Silly Saturday Facts Collection No. 12

     Hello everybody and welcome back to another edition of Nations Made Fun! I'll be your host, Mr. Naions, your tour guide to this massive, interesting world! Today we're going to be taking a look at another three facts for Silly Saturday. Today marks one dozen Silly Saturday fact collections and 36 facts! Well, what are we waiting for? Let's dive straight into it!
  • Napoleon wasn't actually all that short. Sure, he was 5' 6'', but that was pretty average for the time.
  • Servants in Egypt did actually fan pharaohs when they were required outside or when it was hot in the palace. But what most don't know was that servants also lathered themselves in honey to keep flies attracted to the, not the pharaohs.
  • Winston Churchill was certainly the big smoker! He smoked 8 to 10 cigars a day, sometimes up to 15 cigars a day! Cigars, not cigarettes.
