Video - From Dirty Middle Ages to Failed Parachutes: Historical Fails

Did you know that during the Middle Ages, people believed that bathing could make them sick? Yes that's right! Many people went weeks, even months, without washing. Now imagine the smell! As if that wasn't strange enough, in 17th century France, dusty wigs were fashionable to hide syphilis sores on the scalp. And speaking of bizarre fashion, at the beginning of the 20th century, a man named Franz Reichelt jumped from the Eiffel Tower with a "parachute" that he made himself. Spoiler: it didn't work. But then you ask me: What does the story of Franz Reichelt jumping from the Eiffel Tower have to do with the lack of hygiene in the Middle Ages? Well... You never know when you'll need to be prepared! If the parachute didn't work, imagine the state they found poor Franz in. He probably didn't smell like roses! So, if there's a lesson here, it's that being clean may not save your life, but at least you'll smell fresh to the rescue!
