I'm considering posting a weekly humorous historical fact/story. But I figured I would gauge interest first so that I'm not just posting into a disinterested void.
Here is a free sample (not that the rest of it wouldn't be free, but... yeah.):
__________________________________________________________________________________
In the late 800s AD, there was this Viking leader named (impressively) Sigurd the Mighty. At one point he challenged a Pictish leader (with the much less impressive name of Mael Brigte the Bucktoothed. Remember that. It's important.) to a 40v40 battle to settle a quarrel. Mael Brigte agreed, and arrived on the appointed day.
However, Sigurd decided to pull what is known as a pro gamer move, and brought 80 men instead of 40.Needless to say, he was victorious. To celebrate the totally fair and well-earned victory, he beheaded Mael Brigte and hung the poor guy's head on the side of his saddle. Sigurd clearly hadn't read Proverbs 16:18...
On the ride home, Sigurd cut his calf on Mael Brigte's evidently outrageous front teeth. The cut subsequently became infected and Sigurd died. The end.
