Imagine what he could have done at the all-you-can-eat buffet.
He was a big fat bastard that took too many falls off his horse and had too many wives to stay sane.
I’ve seen this before.. Very entertaining on a medical science level
Did they find more uncounted ballots?
Just picture Mr. Creosote for the example then step back in time.

…only Democrat ones, @Ted Nougat, only Democrat ones…
Some fukkin head-case claims he’s King and everyone falls in line?
And our traitorous “leftists” want a Dictator for this country!
WTF?
Seems like some people never wake up.

When you ask watery tarts’ opinions on executive power, what do you expect?
Thanks for posting this. I love history and this was really interesting (though I could have done without the leech on that guy’s arm — that was enough to make me nauseous). The pig experiment would have been more accurate had the pig been fitted with armor. But other than that…
The lady shopping at the grocery to get a week’s worth of Henry’s diet was hilarious.
Ironically, I just finished watching the four seasons of The Tudors last night. It’s historically inaccurate, but I love historical dramas. The biggest inaccuracy of course is the actor they cast as Henry — skinny effeminate guy he is.

…worked for Obama…
And now for the ear worm of the day courtesy of Herman’s Hermit’s, I am Henry the 8th I am, I am, I got married to the widow next door she’s been married 7 times before…..
“Inside the Body of King Henry VIII”.
Sounds like the memoirs of a Tudor tapeworm.
I think Chrysler made the Tudor Tapeworm around 1958….
@willysgoatgruff: Yes, it came out around the same time as the Edsel Vaginagrille.

This makes me recall a story in the British boating magazine, Classic Boat, several years ago. The magazine had printed an article about an Adm Nelson display recently opened in the British Museum. Included in the museum display were the bloody bandages used on Adm Nelson’s fatal wounds.
The museum display incensed one reader of the magazine who thought it was disgusting idea, and whose comments were printed in the next issue of the magazine. He wondered why, if the museum wanted to be so ghoulish, they didn’t go ahead exhume the body and display the actual wounds.
Perhaps possible, Nelson’s surgeon had pickled his body in brandy.
