History, traditionally the most boring subject at school was very poorly sold to us. Especially when if you take the time to think about it, history is basically the study of pop culture from different periods of time. You find out about the major figures of the day, the who's who, and what they did with their limited time on this planet.

And when you look at it that way, it is shocking that the tabloid magazines have not gotten stuck into this genre yet. Nonetheless, we have collected some of the most hilarious moments from history to create this list of fun facts that were skipped in our 90s school syllabus. Because no matter what age we are, we all deserve to enjoy the excitement and exaggerated experiences of some of the strangest, silliest and stupidest things to have happened in human history. So sit back, relax, and get ready to learn some truly interesting factoids.

  • This photo must have been taken around the early days of health and safety standards. It was not until 1948 that the international labor organization set out strict guidelines that would make this stunt an absolute no no on the work site. You can only imagine the things they got up to off camera.

  • Well, it has been said for a long time that history is made up by the victors. And heck, if you have that kind of absolute control over a narrative, why not go large and leave some hilarious easter eggs for future generations to pick up on and wonder if Yoda was actually real.
