What's your favorite history fact?
The Civil War started and ended in the same guys house.
quote:
The American Civil War famously involved the property of a single civilian, Wilmer McLean, whose house in Manassas, Virginia, was hit during the first major battle in 1861, and whose new parlor in Appomattox hosted General Robert E. Lee's surrender to General Ulysses S. Grant in 1865
Also, PGT Beauregard from LA was commandant at West Point who left to join the Confederacy while LSU's first President William T. Sherman left LA to head north.
ETA Soccurfut beat me by 4 minutes!

Clinton putting a cigar in Lewinsky's privates
There's a follow-up rumor or urban legend that Clinton then gave the cigar to Yassar Arafat. I don't know if that is true, but I like to think it is.

Afterwards McLean famously noted that the conflict started in his front yard and finished in his front parlor.

So if Arafat put it in his mouth then he was eating Jewish pussy by proxy.

The whole point of the kamikaze pilot was to save fuel from not having to fly back.
The fuel was worth more than the pilot and plane to the japs at wars end.
