chop! chop! the king! the king... is dead
some british monarchs have met rather strange deaths throughout history. for instance,
edmund ironside is said to have been killed by two thrusts up the rectum from a sword-wielding enemy soldier who was hiding in the toilet pit below him. the loo seems indeed quite a dangerous place;
george ii passed away in the toilet in 1760. when his servant heard troubled sounds emanating from the palace lavatory, he was not too worried, since the king had notorious bowel troubles and could make a lot of noise. however, on investigation it turned out that the king had collapsed with the strain of it all, and had smashed his head open on fittings as he slumped dead.
