    39. History’s Deadliest Fart (The fart of war would have been better IMHO)

    History’s deadliest fart was let go around the time of Passover in 44 AD, in Jerusalem, not long after the death of King Herod Agrippa. As thousands of Jews gathered to partake in the Passover feast and festivities, a Roman soldier stationed above the temple turned around, bared his butt, mooned the crowd, and cut a fart.

    Understandably, the religious crowd below did not take kindly to the blasphemous insult in the temple. Rioting broke out, and the Romans rushed in soldiers to quell the disturbances. Things escalated, and by the time the dust settled, about 10,000 people lay dead...Click below for full story where
    Jewish historian Flavius Josephus left posterity an account of the lethal posterior emission...

    Listened to a podcast (Real Dictators?) a few weeks ago about him and it was mentioned. Didn't realise that he spoke mainly ancient Greek, as did all upper class Romans apparently, so all those Latin sayings he supposedly said, are in the wrong language. Also bald from his twenties apparently and demanded all pictures be photoshopped/painted with him having hair.

    Think it was on a series Mary Beard did on the history of Rome I heard about it or Great Commanders.
    Didn’t know that about the speaking Greek.

    It’s believed he spoke Latin, Greek and Gaulish, but the lazy ****er never bothered to learn English (possibly because it didn’t exist at the time).

    William Wragg has voluntarily given back the Tory whip.

    The Tories say he can keep the Tory ball gag, Tory dildo, and the Tory nipple clamps.
