Hard to think of this as a first. At the time, wagons like this were in very common use, by travelling artisans.
This might be the first recorded purely for leisure, but they were a common sight for various trades.

This is one used by travelling brush makers, which was a respected trade and way of life throughout the country by 1850. They would both live in it or rent rooms, depending on what was available.

This is pretty amazing. I've never heard of an adult human being eaten by a snake before, but it looks pretty genuine. And very sad too :

Raw carrots: delicious. Cooked carrots: disgusting. Cooked carrots in a carrot cake: delicious again.

Then you've been cooking them wrong. Steam some baby carrots until just tender, then add a little butter, garlic if you wish, and toasted sesame seeds. Delicious!

Simmer carrots, lid off, in a little cider or perry until just tender. Serve with butter and cracked black pepper.

The secret to cooked carrots is not overcooking them. Unless you are baking them.

When I was a wee one in Finland we used to roast carrots over coals on a stick, just like wieners.

Women in cities with hundreds of guys available have sex a year later than rural. Trailer park women have sex with first guy passing minimal requirements.

In a typical group of 50 African monkeys, there are more genetic variations than in the entire human race. This means that the entire human race is the descendant of a small group of people from prehistoric times. This scientific phenomenon is also referred to as a »bottleneck«. The phenomenon is probably the consequence/result of unfavourable weather conditions which lead to the death of most of the prehistoric people. The entire human race developed from a small group of survivors.

That explains the genetic retards that are conservatives.
