Lie of the Day #952
June 16th, 2009 by FweebCheese graters were invented on medieval battlefields. A low-level knight noticed that old chainmail chafed his skin, causing him to lose fine strips of his skin. He realized that he could rub cheese against his armor and get similar strips of cheese that could be spread over his food. The idea took a while to catch on, though, because he never cleaned his chainmila and no one enjoys eating bloody cheese.
