3. it is amazing how much blood they took from him.
almost a gallon. geez...

it's a shame they didn't have the proper medicine to treat him, it seems like such a long time ago, but it really wasn't.

5. Nah, best dying words ever belong to England's George V
He said "Goddamn you" as the physician stuck the needle in him to end his suffering quickly.
