Dear Tig,
"Quora" is a mixed bag, exhibiting widely divergent quality from one article to the next.
But it doesn't take long to uncover an interesting question with an equally interesting answer.
I was fascinated by the following Q&A which was emailed to me because a someone recently posted it in one of my "Quora Interest Groups":
Quora Question: "What Did Ancient Romans Eat For Dinner?"
Love
Alan
PS On the topic of "interesting information," I only recently learned about the tersorium in an NPR report. It fascinates me to note my personal reluctance to even mention this fundamental "hygienic" practice of (arguably) the greatest empire the world has ever seen. Of course, Jesus, King David and all the prophets had two-ply toilet paper. (How often do we self-censor matters-of-importance due to social pressure? And to what extent do such social pressures fly entirely below conscious radar?)
