What's your favorite "History is Stranger than Fiction" moment from world history?
What's your favorite historical event that is so strange that most people would think you were making it up?


Mine would have to be the time Liechtenstein sent off its 80 man army in 1866 to fight in the Austro-Prussan War.  Zero casualties were suffered, and the army returned with 81 men after making a friend from Italy who would rather live in Liechtenstein.
In every country and every age, the priest had been hostile to Liberty.
