 erkaer rated 4 months ago- Argh. In the XIX century, Bulgarian men used to vomit on top of their fellow heads as a greeting. Will you pay me for generating these 'facts'?

- From the page: "Louis XIV of France really was as an unpleasant a fellow as he's been depicted. In 1674, when he was visiting a school at Clermont, he heard from the school's authorities that one of the children, a nine- year-old Irish lad named Francis Seldon, had made a pun about the king's bald head.
Louis was furious. He had a secret warrant drawn up for the child's arrest, and young Seldon was thrown into solitary confinement in the Bastille. His parents, members of one of Europe's richest merchant families, were told simply that the child had disappeared. Days turned to months, months to years, and Louis himself passed away. But Francis spent sixty-nine years "in the hole" for making fun of the king's baldness."
Some of these "strange facts' still amaze me!

- From the page: "At age ninety, Peter Mustafic of Botovo, Yugoslavia, suddenly began speaking again after a silence of 40 years. The Yugoslavian news agency quoted him as saying, "I just didn't want to do military service, so I stopped speaking in 1920; then I got used to it.""

- Great, but I think they're wrong about "Ring around the Rosie." I heard that the "Rosie" part refers to a ring of red spots that show that you have the Black Plague.

A collection of odd facts.
"The coastal town of Picoaza, Ecuador, was in the midst of a listless election campaign when a foot deodorant manufacturer came out with the slogan
"Vote for any candidate, but if you want well-being and hygiene, vote for Pulvapies."
Then on the eve of the voting, a leaflet reading "For Mayor: Homorable Pulvapies" was widely distributed.
In one of the great embarrassments of democracy, the voters of Picoaza elected the foot powder by a clear majority; Pulvapies also ran well in outlying districts."

The question is: Could this happen in your country ??
I'm sure it could happen in Germany, if we didn't have these prefabricated lists where you only have to make an X inside one of the little circles behind the names.
