User avatar #128 - BrianStorm (12/08/2009) [-]
That was good. Wait a second. You were teaching me something. AHHHHHH
#125 - anonymous (12/08/2009) [-]
Give this and every picture below it the thumbs up. We have to knock the unfunny shit off the #1 spot.
#124 - anonymous (12/08/2009) [-]
The last one is 100% true, I learned about it in Social Studies in 7th grade. Some of those were pretty iffy. Such as the "wake" and "raining cats and dogs", but very cool nonetheless.
#126 to #124 - anonymous (12/08/2009) [-]
the wake and the cats and dogs are completely true but the problem is

"WOW i go to funny junk looking for funny and find history facts -_-"
User avatar #118 - freedomfromlife **User deleted account** (12/08/2009) [-]
Quite a few of these aren't exactly true, but some of them are based on real facts, lawl. So while not being completely true, it is just still speculation and theories that support it, so for all we know this could 100% true or 100% false.
#120 to #118 - anonymous (12/08/2009) [-]
they're not really based on facts thought...just mistaken/made up misinterpretations of old stuff. We do know this already (even Snopes has it, fer cryin' out loud)....so yeah...100% false, m'dear.
#121 to #120 - anonymous (12/08/2009) [-]
You know, 92% of people will believe anything you say if you include a percent in it...
#129 to #121 - ibrokedmycookie (12/16/2009) [-]

#127 to #121 - anonymous (12/08/2009) [-]

#115 - anonymous (12/08/2009) [-]
I ALREADY KNEW THAT
User avatar #112 - cougarmelon (12/08/2009) [-]
lol am i the only one that has never heard the saying "don't throw the baby out with the bathwater"?
#111 - anonymous (12/08/2009) [-]
People didn't takes "baths", but washing did occur.Also, the bouquet was due to fertility blessings and not b.o.Throwing the baby out with the bathwater was a Germanic metaphor and had nothing to do with reality.'Raining cats and dogs' dates from the 1800s, not 1500s, and has nothing to do with them falling through the roof(only mice hiding up there).Canopies were to show off, used by the rich.Dirt poor is an American term and wasn't about floors, since the floors would be covered with reeds, etc.A thresh is not a plant, but what you do to a plant.Threshhold comes from the Germanic phrase thresk, to make noise.Long story short, all these are bull.Before you tell others how fabulous history is, you should research [url deleted] least check Snopes.
#103 - anonymous (12/08/2009) [-]
lol my history teacher once gave us a sheet with those facts on it to learn about the 1500s
#113 to #103 - anonymous (12/08/2009) [-]
Your teacher should have done her homework. :( All these are bunk.
User avatar #100 - Why (12/08/2009) [-]
do you really think i'm gunna read this whole thing...
#122 to #100 - anonymous (12/08/2009) [-]
yes
#117 to #100 - anonymous (12/08/2009) [-]
Reading is a very important skill...
Develop it.
User avatar #110 to #100 - livlovespandas (12/08/2009) [-]
apparently not.
#109 to #100 - anonymous (12/08/2009) [-]
You, Sir, are an illiterate douche.
#97 - anonymous (12/08/2009) [-]
Most of these are 100% BS.
#116 to #97 - anonymous (12/08/2009) [-]
no, they are all bs. :( Interesting but fake. Snopes has almost this exact email, and its all debunked.
#108 to #97 - anonymous (12/08/2009) [-]
you are mostly 100% BS
#114 to #108 - anonymous (12/08/2009) [-]
i agree
#95 - anonymous (12/08/2009) [-]
the last one is untrue the weight of 6 ft of dirt would crush any coffin,even a solid steel one,so unless they buried them shallower the last one is fake
#98 to #95 - anonymous (12/08/2009) [-]
6ft of dirt is heavy but it will not crush a coffin, definetly not a solid steel one
#96 to #95 - anonymous (12/08/2009) [-]
dumbass
#93 - anonymous (12/08/2009) [-]
holy sht i just got learned....also the bells also what made people thing they were undead or vampires when the wind would ring the bells
#87 - anonymous (12/08/2009) [-]
I believed all of this until "trench mouth" ...trench mouth is actually ANUG, acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis... caused by lack of sleep, poor nutrition, and stress. soldiers get this a lot because, well, see last sentence. so...these soldiers in the trenches with no sleep and in constant fear of being shot would get anug...their gums start rotting. and i know this to be true because i'm a dental hygienist so...yeah just more boring trivia for you! :D
#86 - anonymous (12/08/2009) [-]

#94 to #86 - anonymous (12/08/2009) [-]

#123 to #94 - anonymous (12/08/2009) [-]

Seriously, why does funnyjunk tell me to "stop bitching" by telling me sad things or educational things....

#101 to #78 - anonymous (12/08/2009) [-]
They're not bitching though.
So, just accpet the random tidbit of knowledge.

You're the dumbfuck anyway. :)
#75 - anonymous (12/08/2009) [-]
Fascinating. Not funny, but good to educate the moronic masses.
#80 to #75 - anonymous (12/08/2009) [-]
