Weird Deaths

There's a Wikipedia article called "List of unusual deaths." Let's make fun of them. All of them. Most of them.

My favorite ancient death belongs to Mithridates the great. He was a king who had a mini empire around the Black Sea, but was also incredibly paranoid that he’s would be assassinated by poison. He proceeded to do what anyone else would do on hard times and ingested poison. Only small amounts at first but amp up the amount as he went along, eventually becoming immune to most poisons. When the Roman’s were conquering his land, he tried to go out with as much dignity as possible and tried to poison himself. The only issue was that he was immune so that didn’t work. So he had his friend stab him and he promptly kicked the bucket. Mithridates died as he lived, not dying from poison.

[@codysurfer8232]

What's also funny is that the reason he was so paranoid about poisoning is that his father died due to being poisoned, but the poison used to kill his father is one of the poisons people can't build an immunity to, so if he had tried to copy his dad it would've worked

[@X-SPONGED]

Reminds me of the guy that injects himself with snake venom everyday to slowly get more immune to deadly doses. He achieved this goal iirc

[@1D991]

Thanks for mentioning Mithridates~ He's one of my favourite Mediterranean Bronze-age rulers and I feel like he isn't galked about enough, even if we get the word "Mithridatism" from him (not a common word in the daily vernacular maybe, but videogames like Grounded still use it)

Pythagoras didn't hate beans; he had a moral objection to eating them. He thought they were humans and that eating them would be cannibalistic. (He also had his own cult of bloodthirsty devotees, you should totally do a video about him and what a fucking charismatic math sorcerer he was)

Draco's big deal was that one of his laws was that all the laws had to be posted in public where anyone could read them. Apparently nobody had thought of doing that before and the laws were mostly an oral tradition among the high class. Big problem for anyone else accused of breaking them since they literally couldn't know what the laws even were.

[@SofosProject]

That's probably part of why he was popular, at least among the lower class. I wonder if the whole secrecy thing was so that the elites would have an easy excuse to oppress plebs (not Plebes).

[@EchidnaKida]

Genius.

[@weenyhutjunior6058]

also he got the death wrong...The Suda chronicles a folkloric story of his death in the Aeginetan theatre:[3] in a traditional ancient Greek show of approval, his supporters "threw so many hats and shirts and cloaks on his head that he suffocated, and was buried in that same theatre".[4] The truth about his death is still unclear, but it is known that Draco was driven out of Athens by the Athenians to the neighbouring island of Aegina, where he spent the remainder of his life" . the whole coat thing seemed obviously BS.

[@Aragon1500]

@@weenyhutjunior6058 He did provide the disclaimer that some of this shit was made up he didn't even include my favorite ancient death rumor that Pyhrrus of Epirus was killed by some one throwing a roof tile on him

@@Aragon1500 well ya see that one makes sense. my uncles a roofer and getting hit with a roof tile could seriously injuire the ole noggin. Hes told me horror stories of people falling thru roofs and not making it afterwards. sad stuff.

[@X-SPONGED]

Qin Shi Huang also asked to be buried in a Tomb with a miniature of his empire with mercury rivers along with his terracotta soldiers to keep him safe in the afterlife. He was originally sold on the mercury idea by his royal advisors and doctors. The man asked for his tomb to be that way mostly because his mind is heavily poisoned by the mercury he constantly drunk everyday to live forever. Honestly, I blame the royal advisors for that one. Mostly because it's likely a plot to quicken his death so his second son could take the throne without too much of a hassle.

[@deityofcrystals]

The joke with the donkey is that figs were incredibly expensive so a donkey eating them would traditionally be a tragedy but he made a joke about it saying "get him some wine to wash em down" a modern day equivalent would be standing outside your mansion as it burned down looking to your butler and saying "well what are you waiting for get some logs for the fire"

[@TheResidence.mp4]

Excellent analogy! Thanks for help understanding

[@spugintrntl]

So now that I get the joke, I'm concluding that either Huggbees is really good at faking laughter or that is way funnier than I think it is.

[@batman4370]

[@Yellowredstone]

Okay that is pretty funny. I don't know if it's worth laughing to death over though.

[@armaslohemadu]

Simon the Zealot makes me think of the shop teacher from South Park back in the day. He lays down on the table saw and it starts pulling him towards the blade feet first, and suddenly he goes "Jesus christ, what was In thinking?" and gets up and turns around so he's going headfirst and goes "That would've hurt like hell"

[@sophiasoto9420]

Good thing he wasn't to late

[@brickdarg6750]

They pull the exact same kill in the first Terrifier film, except it's a girl hanging upside down

[@TheMedicatedArtist]

The way Simon the Zealot died is especially gruesome because being upside down causes the blood to pool downward, making the victim stay alive through a majority of the process.

One of the weirdest parts about Pythagoras was that he had enemies because Greeks had cults around stuff like math concepts. That hypotenuse part of Pythagorean theorem is the square root of 2 which is irrational, and there was a cult that believed that specific piece of information was heretical. Also ancient greece used beans for a lot of things. Especially vote tallies and iirc accounting shorthand (hence “bean-counter”)

Surprisingly the friend didn’t get charged with murder since it was clearly a freak accident, but he did get charged with petty theft for pocketing the cell phone and leaving what he thought was his buddy faking injury at the dining table the two of them were sitting at.

The Horrible Histories take on Heracletus said that he buried himself in Cow Dung up to his neck to cure his dropsy, but rather than being eaten by dogs he instead died of heatstroke. The idea behind the cow manure was the heat it gave off when still relatively fresh, he concept being that the heat would steam or boil off the excess water in his body that dropsy had given him.
