During the Second World War, a fake mockup of London was built in the Kent countryside with an intricate system of lights to confuse German bomber pilots during nighttime air raids. A recent excavation of the site of Shakespeare's former home in London turned up a number of clay pipes containing residue of cannabis resin or hashish. Every year, the mayor of London is given a dozen oxen as part of his annual pay packet. The livestock are usually donated to a charity of the mayor's choice or slaughtered.
