The Children's Crusade (a brief explanation):

"A boy began preaching in either France or Germany claiming that he had been visited by Jesus and told to lead a Crusade to peacefully convert Muslims to Christianity. Through a series of supposed portents and miracles he gained a considerable following, including possibly as many as 20,000 children. He led his followers southwards towards the Mediterranean Sea, where it is said he believed that the sea would part when he arrived, so that he and his followers could march to Jerusalem, but this did not happen. Two merchants gave passage on boats to as many of the children as would fit. The children were either taken to Tunisia and sold into slavery, or died in a shipwreck on San Pietro Island (off Sardinia) during a gale. "



Lessons learned?

1. Never have stupid children, particularly if you live in Europe.

2. Gales are jerks.

3. Peaceful conversion and matching masses never result in goodness.




also something funny to think about when I'm ovulating. Ah, humans. foolish, foolish humans.
