicken and ground beef, both of which contain roughly the same levels of tryptophan weight-for-weight as turkey does, which isn’t really all that much. In fact, pork and (wait for it) cheese contain significantly more! Except that they aren’t. Roughly 70% of new business ventures fail, and that number isn’t astonishingly different for tech startups. Across the board, however (tech startups included), entrepreneurs in their 40’s have nearly twice the success rate of younger ones. | Support us...or use Flattr  | |||||||
