Here are my salt factoids:
- Roman soldiers were also paid in salt as well, giving us the root
for the word "salary"
- One April afternoon of 2001, a group of 8 friends and I went through
an entire shaker of salt doing Tequila shots at Nefertiti's Lounge at
the Luxor. The debate still ranges on whether we got kicked out for
our drunken invitations to passers-by to join us, or as a result of us
rather loudly referring to the place as "Nerfy Titty's" Lounge.
