Fulcher of Chartres, chronicler of the first crusade, wanted to praise the virtuousness of the frankish knights and how they refrained from torturing or raping the captured women of the turks.
This is how he put it:

"And concerning the women that were found in the tents of the enemies, the Franks did them no harm but thrusting lances into their bellies."

This was the ceramonial helmet belonging to king Henry VIII, given to him by the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I. It's so fucking weird looking that the people who discovered it weren't really sure what its purpose was, and it was believed that it eventually found its way into the hands of Henry's royal Jester who used its bizarre appearance to spice up his routine.

It also has glasses bolted into it's forehead because Henry had fairly atrocious eyesight and horns because they seemed like a neat idea at the time.

Or he was not so subtly calling him a cuck, although that would not be terribly accurate in Henry's case.
 
When you tear apart the little paper flap of a self-sealing envelope, you can see a faint blue glimmer where it seperates from the unterlying piece of paper.
Poor quality, but you get what I'm talking about.
 
There exists a protein which got it's name from Sonic the Hedgehog after the scientist's daughter showed him a Sonic comic. The kicker? It can cause cancer :story:
 
In the late 1990s, Vince McMahon was planning on buying the Greek Isles casino in Las Vegas and turning it into a WWF themed casino hotel but Debbie Reynolds, who owned the casino, refused to sell it to him.

Edit: I also found some conflicting information that Vince actually bought Debbie Reynold's Hollywood Hotel after it went bankrupt, then sold the hotel off when it turned out to need millions of dollars of renovations.

Meet Lucky Diamond Rich

(Best pic I can find showing every part of his tattoo )

Born Gregory Paul McLaren, this street performer from New Zealand is the world's most tattooed man, at 100% coverage. That's right, every part of his skin, from the insides of the eyelids, between his toes, and even his foreskin. Right now, he is adding a white layer of tattoos to his black tattoos and a colored layer over his white. This means that Lucky is reaching beyond 100% body coverage.

There is a parasite that changes sexual preference, it makes rats sexually attracted to cat urine, which lures them to cats, which then eat the rats, which gives the parasite to the cat, making them, fuck if I know what it does then, which can spread to humans, which can make them gay.
Insert anti-gay joke here.

Remember the game over screen for Hong Kong 97?

The man in the picture is acutally dead. The man in the picture is supposedly Leszek Błażyński, a Polish boxer who competed in the in the 1972 and 1976 Olympics. On August 6, 1992, he committed suicide at the age of 43. The time stamp in the picture does say the date of his suicide, but some find discrepancy as since its in Poland, it should be using European date format, which means the stamp acutally reads June 8, 1992.

Dr. Gay Hitler is an actual person who lived in Ohio between the 19th and 20th century. He is also the son of George Washington Hitler.

In fact, his family even have a road and a pond named after them.

Also an interesting fact, Adolf Hitler's last should actually be "Hiedler". It is that way due to a possible misspelling.

Hitler actually should have been Adolf Shicklgruber, but 13 years before he was born, his grandfather acknowledged his bastard son, which is why we had Adolf Hitler. Not that that would have slowed him down, I'm sure he'd just do what Stalin did, and change his name. When you're a dictator, you can call yourself whatever you want. What are other people going to do about it?
 
Meet Rajneeshpuram, a former community in Wasco County, Oregon, meant for the followers of a new religion called the "Rajneesh" movement led by a man named Chandra Jain (a.k.a Rajneesh)

KHA62a12d_1983_festival_at_Rajneeshpuram.jpg

The movement taught a new form of meditation called "dynamic meditation", which encouraged followers to act out repressed emotions. This cathartic practice led people to scream, shake crazily, fight with other followers and openly perform sexual intercourse (something that was praised within the movement).

Rajneeshpuram had an influx of over 5,000 move into it, and along with it came a lot of money for Chandra, who asked that people give up all of their possessions before living there. With this, Chandra bought expensive watches, bracelets, and owned a whopping 93 Rolls Royce cars. In addition to Chandra's luxury was Rajneeshpuram's luxury of having it's own police force, whom owned an armoury of rifles, carbines, pistols and a squadron of scout helicopters.

Following the arrest of Rajneesh and his secretary and the news of a bioterror attack attempted by a group of Rajneesh's leading followers (which infected 751 people but luckily killed nobody), Rajneeshpuram's populace would become disillusioned with the movement and leave.

What was once Rajneeshpuram now belongs to a Christian youth camp as of 1996.
