Silly Saturday Facts Collection No. 6

     Hello everybody and welcome back to another installment of Nations Made Fun! I'll be your host, Mr. Nations, your tour guide to the world! Today we'll be going over our sixth installment of Silly Saturday facts, so let's dive straight into it!
  • A pirate named Benjamin Hornigold once attacked a ship to steal all of the crew members' hats. They had lost all their own hats the previous night and decided to raid a ship for replacements.
  • In 1847, Robert Liston performed an amputation in twenty-five seconds. Unfortunately, he also amputated his assistant's fingers as well. Both later died of sepsis.
  • The Pentagon wasn't designed for any actual defense purpose. It was originally designed to fit nicely in the field between the five major roads surrounding it.
