25 Strange Facts From History You Probably Didn't Learn In School

We as human beings, well...we are strange creatures, we check the fridge again and again again even though we know that there is nothing there, our emotions cause us to leak water through our eyes, we hallucinate vividly when we go to sleep, and we sometimes even wonder what would happen if we punch someone mid conversation just because, well...we can. Yet we idolize historical people, we put them on a pedestal, glorify them, name buildings after them, towns, even states (Maryland, Penssylvania etc.), and we forget that....they were humans too, they did weird things, and had weird things happen to them. Don't believe me? Napoleon, the mighty war figure was attacked by rabbits, there was a war that had no deaths, and there was another war that lasted about half an hour. Want to know more? 

Here, have a laugh ;) American History in 3 minutes, a well done parody with some truths.
