Tacky clothes


Did you know …

That when clothing was first invented (~1000 BCE), people fastened it to their bodies with small nails? It’s true! Or, if small nails weren’t available, they’d use larger nails!

It seems pretty crazy that they’d nail flaps of cloth to themselves just to cover up their disgusting holes and danglings, but I suppose it goes to show how much dumber were back then. It wasn’t until the 16th century, when John of Glogow perfected the stapler, that people started clothing themselves the way we do today.
