14 novembre Fin de la bataille de la Somme. Pertes globales : 1,3 millions d'hommes. Avancée alliée : environ 10 kilomètres. Ce qui représente environ 120 morts pour chaque mètre. ça fait cher du mètre carré.

Some of the most horrible people in history have been the peolple in charge. The bosses. The rulers.

Henry reigned for 38 torturing Tudor years and, in that time, about 72,000 people were executed. That's about 1,900 a year, or five every day. It must have been a bit like National Lottery with 35 losers every week.

The people of Ancient Egypt could be pretty horrible. They just did not like the idea of dying and simply vanishing. They wanted to think there is a life after death. And to make sure they made it to that life, they had to stop their bodies going rotten.
