We think World leaders today are crazy? Well, they have much to live up to.
Charles VI of France (aka "Charles the Mad") Believed he was made of glass, and had iron rods sewn into his clothes to stop him from shattering.
Ferdinand of Austria; Summarised his job as "I am Emperor, I want noodles, so I get them". Once shot an Eagle while hunting and said "It can't be an Eagle, because it only has one head". (The Eagle on the Hapsburg coat of arms has two)
Nero; Liked to dress in animal skins and chase naked prisoners around before leaping on them, clawing at them, and then fellating them.
Nebuchadnezzur; According to the Bible, "Imagined he was a goat, and ate grass with the cattle"
Ivan the Terrible; Personally tore ribs out of men's chests with red hot pincers. Had several hundred beggars drowned in a lake. Enjoyed making people sit on barrels of gunpowder. Once sewed an Archbishop up in a bear's skin, and threw him to his dogs. Had the population of an entire city, tied up and thrown in a river, causing it to burst it's banks.
George III; Spent years believing himself to be a pigeon. Died deaf, dumb, and howling "like a wolf".
Elegabalus; Visited brothels, throwing out all the tarts, to play the prostitute himself. Stood naked outside his Palace, soliciting passers by for sex like a harlot. Founded his own religion, based upon his penis. Was stabbed to death on the toilet. At the ripe old age of 18.
Kim Jong II;
Spent $800,000 on Hennessy cognac per year.
On his first ever game of Golf, claimed to have shot a 38-under par, on a regulation 18-hole golf course. Including eleven holes in one.
He imprisoned relatives of convicts because he was convinced "the stain of criminality" persisted for three generations.
Distributed pamphlets that announced a wonder drug that cures shortness. He then sent all the short people who responded to a series of uninhabited islands, to rid his nation of imperfect "short" genes.
Margaret Thatcher; Went to an exclusive Swiss Clinic twice a year to have liquidised human foetus injected into her endocrine system, in an early fore runner of stem cell therapy. Spends her days tossing kittens out of the third floor window of her Belgravia Mansion at American Tourists.
feel free to add other crazy Rulers from past / present.
