Mike Fuller Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I would love to be knowledgeable on a specific area or areas of scientific knowledge like you guys, but I love to chat, so for fun did you know that the German polymath Hildergard Von Bingen ( 1098 - 1179 ) believed that taking a bath in lettuces cured people from sexual desire. I don't believe that. However some of this remarkable woman's work in the field of medicine and plant healing is now considered to have more truth to it than once thought. I just thought 'WHAT THE HELL!!!' I'd enter something!!! Cheers - Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ophiolite Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I can see how bathing in lettuces would take your mind of a lot of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainPanic Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 ! Moderator Note I've moved this from Science News to The Lounge, because a comment about a person who lived about 900 years ago is not considered 'news', but may instead be considered 'olds'. On a sidenote, if swimming in a bath of lettuce would reduce sexual desires... shouldn't manatees be extinct by now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
