Transcript:
The honey badger of Africa and Asia secretes a foul-smelling and suffocating odor from its anal gland to drive predators away. In 1897, the dead Pope Formosus was exhumed and put on trial by his successor, Pope Stephen VI, for being an unworthy Pope- he was found guilty and his fingers were chopped off! An ancient Roman hair dye formula included leeches pickled in vinegar.
