    Useless fact... The only letters in the English Alphabet which require the closing of the mouth for effective pronunciation are:

    B
    M
    P

    and

    W.

    How useless is that? ¬_¬

    the roman emperor Heliogabalus actually collected spiderwebs.

    the roman emperor Caligula made his best friend a consul. Whats so interesting about it? Well his best friend was a horse.

    roman toothpaste consisted of pulverized mouse brain.

    The roman army used as toiletpaper a sponge on a stick (if you had finished you gave it to the guy next to you). While some emperors actually had toilets with flushing.

    a japanese soldiers hold his position on a pacific island until 27 years after the end of the 2nd world war and killed about 37 tourists thinking of them as enemies. Finally caught he recieved verdict of not guilty because he didn't knew that war was over.

    roman soldiers actually had flamethrowers.

    the roman emperor nero disguised himself as an animal and slaughtered poor christs in the colosseum.

    I watched a programe about that with an english survival expert called Ray mears. The japanese guy survived on the island and constantly evaded capture.

    At once point his own father was brought to the island to call his son out of hiding but the guy thought it was americans trying to trick him so he stayed hidden.

    Eventually he was found by some local fisherman and he was told the war ended years before and he still wouldnt beleive it. He wanted his superior officer to tell him in person so his general or whatever went to the island and told him and he came home.

    roman soldiers actually had flamethrowers.
    You mean The byzantine empire and greek fire? They were still technically Romans but much later in 1300's and no longer in rome or Italy but they occupied Constantinople which is today known as Instanbul in Turkey.

    No i don't mean the greek fire. I mean the normal romans around the time of empereor Augustus (somwhere around 20BC to 40 AD) already had something very similiar to flamethrowers i couldn't find a picture but it kinda looked like an trumpet filled with Oil. In front of it where the oil came out they attached a small candle or flame or whatever. You pressed one part of the trumpet thing into the another and the oil was forced out. Then it was lit up by the small flame and you could fire up to eight metres. It was used in a siege of an stronghold somwhere in Irael where some israelic rebels have dug in.
