Hello everybody and welcome back to another edition of Nations Made Fun! I’ll be your host, Mr. Nations, your tour guide to this massive world we all call home!
- Henry VIII of England had people who were called Grooms Of Stool, whose job it was to wipe his bottom. During his reign, he had four such people, all of whom were knighted.
- Between the 11th and 19th centuries, Buddhist monks in northern Japan practiced a kind of meditation in which they would mummify themselves alive by slowly weaning themselves off food and water before eventually starving to death.
