We are back Woodchuck chuckers, just in time for some funny history. In honor of the election, we choose to ignore it completely and instead focus on some funny history moments.
Join the Twaddling Along crew as we dive headfirst into the absolute absurdity of the past, proving that humanity has always been a chaotic mess. First, we march into the Battle of Karánsebes, where an army managed to suffer thousands of casualties in a booze-fueled night of friendly fire without the enemy ever showing up. Then, we dig up the Cadaver Synod—the time a sitting Pope literally put a former Pope’s exhumed corpse on trial in full papal robes (and expected a proper defense). Finally, we crack open the cold, hard history of how Pepsi briefly became the 6th largest military power on Earth by trading soft drinks for Soviet warships.
Adjust your tinfoil hats, leave the headlines at the door, and let’s twaddle through history’s finest blunders!
