What are some of the weirdest/funniest historical facts you know?

  When the Queen of England, Catherine of Valois, died in 1437, she was quickly buried in an airtight coffin. And when the lid accidentally slid off during repair works to the tomb over two centuries later, her mummified remains were revealed to the workers. Catherine, as it turns out, was unusually well-preserved. A beautiful woman in life, she remained a beautiful woman in death, her skin so well-kept her cheeks still blushed. People were fascinated by Catherine of Valois’ completely intact body. They could not believe it. Some saw it as some sort of special favor of God, or even as a sign of divinity. One man — the notorious philanderer and diarist Samuel Pepys — was particularly intrigued. He was a man of rather loose morals, a man no maid could ever save herself from. In fact his diaries are full of the most nasty things one could think of: "coming up suddenly, did find me imbracing the girl con [with] my hand sub [under] su [her] coats; and endeed I was with my main [hand]...

What was the most horrible thing you ever saw?

  My dying wife. I will never forget it. The wind‑wide open eyes… the pupils. When she was still able to speak, she already told me that giving birth to a child was nothing compared to the pain she had. But those final moments must have been many times worse. At that moment I didn’t know it, but the autopsy showed that her large intestine had ruptured. For a week, the nurses had pushed her to keep eating, even though she had no bowel movements at all. Officially she died from the poisoning caused by the ruptured colon. But I don’t believe it can be fatal that quickly (a few minutes). I think she literally died from the pain. Something you can only understand if you had seen her eyes. She couldn’t say anything anymore, but I could read everything in them. I sometimes hear people say… “I’m dying from the pain.” I don’t even know if that’s truly possible. But if anyone would know, it would be my late wife. Kitty. 1963–2002. RIP.

Which TV shows offer something unique that can't be found anywhere else?

  There's this show that's apparently only on Amazon Prime in the US. It's called Gunther's ER. The presenters speak with British accents, so I assume this is a show that also airs in the UK. This is an educational program about medicine. In practice, Dr. Gunther von Hagens recreates serious injuries on human bodies (fake or real corpses) to reveal what happens to our bodies in the event of attacks or accidents and show what rescuers, paramedics and doctors can do to preserve life. against time. I would say that for those who have the stomach it is a highly educational show. In fact, Dr. Gunther is known to UK viewers for performing a live autopsy in 2002 on one of the main TV channels, in Italy we know him as the guy who produced the show BodyWorlds with real corpses. During the broadcast you see scenes such as: An artery is drawn in the groin of a living naked man; a penis is seen hanging from a doctor's arm, uncensored. Fake blood is pumped into a corpse and th...

What are some things that will never change?

  Just came across a lovely painting from the year 1910. Entitled “Bicycle Race”, it was made by the French artist Albert Joseph Pénot. A voluptuous, scantily-clad lady with a shapely and plump derrière is chased by a group of men… The same things that would get a man going in the year 1910 are still every bit as effective to draw attention in the year 2024. We’re still, as a species, mere dogs running after a bone. The same deepseated biological drives control us, guide our minds, our eyes, and direct our life choices. Some of us think we’ve “evolved”, but just how foolish and naive is that? There’s even a term called “Rubenesque beauty” to describe the type of voluptuous ladies Belgian painter Peter Paul Rubens used to paint — he was notoriously into “fat bottom girls”, and this man lived in the late 1500s, early 1600… he would have dropped dead of a heart attack had he lived in today’s era and encountered Nicki Minaj or one of the Kardashians. He owes the fact that he lived t...

While watching a movie at the theater, what movie scene made the whole theater gasp?

  I saw “A Fish Called Wanda” in the theater when it came out in ’88. There’s a scene where Jamie Lee Curtis takes off her dress and stands for a few seconds facing the camera with just a black bra and panties on. The entire audience (men and women) loudly gasped at her unbelievably stunning body.

What is something movies always get wrong?

  you can see this thing happening on a fairly regular basis: Some dude shooting a gun inside a car. If you have ever been in a car with the windows closed and someone shuts the door just a little too fast you get that really uncomfortable pressure on your eardrums, dont you? Now imagine being in the same enclosed space and suddenly there is a big ball of quickly expanding gas also inside…. Yup, everybody in the car will be leaping out for a roadside barf in agony and with blood streaming out of their ears. Even with a window open, it is probably still going to be , well… extremely uncomfortable. Never shoot a gun inside a car. It will rip your eardrums apart in a probably irreparable way kids :-) EDIT: I never expected so many comments and views. so let me thank all of you for putting n your 2cents. Also thanks for the grammar and spelling corrections: I’m not a native speaker but keen to learn :-) Also I should have been clearer on the actual situation I’m referring to: a close...

What’s something you haven’t told anyone until today?

  Once I went to the beach with my college friends. I could not swim so I was sitting outside and watching the rest of the people playing in the water. Then a friend of mine came and grabbed me by the hand and pulled me away. Despite my refusal, he poured water on me and said don't swim, you can come here and sit. I then sat on the middle shore and started playing a little with those people. During all this, it came out of my mind that I am wearing a white top with only samiz under it. After a while my fate was something like this - When the rest of my friends later told me that everything was visible, which was like a loss of my life. Since that day, I have decided that no matter what happens, I will never wear white.

What's the craziest story you heard that turned out to be true?

  My girlfriend is a urologist, and one of her young female patients experienced severe pain when she had to pee. A cystoscopy revealed that there was a large polyp with a high degree of calcification in her urinary bladder, and it was almost certainly cancerous. So an operation was planned right away to remove the tumor from the patient’s bladder. When the patient was opened up though, something entirely different than was expected was found in her bladder: the tumor was not a tumor at all, but a foreign object . And the unidentified not-so flying object actually turned out to be an IUD — an intra-uterine contraceptive device — and this particular IUD had migrated from the womb to the bladder , meaning that it had somehow penetrated through both the uterine wall and bladder wall before it got stuck in the patient’s bladder. There, it calcified and became a tumor look-alike. Our immunity system hates foreign objects (such as piercings and the like), and through a process calle...

What are some examples of casting actors/actresses either too young or too old for their parts?

  While I’ve historically harped on modern war films for this sin, today I’ll choose Isabella of France in Braveheart. While modern war films might absurdly cast actors in their 30s, 40s and 50s to play characters in their late-teens to mid-20s, this one is a doozy. The real life Isabella was born on an unknown date in 1295. William Wallace, for those who don’t know, was executed in August, 1305. The simple math says she was between nine and ten years old when Wallace died. So casting a then 28 year old Sophie Marceau to play her is the absolute height of lunacy. Of course, we can’t place the blame for this on the casting department. The utterly fact-challenged screenplay includes Isabella as a character to begin with, even though she didn’t arrive in England until age twelve, two years after Wallace’s death. Worse still, the script clearly presents her as an adult throughout the film. The cherry on top of this cake of crud is that they’re placed in a romantic relationship in the...

What should you do if a kid kicks on the back of your airplane seat?

  This is the exact same thing that happened to my mom. One time my mom and I were travelling from Singapore to India, if I'm not wrong in a Tiger Airways flight. We were both sitting side to side, with me taking the window seat. We were trying to sleep peacefully. Key word: trying . And then shit happened. This demonic spawn of a child, according to my mom at least, started kicking on the back of her seat. At this point, I must tell you something. My mother has back injuries, for which she has been in and out of surgery. And then this kid - who wasn't really a kid actually, she was about 10 years old - was kicking on the exact same spot of her injury. What the hell? At first, my mom tried to be nice and turned around to ask the kid to stop. The kid stopped. For about 3 seconds. Then she started kicking again. My mom asked again, this time letting in some red, hot chilli into her tone. Did the "kid" listen? God no. After this happened a few more times, with me try...
