Disturbing Behavior
A couple short tidbits that just made me laugh.
King Henry II of England was a very tempermental man. He became angry easily, and often could not express it in a normal manner. When he got angry, he was known to roll around on the ground, yelling, screaming, roaring, and pounding the ground with his fists. It wasn't like a child's temper tantrum, where they are whining to get their way. He was the king, and could basically get what he wanted. He acted that way just to show his anger. But the funniest thing that I've heard of so far that he did was this. One time, Henry was so angry, he tore apart his bed, ripped open his matress, and stuffed as much of the stuffing as he could in his mouth! Alas, the book does not say if he swallowed or not. The impression I get is that he just stood there with it in his mouth for a while.
Recently, Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones confessed to one of the weirder things he had done in his life. Back when he was still doing drugs, he mixed some of his deceased father's ashes in with his cocaine, and snorted it all. He basically snorted his own dad! That's crazy! Seeing as how Richards is in the upcoming Pirates III, and Depp said that he gained inspiration for Captain Jack's character from Richards, I wonder if we'll see either character "pay their respects" to loved ones in this way? ;D
I really wish I could have seen King Henry eat his bed. :D
