YES! My pleasure. All I did was point people to where they could find some great history content.

A couple of weeks before his assassination on the 15th of March 44BC, Julius Caesar spent an evening with a couple of his soon to be assassins, and they chatted long into the evening. At one point, the conversation turned philosophical and Decimus Junius Brutus posed the question "what is the best way to die?" Caesar responded with "suddenly, and unexpectedly". You can imagine the unease in the room.

The dog "disarming" a bomb by peeing on it is just epic. I can imagine a dog not knowing wtf was actually going on strolling up to a whole bomb and lifting their leg. 😂😂

In a single High School Football game, Al Bundy scored 4 touchdowns.

I’ve always found it interesting that Mark Twain and Ulysses S. Grant we’re good friends

#17 Related to this- a Finnish soldier, Aimo Koivunen, once consumed his patrol's entire supply of pervitin when surrounded by Soviets, in order to get enough energy to ski to safety. As a result of the delirium he got lost and went missing for an entire week.

One of my most favorite, random history facts I’ve learned was that the prototype for the first modern safety pin was invented on accident. The guy was in trying to invent a better gun lock.

The burlap sack story is incorrect. The american feed and flour sacks were made from a cheap but sturdy grade of woven cotton. The pretty floral prints are well documented and much of the fabric ( similar to modern quilting cotton ) and unused bags, quilts, and garments, still exist

[stevenbrennan]

Thoroughly enjoyed this one. I will look like the smartest historian in the boozer tommorow night with my new found knowledge, thanks to Decades. In Arthur Morgans voice beside his dying horse "Thank you"

[davidhatch]

The cigarette lighter was invented and used well before matches were.

No. 12: Banning the mention of Genghis Khan seemed a bit random. Apparently was out of fear Mongolian's deifying him and potentially leading to an immediate neighbour becoming nationallist?

No. 18: You want some Freedom Fries with your Liberty Steak? 🤣

No. 22. Well that sure is coincidental timing 👀👀

No. 23: I assume that maybe relate to wearing armour, you may think they're ready for battle/a fight so could be seen as threatening? (or I'm just having Red Wedding flashbacks lol). Why it would still be a thing is they just probably thought about it (and the legal process can be slow)

No. 25: So much for the "native" english then, eh?

[TheCamoruneGaming]

Stalin has lots of interesting facts about him. From almost becoming a Monk and going to monastery school for a few years, to his love of John Ford western movies.

[MrKippo]

Didnt expect the New Romney Railway to be on this list, amazing that Kents Culture is being noticed.
