Reading Fact

Fifty Shades of Grey started out as Twilight fan-fiction.


Originally titled Master of the Universe and published episodically on fan-fiction websites, the work featured characters named after Stephanie Meyer’s Bella Swan and Edward Cullen. E. L. James later rewrote the story and extended it into three parts: Fifty Shades of Grey, Fifty Shades Darker, and Fifty Shades Freed.


Fans of Twilight will notice some striking similarities between characters: both Christian and Edward are rich, possessive, and intense, while Anastasia and Bella – clumsy and completely dazzled by their partner. 


History Fact

In medieval England, the word “ask” was pronounced “axe”.

 

So I suppose you could say it makes sense that’s how they’d say it in Futurama if that’s how they said it in the past, right?


This pronunciation of the word was even featured in the first English translation of the Bible: “Axe and it shall be given.”
