Do you guys know where the phrase Saved by the bell came from? During the Victorian era, England has faced numerous outbreaks of infectious and deadly diseases. Madaming namamatay, and unfortunately, madami ding naililibing ng buhay. To avoid premature burial, they created security coffins. Tuwing naililibing ang isang tao, tinatalian ang wrists niya at may nakakabit ditong bell. Just in case na buhay pala ang taong nilibing, igagalaw niya lang ang kamay niya, magririrng yung bell then dadating na yung mga tao para hukayin siya at iligtas. Even the term dead ringer came from the safety coffins during that era. ;)
