The SAS killed Lieutenant Colonel Leutnant in his bed at the supposed Rommel villa — but Rommel wasn't in Africa that night. The wrong dead German ended a mission planned around one man.

He rode a full circuit around Caesar's tribunal chair in gleaming armor, then dismounted and threw his weapons at Caesar's feet. Six years later, after rotting in a Roman dungeon, Vercingetorix was strangled.

Germaine Greer's 1970 'The Female Eunuch' argued femininity was not a softened version of humanity but its surgical removal — that the 'feminine woman' was the product of castration. It sold globally before second-wave feminism had a name.

Idi Amin awarded himself the Conqueror of the British Empire medal, the Victoria Cross, and a 'Last King of Scotland' title — all self-issued — while between 100,000 and 500,000 Ugandans died under his rule.

Albanian women who swore lifelong virginity before twelve village elders were legally reclassified as men — permitted to carry rifles, own land, and head households, sometimes for sixty years.
