Wasn't that reputed to be a red hot spear/bar to boot? But yeah, it's as likely as that one king who drowned in a barrel if wine.

Edmund Ironside (who was a pre-Norman King of England) is supposed to have been stabbed by an assassin who was hiding in his toilet pit. Richard II is the one who was alleged to have been killed when a group of assassins stuck a red hot poker up his rear end while the one who was supposedly drowned in butt of wine was the Duke of Clarence, who was the brother of Edward IV.

Bottom line ninjas hide whereever the hell they please and stab you to death whereever the hell they please. Also ninjas have very strange preferences.

No, Edmund II, though the account is disputed.

Yeah the pic that started off this whole discussion was of Edmund II:

Here's the full illustration:

That's Edmund and Cnut engaging in single combat on the left, Eddie and Cnut kissing and making up in the middle and Eddie getting stabbed in the shitter over on the right

CNUT WINS
FATALITY

The story about how they decided to end the war by engaging in single combat rather than losing more men in huge battles is also probably apocryphal, with the historians who invented that story also writing in some sick burns that they allegedly laid on each other during the fight:

quote:

[The fight gave rise] to one memorable phrase: when their horses were slain and they became foot-soldiers, Cnut, who was slender, thin and tall, pressed Edmund, who was big and smooth - in other words, fairly stout - with such prowess and persistency of attack, that in a pause allowed for rest, Edmund stood panting heavily and drawing deep breaths; and in the hearing of the ring, Cnut said: 'Edmund, you breathe too short.' He blushed; but kept a modest silence, and at the next attack came down upon Cnut's helmet with such a stroke that he touched the ground with knee and hand; but Edmund stepped back and neither crushed the fallen foe nor harassed the down-struck; only avenging a word by a word, he retorted: 'Not too short, if I can bring so great a king off his feet.' The Danes accordingly, when they saw that Edmund had deferred to their lord in a conflict of such mighty issue, and that when victory was ready to his hand he had delayed his triumph, compelled the two by many prayers and tears to make a treaty.

You are the first crack in the sheer face of god. From you it will spread.

See, this is why I gently caress up everyone's names evenly at the start of a semester. I even tell the students before the first roll call, "I am going to butcher some names here, so I apologize in advance for what is about to happen."

Edit: Also, so apparently no one is going to mention how awesome and funny the name "Cnut" is?

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Nah, it's easy. You ask one of them if the other would say he is a good boy. If the one you asked says 'no' then the other dog is a good boy. If the one you ask says 'yes' the that one is a good boy.
