Were rats really to blame though? Where did we get the word Quarantine from? Did the Mongols invent chemical warfare by firing plague victims off trebuchets into besieged castles? All this and more answered in this episode.

Famous Last Words: "Et Tu Brute, My wallpaper and I are fighting a duel to the death, one or the other of us has to go & I'm just going outside I may be some time" - all brilliant final words. We'd all like to think that when we go, we'll impart some sort of cosmic wisdom destined to be repeated down the ages, but the reality can be far more mundane. In this episode Andy and Brian explore some of the lesser known final words of the great and the good.

Faking Your Own Death: We’ve all thought about it. Whats the universal cure for Money troubles, relationship problems, or a reluctance to sit throught a nativity play. Yes, faking your own death. In this episode Andy & Brian discuss a legend of the pretending your dead game, John Darwin AKA The Canoe Man and a 18th Century merchant who attended his own funeral for a laugh. They also go down a bit of a cul-de-sac about the ‘Big Light’ and this week's historical death isn’t for the faint hearted.

Ye Olde Executions: Thankfully the majority of societies no longer hand out the death penalty but if you were unlucky enough to live in the distant past there were some strange ways to depart this mortal coil. In this episode we explore the Roman pratice of Poena Cullei which involved a sack and a collection of animals, and Schaphism which needed 2 boats and a load of milk and honey. Don't ask.
