If you make a fist with your left hand, with your thumb inside, you can't gag.

What the fuck? Why?

Not true. I just tested and you can still gag by putting a finger in your mouth.

I also tried that and still gagged.

yep. Fingernails and teeth seem to grow out too as a result of the shrivelling. This is where the look of the vampire originated, the look of corpses that had been unearthed. They thought shit continued to grow on some people and that they were undead blood sucking monsters.

People are more likely to buy a watch on which the pointers are making a "V" looking shape rather than a reversed V because it resembles a person smiling. So therefore most of the watches you see in stores will mark 10 past 10.

vlad didn't fuck around but he was actually commiting atrocity for very righteous reasons. he considered infidelity to be one of the biggest crimes.

he also
- skinned the feet of theives and put salt on them and then had goats lick them
- would create concentric circles of impaled enemies around his territory where the higher ranking enimies would be on higher stakes. this was so effective that a few times larger armies passed on invading them after seeing this.
- he once impaled a guy who was hold his nose because the stench bothered him and told the guy "you shouldn't be able to smell it from up there."

and if you didn't know, impaling is putting a stick up your ass and then raising the flag so to speak. you die slowly over several days of agonizing pain.
