Quote:Min, is there any historical event that are of the strange but true variety that had a major impact on history?

Nothing comes to mind.  I guess the problem is the term 'major impact.' There are lots of implausibles in history; like why didn't the Confederates march on Washington after First Bull Run.  But when you look a little more closely you find that they were almost as fucked up by winning as the union was by losing.  They weren't marching anywhere.



Quote:Do you know any good, salacious gossip about historical figures that most people don't know?

You mean like George Washington having mistresses?  I suspect that all powerful men had the vices which powerful men repeatedly show throughout history.  What makes it gossip?
