Special Days!Birthday Usualties

Hey, did you ever ask where comes the birthday cake usualty? Well, let’s find out!

The birthday cake has been an integral part of the birthday celebrations in western European countries since the middle of the 19th century, which extended to Western culture.

Certain rituals and traditions, such as singing of birthday songs, associated with birthday cakes are common to many Western cultures. The Western tradition of adding lit candles to the top of a birthday cake originates in 18th-century Germany. However,

the intertwining of cakes and birthday celebrations stretch back to the Ancient Romans.

The development of the birthday cake has followed the development of culinary and confectionery advancement. While throughout most of Western history, these elaborate cakes in general were the privilege of the wealthy, birthday cakes are nowadays common to most Western birthday celebrations. Around the world many variations on the birthday cake, or rather the birthday pastry or sweets, exist. (en.wikipedia.org/Birthday_cake, 30.04.2014 17:15)

Birthday Candles:People belive that the tradition of birthday

candles started with the Germans. In 1746, Count Ludwig Von Zinzindorf celebrated his birthday with an extravagant festival. And, of course, a cake and candles: “there was a Cake as large as any Oven could be found to bake it, and Holes made in the Cake according to the Years of the Person’s Age, every one having a Candle stuck into it, and one in the Middle.” (http://mentalfloss.com/article/54069/why-do-we-blow-out-candles-birthday-cakes, 30.04.2014 17:15)

The BedA man and a woman went to Las Vegas for their honeymoon

and they were staying in a flat at a hotel. When they got to their room they both detected a bad smell. The man called the front desk and asked to speak to the manager. He explained that the room smells very bad and he would like another apartment. Manager told the man that all were booked because it was a convention. He offered them for a meal at a restaurant of choice for lunch, and said that he was going to send a housekeeper to clean their room and get rid of the smell.

After a nice lunch the couple went back to the room. When they entered the smell was horrible. The man called the front desk again and told the manager that the room still smelled really bad. The manager told the man that will try to find an apartment in another hotel. He called every hotel in town, but every hotel was busy for the convention. The manager told the couple that they could not find any room, but they tried to clean the room again. The couple wanted to see the result so they said that they only give them two hours to clean and then they return .

When the couple left, the manager and all the housekeeping staff went to the flat to try to find what was making that bad smell. They looked around the flat and found nothing, so the housekeeper cleaned the carpet and cleaned the apartment again using the strongest cleaning products that they had.

The couple came back two hours later to find the room that still had an bad smell. The man was so angry at this point that he decided to find alone the cause of the smell. So he started to look into the apartment. He searched under the bed and he found a body of a woman. Behind him the man heard a hoarse breathing. When he turned around it was too late! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA…………. !

After a week the housekeeper discovered under the bed the couple, a man and a woman. Both seemed dead. She is coming close and close but she discovers the second man’s knife too late! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA……..... !
