origin of sayingthe saying saved by the bell came from the fact in victorian times they often didnt diagnose people dead properly and actually got buried alive. because of this people were buried with a small bell.
this also coined the phrase graveyard shift, becuase somone has the task of sitting in a graveyard to listen for the bell some hours ofter the person was buried.
