The 1618 Defenestration of Prague was probably the most epically cool way of triggering a war in the history of mankind (30 years war - Some cats were sent to Slavata and Martinitz's place... It was kinda like Antwan Rockamora in Pulp Fiction only instead of a greenhouse, it was a big pile of horse shit) amirite?
I just love that there is word to describe the state of being ejected from a window. The poop was unfortunate for the ambassadors.
Apparently Catholics thought the ambassadors were saved by angels, and that there was no manure.
I had never heard that before
We were just talking about it in Euro yesterday.
As were we today!
Go AP Euro!
We've already past that, though. We're on the rise of absolutism in France, currently.
I started to read this but gave up about 10 words in...
Wow, Latin has served me so well. I had no idea what the fuck defenestration meant: And here I am complaining about knowing a dead language...
