mmm, Salty.
Are you worth your salt? I used that expression today and started wondering what it meant. After a bit of digging, I learned that "the word salary evolved from the Latin word salarium, which meant 'money given to Roman soldiers to buy salt.'"
Thanks Cobblestone & Cricket, whoever you are.
