Giving 'em the old razzle-dazzle
Convincing new recruits it's an ancient and honourable warrior tradition is probably an ancient and honourable warrior tradition though

e: Heavens, what a terrible snype. Content:

Joseph Lister, the 1st baron Lister and surgical pioneer, is famous to this day for championing antiseptic surgery, earning him public monuments in both London and a hospital named after him in Chelsea. He also managed to kill 3 people while operating on 1 person.

Joseph Lister, 1st Baron Lister (1827-1912), was the pioneer of antiseptic surgery. Robert Liston (1794-1847) was the first man to use ether anaesthetic in Europe, and was a famously fast surgeon in a time when speed was the best way to improve survival. The 300% mortality case may be apocryphal, especially as he was apparently rather abrasive, so when asked about his operations he didn’t say much and people just made up stories. He did punch Robert Knox for disrespectful treatment of a body used for dissection, and was a very successful charity surgeon so one can see why people might not have got on with him.

To continue pube talk:

There is a (now debunked) myth that if a fisherman wanted to have a good catch, he would add one of his wife's pubic hairs to the lure. Something something female pheromones something something.

This has largely been discredited, so don't use your pubes for fishing ladies, save them for ancient and noble warriors.

I’m posting between stops on the Underground so can’t check, but I think performing surgery in an antiseptic environment (Lister’s method involved carbolic acid washes) was called “Listeric surgery” sometimes early on, so the word “Lister” became synonymous with hygiene through chemicals. The burns from carbolic acid on open wounds prompted modern aseptic surgery, where the operating area, surgeons, instruments, and patient are thoroughly cleaned before the first incision.

I wonder what the first instance of pranking a rookie by sending him on a bullshit errand or making up a fake tradition to make him look stupid was like.

Pretty much. And historians did this a lot. One historian wrote about how Claudius' wife would go to brothels and hold contests about how many men she could service.

A story from Byzantium that's supposedly true is that Harald Hardråde, leader of the varangaian guard, had a crush on empress Zoe and once asked for one of her pubes.

I recognized that name and thought surely it isn't the harald hardrade but I forgot just how much the vikings got around.

Legit, apparently, ladies of the evening back in the old west would douche with carbolic acid so this is an improvement? I guess?

Also, per InediblePenguin's post, carbolic had the two-for-one bonus of being a reproductive toxin, in addition to straight up obliterating all living cells it contacted.

Maybe Harald's Greek wasn't that good and he was just asking for a lock of regular hair and misspoke.


I have no idea what the Greek for pubes is but Ive heard they don't really differentiate between toes and fingers and use the same word for both. Perhaps the same is true of hair and pubes.

After his brother, Olaf the Holy, were killed in battle he spent some years in exile. He first went to Rus where the king, Yaroslav the Wise, advised him to make some money. He then went to Byzantine, spent some years as a guard and then robbed the emperor blind (both metaphorically and literally) before becoming the last viking king of Norway.
