The Roman's and Greek's invented a machine called the odometer, which has wheels like a chariot, with a box attached to the wheels. Inside the box is a 400 tooth cogwheel which rotates exactly 400 revelutions to 1 Roman mile.
There is a small dish at the top filled with round small pepples, and 1 pepple is released down a tube into a small metal box, everytime the cogwheel rotates 400 times.
All you do is count the number of pepples in the box, to work out how many Roman miles you have travelled. Everytime the wheels rotate once, the cogwheel inside the machine rotates once, so the wheels must rotate 400 times for the cogwheel to make one Roman mile rotation, and the mechanism inside knocks 1 pepple down the tube into the small box at the bottom of the machine.
It was the Roman's that invented the unit of 1 Roman mile, which we use to this day. That is 1.6 Kilometers to 1 mile, so that is 1600 meters to 1 Roman mile.
I went to the spiritual shop to buy some insense with my dog. There is a strange man who hangs around the shop, and pesters the customers. He talks in riddles, and I did'nt understand what he was saying. He is dirty looking, wears cycling shades, and has dryed sick and food all around his mouth and down his chin.
He walked up to me, and was saying stuff to me, I said am a magician, and he replied I don't care. He had pizza wrapped in paper, and he opened it and threw it deliberately, and scattered the pizza all over the pavement outside the shop, and he walked away along the street and pestered a women and man in the street.
I told the women in the shop about him pestering me, and she said, he hangs around the shop quite often. I said what does he buy. She said nothing, he comes in the shop and stares for a few minutes and leaves the shop. She said he gives her the creeps, and I said to her that he is a weirdo. I think he is disturbed, because his words are scambled.
My dog ate a piece of the pizza of the ground, I told my dog not to eat anymore. The strange man throw the paper all over the pavement, and stamped on it. He came back and walked back down the street. Some student man told me that he walked down the street.
Odd times he buys a lighter, but he stares all the time.
