The Holy Roman Emperor Frederick I drowned after riding into a Turkish River and heavy battle armor during the Crusades- instead of waiting to cross a nearby bridge, which was full of soldiers. Wash me! It is illegal to drive a dirty car in Belarus. During the 1905 US college football season, 18 players were killed on the field and 150 were seriously injured.

Football? was winning all that mattered? OH! the good ole days! Instead of highschool football we should train the boys for warfare because that is what we are all about now, and without a declaration of war! Peace is just so boring!

And if Frederick I hadn’t drowned, he would have rusted like the Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz, and gotten shot full of arrows or speared up like shish-ka-bob.
