During the Roman Empire, the calendar eventually went out synchronization with the moon.In 153 BC, the Roman Senate declared the January first would be the beginning of the New Year. Although this arbitrary date has neither astronomical nor agricultural significant. Today we still consider it to be the start of a New Year.

In India Hindus, they place shrines next to their beds so they will see beautiful object when they will open their eyes at the start of a New Year.
All about toilet paper
When we think of a toilet, we usually also think of toilet paper. many methods were used before toilet paper was invented. Many regions used leaves , ancient Romans used stick with sponge attached and Americans colonist used corncobs.
In the the 1700′s people realized that the daily newspaper was good for more than just reading, and in the late 1800′s the sears catalog ended up in many out houses. In 1879 the Scott brothers invented toilet paper that consisted of a single square of a very coarse paper similar to crepe paper. It was not until almost thirty years later that toilet paper appeared in rolls of soft, fluffy paper. During the 1970′s the United State experienced shortage of many items, such as gasoline and raisin. Famous talk show host Johnny Carson quipped, “You know whats disappearing from the supermarket shelves? Toilet paper. There’s an acute shortage of toilet paper in the United State.” That did it. The next day many of the 20 million viewers ran to the stores and brought all the toilet paper they could find. By noon, most stores were completely out. Although Carson explained on his next show that it had all been a joke and apologized, people still saw empty shelves in the stores and panicked. Scott Paper Company ran a video showing all their plants in full productions. It didn’t help. It took three weeks before the shelves wee restocked. the shortage was finally over, the only shortage in American history caused by the consumer.
