"Saved by the bell" originating from the graveyard makes an AWESOME story. It is however, not true. As many people who have fought in the ring know, it is a boxing term (coined in the 30s). Cheers.

I don't trust wiki ... You'll need a better source....
 Evidence for Dead Ringer basically defines Ringer, which is common knowledge and then attaches the writers idea of dead....

So while authenticity matters to us, I'm not sure it matters to our audiences? Depending on our persona, I'm not sure it should matter to us either? Are we entertainers or professors lecturing? I ask myself these questions over and over again with the answer being, it depends. Because of the plethora of dependencies, I won't even begin to try covering all the bases but in general, I think it more important to be entertaining, than accurate in my presentations. That's just me
No matter how many times you say the wrong thing, it will NEVER be right.
If I'm not responding to you? It's because you're a TROLL! |

About being burried alive. This is a great novel: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Golden_Egg
Don’t watch the related American movie, though. It has a happy end... (eh, and the book hasn’t) Cheers, Luc |
