I have one: After Vladimir Lenin’s death in 1924 Josef Stalin’s first move to try and secure power for himself was volunteering to organise Lenin’s funeral and then intentionally gave Leon Trotsky the wrong date for the funeral. Trotsky didn’t show up for the funeral and this worsened his public image with the public thinking he was power greedy and didn’t give a shit about Lenin.

Stalin was full of those "jokes"... Once after the dinner of all that were in his government, he said that there was poison in the soup...According to the biographer, most were seriously scared, but soon ol' good devil said that he was only joking... this time...

Super interesting. Lenin was more charismatic type of leader, while Stalin won leadership through "under rug" struggle, basically the opposite. That affected his leadership focus, because he knew the potential threat his allies possesed so he initiated full-scale mass repressions campaign out of fear of meeting the same fate as his predecessor. That is why he was afraid of coup de tat so much he repressed whole soviet army and weakened it significantly, which backfired really bad in June 1941 when Soviet Union was invaded. Crazy cause-consequence chain.

A weird story you left out was of Violet Jessup. She was on the Olympic in 1910 when it collided with HMS Hawke. She was on the Titanic in 1912 when it struck the iceberg and sank and she survived. Finally she was on the Britannic when it struck a mine and sank during WW I. Again, she survived. She died in 1971 at the age of 84. I'm not sure if she was the luckiest or unluckiest woman in the world.

Off the top of my head, here’s another 5 you can add to the list: 26. In the ninth century, former Pope Formosus was put on trial by his successor, Stephen VI in the Basilica of Saint John for the crimes of perjury and having ascended to the Papal Throne illegally. The problem was that at the time of the trial, Formosus had already been dead for several months and Stephen had his corpse exhumed and put on display in what would be called the Cadaver Synod before sentencing him and throwing his body in Tiber where some claimed Formosus’ body began to perform miracles. Stephen’s successor would have the synod declared void and Formosus rehabilitated. 27. Vladimir the Great, Grand Prince of Kiev who converted to Orthodox Christianity and thus brought Russia and Eastern Europe into the Orthodox Church had actually been offering up the faith of his people to the highest bidder and while he almost converted to Islam, he eventually declined the emissaries of the Muslim World, citing the Kievan peoples love of alcohol as a reason for why Islam would not be an appropriate religion for them. 28. While King James VI of Scotland was remarkably tolerant for the time towards his Catholic subjects, especially when he would later become the King of England, he was nowhere near as tolerant towards those he believed practised witchcraft. Indeed, James was one of the most fierce persecutors of witches in Europe especially seen during the North Berwick Witch Trials. This persecution was caused by a storm that prevented James’ wife, Anne of Denmark, from crossing to Scotland, an event James believed was the work of witchcraft. In the ensuring trials, between seventy and two hundred people were accused of High Treason, including the Earl of Bothwell though how many people were executed remains unknown. 29. During the First Crusade, a group of zealous pilgrims became convinced that a goose was possessed by the Holy Spirit and would thereafter be their guide towards the Holy Land. The chronicle in which it’s mentioned doesn’t say whether their venture was successful but given what happened to Peter the Hermit’s peasant army when they tried to claim land for Christendom, one hopes that the goose led them to happier lands instead. 30. During his conquest of Scotland, my account’s namesake, Edward I, besieged Sterling Castle with the War Wolf, the largest trebuchet ever constructed and would be capable of levelling the castle, which the Scottish defenders knew which was why they yielded the castle to Edward… a surrender he refused as he was too anxious to try out the War Wolf for himself so he attacked the castle anyway and only after seeing the trebuchet in action did he accept their surrender.

Some honorable mentions include: 1) During WW2, Fanta was made due to the fact that the US banned exports going to Germany and as such, the head of Coca-Cola in Germany came up with a solution and mixed and mashed a bunch of leftover ingredients. When coming up with the name, the head told his team to "use their imagination," and one team member spoke up and said "Fanta" because imagination in German is Fantasie. 2) The man that was Diogenes. Poverty was his career and begged on the streets for a living and lived in a giant jar in an active marketplace. He was an active critic of Plato and used to disrupt Socrates lectures by eating and talking to Socrates' students. He also used to urinate on people and get off in public. Alexander the Great even wanted to meet the man and found him relaxing in the morning sunlight. When asked if there was anything he could do for him, Diogenes, being the Chad he was, only wanted Alexander to move out of the way so he could enjoy the sunlight. Alexander then said, "if I were not Alexander, then I should wish to be Diogenes." Diogenes then replied, "if I were not Diogenes, I'd still wish to be Diogenes." Alexander also found him looking through piles of bones to which Diogenes said; "I am looking for the bones of your father, however I can't distinguish from those of a slave." When was asked on how he would like to be buried, he simply said to throw his body outside the city walls and allow the wild animals to feast on it. 3) Before the infamous Mount Vesuvius eruption in 79AD, Pompeii was basically the sex paradise for Romans. After being rediscovered, archeologists found many erotic art and graffiti that was polar opposite in terms of writing to classical Latin. Some of the graffiti included phrases such as; "Weep, you girls. My penis has given you up. Now it penetrates men's behinds. Goodbye, wondrous femininity!" "I screwed the barmaid" "We have pissed in our beds. Host, I admit that we shouldn't have done this. If you ask: Why? There was no potty" "Apollinaris, the doctor of the emperor Titus, shat well here." 4) Louis III of France died at the age of 18 after being a little creep and chased after a girl on his horse. He then hit his head on the lintel of a door frame and fractured his skull. 5) In 1859, war between the US and the UK almost erupted after a tense showdown on the San Juan Islands after an American farmer shot and killed a pig that belonged to an Irish farmer who worked for the Hudson's Bay Company. The American wanted to give the Irishman $10 for compensation, but the Irishman wanted $1000. British authorities got involved, and so the American farmer and other American settlers asked for military protection. Things only escalated when General William Harney was assigned the situation and both sides increased military aide, when word got back to Washington and London, officials from both governments went over to the islands and deescalated things quickly and agreed for a joint military occupation until a final say in whether the islands belong to the US or British Colombia. Oversimplified made a good video on it and how much of an idiot Harney really was. 6) US President Zachary Taylor died after eating too many cherries and cold milk. There's not much to say for this, it's just a funny and interesting fact.

One of my favourite weird history stories is the mass panic hysteria that was apparently caused by a Halloween 1938 radio broadcast of the novel war of the worlds. A lot of Americans at the time supposedly turned on that specific channel about 12 minutes into the broadcast causing as it conflicted with another radio drama at the time. which then caused most people to miss the pre-show message saying it was fiction and because of how it was scripted listeners believed the invasion to be accurate. With some bombarding police stations with calls for help and others volunteering for the war against mars. I just find it funny that mass hysteria was potentially caused because people just forgot what was on. Also im also not 100% how bad the panic was cause i haven't really fact checked all that much i think i read somewhere media at the time may have made it a bigger thing then what it was, but i just find it funny that it happened. the first time i heared about it i thought to myself "that's the right level of stupid to be real"

Actually, there is truth to the panic that resulted from Orson Welles’ excellent reading from “War of the Worlds”. Both of my parents were college students when the radio broadcast occurred and they both witnessed students and others panicked. My parents were both avid readers and had read the book, so they recognized the section and calmed folks down. We today can’t grasp the power of radio back then.

@@DoratheMysterySnail-dw8ii I absolutely agree that there wasn’t the mass panic that was fanned by the media, but neither was it limited to just a few gullible folks. When I first read about Welles’ hoax and heard my parents’ account, I became fascinated and began asking other people I knew in my parents generation about it and almost all of them were either taken in ( albeit briefly) themselves or if they weren’t, they knew of others who did believe the broadcast. I’m not claiming this was a scientifically structured poll or anything of that ilk. It just confirmed that the story did indeed, have a frightening effect on many. I should add that the older folks I asked about the incident were from a variety of racial and socio-economic levels. Since my Dad was a graphic designer and my Mom was a sociologist, we had a very eclectic group of family friends.

Hitler didn't stay positive with Volkswagen though. He scammed VW into being a fake subscription appeal for Germans to pay toward earning a "People's Car." Instead, Hitler ripped off the subscribers and used the money raised to help fund his war effort. After WWII there was enough parts and molds leftover from the VW campaign for the English to get the idea to really build the car.

It is a bit of a myth the Groom of the Stool wiped the king’s backside. The Groom would help the king remove the necessary clothing items to perform the necessary function. I understand the that the bottom part of the clothing was tied in several places to the doublet, and help was needed to undo everything and put it back together. They handed the wipes to him, as well as the basin of water and towel to wash his hand. I don’t think they actually wiped the bottom, at least not when he was younger. He may have been too decrepit in the last few years.

6:04 - I was a firefighter/paramedic for 20 years in NE Florida. I used to have a “regular” that I got to know fairly well. He was a lovely old man who was blinded as a young boy (age 7) after he got into his grandfather’s Gin stash that had been poisoned by Prohee agents. Damn near killed him. Lucky (?) for him, the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind was less than 5 miles from his home so he was able to attend school and learned to adapt and went on to have a somewhat normal life. Prohibition never has and never will work, and particularly here in the US, it led to all manner of unintended, HORRIBLE consequences.

Incidentally, the townsfolk of Salem Village were so ashamed of what they had done once civility returned to the the town they changed the name of their town. The town that tourists flock to today is not where the incidents took place - that would be the present day town of Danvers.

When cut up and eaten off pewter plates, the acid tomatoes release lead from the pewter leading to lead poisoning. FYI.

The idea that tomatoes were poisonous wasn’t entirely daft. In those early days people used pewter plates and if you leave sliced tomatoes on a pewter plate the acid from the tomato juice can dissolve the glaze of the pewter and release lead which mixes with the tomato. If you consume those tomatoes you will, in fact, be poisoned.

You should do the 1964 Liverpool Leprechaun Scare, where thanks to a rather small (and rather sarky) park keeper, the children of Liverpool believed that the parks were infested with Leprechauns!
