Dead Body Hijinks | Sam O'Nella | History Teacher Reacts

[@MrTerry]

What topic do you think Sam O'Nella would be perfect to cover?

[@Cheese_gm]

Probably random wars who were started over dumb stuff

[@attigator]

He did say that he want to cover both the Garfield and McKinley assassinations but only had time to cover Garfield. He should finish up the McKinley assassination video.

[@hloimbobthesecond]

Jack the Ripper.

[@CWHistory]

The Ruso-Japanese war

[@Shantari]

Different pseudosciences could be fun. Like phrenology. With that one, he could even get into a sidestory on the adventure of Haydn's missing head, involving a pair of phrenology enthusiasts.

[@DanGamingFan2406]

The story of Carl Tanzler is absolutely insane and disturbing. And the fact that a lot of people sympathized with him just goes to show how much the attitude of the general public can change in just 80 years or so.

[@waterbullstudios9195]

Yes, and in this case, it definitely changed for the better.

[@qelizabeth_i_5013]

I think another issue is that they weren’t told about the “intimacy” part

[@poppythedogofwonders]

I do feel sympathy for the man since it's quite clear that he was very mentally sick, I mean, from what Sam said he would talk to Elena's spirit often, which essentially meant he was speaking to a hallucination frequently which... not a thing that happens with a healthy mind. Doesn't excuse what he did though.

[@Razgriz85]

The band Subway to Sally did a song about him called Schwarze Seide.

The Necronomicon is a fictional grimoire featured in the works of H. P. Lovecraft and was dedicated to the lore and rituals of the Old Ones. It became so iconic that other writers began to use it in other works, including movies such as the Evil Dead series. It was inevitable that various writers over the years have written their own version of the Necronomicon and at least five versions are available on Audible. I’ve never read any in its entirety but have browsed through a couple over the years. The concept of a book like the Necronomicon works much better as the mysterious tome surrounded by misfortune as used by Lovecraft than as a real work. It’s the mystique surrounding the times that makes it so iconic.

[@jamescheddar4896]

and lovecraft based it off of theatrum chemicum brittanicum, which is an "alchemy" book that was banned in christian nations

*Something that I'm thinking and pondering now, thanks to Mr. Terry and Sam:* 1) Jeanne d'Arc (Joan of Arc) had visions as a kid and decided to jump into the Hundred Years' War, leading France's army against the English and the turncoat Burgundians. 2) Following another vision, she found the Sword of Saint Catherine - a longsword with five crosses etched into the blade - at the Church of Saint Catherine de Fierbois. 3) She carried the sword into many battles but never shed blood with it; the only times she struck someone with it was to swat prostitutes with it and drive them out of her camps. 4) Charles VII was crowned King of France, so she returned the Sword of Saint Catherine to the church where she had found it, then returned to battle. 5) She was betrayed in battle, captured by the Burgundians and handed off to the English who were still occupying parts of France. The Sword of Saint Catherine was not on her person. 6) After about a year in prison, she was burned at the stake on Bishop Pierre Cauchon's trumped-up charges of heresy and witchcraft in 1431. 7) The Church exonerated her of those trumped-up charges in 1456, Beatified her in 1909 and Canonized her into sainthood in 1920. So if the Sword of Saint Catherine wasn't really a saint's sword and a Class II Relic before Joan of Arc borrowed it (being named after the church in which it was found, _not_ because Saint Catherine de Fierbois herself had owned it), it is _now._ *So where is Saint Joan of Arc's sword **_now?_* 😯

[@True105]

This is a really good question actually

[@JustSomeRandomTony]

Probably chilling in a stone somewhere waiting for the fated chosen one but what do I know.

[@droidB1]

Most likely stolen considering the time period

[@BloodyBay]

@@droidB1 Stolen or not, it could very well still exist. So it would be good if we could find it. Imagine the "Catholic cred" that a church would earn if Joan of Arc's sword ended up in _their_ hands. They would have French Catholic pilgrims for _leagues!_ 😮

[@Demonslayre]

Uh.... its totally not the golden sword with 5 crosses in the hilt holding up a pin-up girl in my living room.

During Tanzler’s story, you can watch Mr. Terry age like 15 years during that last segment 😂

7:48 these are all from previous Sam videos, read from left to right and top to bottom: -the caveman trepanning from the preindustrial surgery episode -one of the colosseum events from the video about animals and ancient rome -tarrare eating a cat, from the Tarrare video -Giles Corey being crushed during the episode with the Salem Witch trials I'm surprised Mr. Terry didn't remember these, I thought he watched all these episodes?

Grew up Catholic in Omaha, NE, and I was told that within the altar at my church (St James), was the finger bone of St James.

[@BloodyBay]

The altar at our old Catholic church (in Florissant, MO) was said to contain a splinter from the Cross on which Jesus was crucified. There are probably so many chunks and splinters from the Cross in all the churches around the world that we could form an _entire forest_ from them! But hey, one more holy miracle, right? 😉

[@Jliske2]

I learned about and read the book "Flatland" while in college; one of my mathematician colleagues lent it to me. It's fascinating and intends to draw a parallel to dimensions beyond the ones in which we live.

[@willh4340]

I love Sam's videos, but he always breezes over everything so fast! Whether it's an original video, or a Sam reaction, I always appreciate you explaining some of these things a little more in depth! Granted, I forget it 3 hours later, but every once in a while, I'll randomly remember a little nugget, and cite things you say mo ths later, and inject it into a conversation. It makes me sound really smart! 🤣

Fun fact they actually had the necronomicon in my highschool library, and me not knowing any better cause i just remembered people talking about weird creepy stories in it check it out and brought it home, then got in trouble cause my sister brought it up out of the blue because she was getting yelled at for something, so to take the heat off herself she was like "well she brought a necronomicon into the house!" My dad was so mad, and i being a freshman in highschool was just like whyyy does it matter? Of course they made me return it the next day

[@ElonMuskrat1930]

Deader Bodies Even Hijinker is what he should’ve called it like in the thumb nail

[@ajjameson154]

That Past screen thing, the guy getting crushed by rocks (in the 4th pic) was the Salem witch trials (Giles Corey) ... and it was the only torture/death of the kind in those 'Trials'. They were trying to get him to admit he was a witch. Or tbh, he should have been charged as a warlock if anything, but i digress.

[@OptimusPhillip]

I believe the term they would've used was wizard. But that was just a matter of gendered language, they didn't make a distinction between witches and wizards beyond that.

[@thefightinggameplayer]

That top left image shown around 7:49, I wonder if that's an artistic license depiction of trepanning; a middle age "cure" for headaches. Although, a part of me wonders if Horrible Histories created that or if cavemen actually used stones to try to cure headaches.

[@wizardvozk5874]

That’s exactly what it is. Sam did a video on pre-industrial surgeries, trepanning being one of the topics

[@endernightblade1958]

7:45 ah, such classic moments. trepanning, the colosseum, Tarrare, and Giles Corey. good memories.

[@blitsriderfield4099]

Another fact about relics, they are an integral part of consecrating an alter. All alters in the catholic church have a relic inside. My church has a relic of St. Jean de Brebeuf, a missionary to the native tribes around Lake Huron. He also wrote a christmas carol that we sing every year at christmas because of this connection.

[@HeatherRider]

I went to the original video, and it was posted ~4y ago..! Glad to see that his old videos are still being reacted to these days. 🙂☺️

[@Shantari]

That bit about the pope who ordered the first crusade that found a relic reminded me of an Extra History series on the first crusade. I just looked through your videos, and it is yet to be one you have reacted to. I think you could have a lot of fun with that one since the crusade has loads of shenanigans, and they even include the people's crusade and a few sidetrips. Depending on how much you know about it already, you could probably comment on how they portray the different figures in charge, and the different motivations driving the events. And yes, the finding of the spear (bit) plays an interesting part.

I know people used to make wreaths and “jewelry” out of the hair of loved ones who have passed on, but if the family had the hair for some old lady to weave, why give it away? I know he tried to help her, gave her gifts, and paid for at least part of her funeral expenses, but c’mon fam, don’t give the man her hair. They handed it over without interrogating him. I heard of this story when I was a teenager, and it’s still gross. One queen refused to let her husband be buried for, what, like 8 months? Too long. And she’d look at him and be near him all the time. Very tragic, affected their kid(s), she lost her love and her mind. Y’all know the Copacabana? Great song. This queen reminds me of the song: “she lost her youth and she lost her Tony, now she’s LOST HER MIND! At the Copa- Copacabana~”

I have always wondered if how much of the Latin community (if any) were actually sympathetic to Tanzler. There is supposedly a Spanish legend called The Black Wedding were a man disinters his dead fiancé, takes her home, and "marries" her, but I kinda doubt this would have caused the Latin community to have any sympathy for Tanzler.

There really is no necronomicon. Its a book used as a literary device in H.P. Lovecraft stories for different purposes. You can buy a necronomicon but they are either a collection of H.P. Lovecraft stories or they are just hogwash that use the name which has now gotten popular from Lovecraft.

When I studied reliquaries in my art history class before I sent my professor a clip from the first season of "The Blackadder" where they are making fun of the selling or relics in the dark ages and prince Edmund has just been made the new archbishop of Canterbury and is getting a rundown of the relics they have and Percy is horrified about the slinging around of fake relics and is like I have a real relic right here a finger bone from our lord himself and baldrick is like huh I thought they only came in sets of ten... Which is the scene always think of when relics come up lol (Not sure you heard of Blackadder before, but it Stars Rowan Atkinson, and is a classic Britcom that you might get a kick out of especially if you like history stuff, each season is a different incarnation of Blackadder spanning from the middle ages to WWI.)

Flatland is a very interesting book exploring many mathematical concepts, mostly dimensions, in a very easy to understand way. However, you (Terry History) would find it interesting more for the sociology embedded in the telling of the story. For instance, all beings are geometric shapes, with the men being polygons and the women being line segments. Because the beings can be killed by being punctured, women are tightly controlled because it is so easy for a segment to puncture - hah, the men are not the total pricks in this story. Also there is a class system where the number of sides a man has determines his rank, with the very highest men being perfect circles. There is a whole lot else in the presumptions that make you go OMG; it's so over-the-top that you have to question whether it is a satire of 19th century public attitudes. There is also a sequel of sorts called Flatland Revisited which both expands on the mathematical pedagogy and addresses the sociology aspects of the original; it was written 100 or so years later. It is also worth a read, but do Flatland first. Both are really quick reads, although with some of the mathematical concepts, it helps to really contemplate the details.

I went to Catholic school, which was a wild ride in and of itself. Then went to a “Christian” school, aka a baptist school….some guy they brought in said he had a piece of the cross Christ was crucified on. Back then it seemed a bit ridiculous, but now it just seems beyond absolutely absurd for every reason under the sun. Kind of like when I traveled to Bangkok and the Tuk Tuk driver said he just wanted to stop at his friend’s clothing store just to say hello.. Yeah, we know what it is.

I think that guy is getting trepanning done in the first square of that 4 panel comic thing. That's when they used to drill a hole in someone's skull with a rock. The last one looks like Giles Corey being pressed at the Salem Witch Trials. Florida really is the worst state. It's shaped like a turd, probably smells like one too because most of it is a giant swamp, my ex-wife ran off there, pythons are the dominant species, every other episode of Forensic Files is in Florida and it's never someone just got shot in the face. It's always someone had acid thrown in their face and died slowly over the next two weeks because their neighbor didn't like the new bushes they put up. That's a true story. A chimp ate a woman's face there. Florida is the worst; that's why people made the "aww" noise when they heard this story instead of the "blarrrrrgh" noise. The Necronomicon is a fictional book of spells created by H.P. Lovecraft written by the Mad Arab Abdul Alhazred.
