Depends Who You Ask

"We view things not only from different sides, but with different eyes; we have no wish to find them alike."
Blaise Pascal

The saying “it’s raining cats and dogs” comes from the 1500s

Reblogged from ohyeahfacts

ohyeahfacts:

Houses had thatched roofs - thick straw, piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the dogs, cats and other small animals (mice, rats, and bugs) lived in the roof.

When it rained it became slippery, and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof, hence the saying, “It’s raining cats and dogs.”

Hahahahaha I have to believe it was mostly cats, seeing as they’d have to get to the roof, which makes this so funny.
