Have you heard of the Finnish sniper known as The White Death? Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???" 
Marta Becket was possibly nuts, but inspirational. Revitalized the Amaragosa opera house, including amazing murals, in Death Valley Junction CA (population 4) and performed there for 4 decades in the middle of nowhere often to no audience. She died in 2017.

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
The ultimate bad movie: In 2016, a British man crowdfunded a ten-hour film of paint drying in order to force the British Board of Film Classification to watch it. It was a protest against the BBFC requiring independent filmmakers pay £1000 per submission for their certificate.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
American conservative loudmouth Ben Shapiro once decried Georgia O'Keefe paintings because 'They don't look like anything.'

I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
There was that excess with Ben Shapiro last year when he said how wet vaginas are symptoms of the gynecological disease.
Quote:Shapiro and his wife are suggesting that a couple of black women writing about having an enticingly lubricated vaginas—great for penetrative sex—must have a gynecological ailment is really just telling on themselves. Congratulations, Shapiro, for letting us all know that a wet pussy is a foreign concept for both you and your wife.

Lots of people decorate their homes with shit sticks at this time of year.
The modern word ‘mistletoe’ derives from the Old English ‘mistiltan’ - ‘mistil’ meaning ‘dung’ and ‘tan’ meaning ‘twig’. After passing through the digestive system of a bird, mistletoe berries retain their stickiness, which glues them to whatever branch the bird happens to be resting on when it takes a poo. People were quick to notice the connection between bird shit and the growth of the plant. Boru

If Hermann Nitsch is any indication, Austria has the most hardcore arts scene on the planet. Seriously, when a mock crucifixion is the most normal part of your performance art piece, that’s pretty fucking metal. Fair warning: google his name at your own peril if you’re not willing to see performance art that probably has more gore (and real blood at that) in one piece than Quentin Tarantino has used throughout his entire filmography.

It was a protest against the BBFC requiring independent filmmakers pay £1000 per submission for their certificate. I seriously considered writing about it for Anglotopia. That said, I decided to run it by the boss. But I decided to pitch it as an April Fool's Day article, like I'd write the first paragraph treating it like a real movie, and then explain the joke when it was done. He nixed it. He's not a fan of April Fool's Day on the internet. Also, I'll be starting my fourth straight year covering the worst movies ever made for the Deep Hurting Project in the Last Movie You Watched thread in less than two weeks, and there's far worse than just HD wallpaper.

English playwright/critic (and whingy little bitch) John Dennis premiered his play Appius and Virginia in 1709, for which he invented a new machine for mimicking the sound of thunder. The piece was not a success and was shortly cancelled and replaced with a performance of Macbeth. Dennis attended the play, and was outraged to find that the Drury theatre was using his invention. He exclaimed, 'That is MY thunder, by God; the villains will play my thunder, but not my play!'
This is the origin of the idiom 'to steal one's thunder'. Boru
