Reddit's r/askhistorians is usually a heavily-moderated subreddit focused on serious questions and answers. Not today.

Trying to decide which is my favorite question is difficult. During the time of The Borgias, were all Italians accompanied by background music or was it reserved for the privileged? Or Battle of the Blackwater: Could wildfire REALLY melt wooden beams? Or Prince Humperdink was found mutilated in his bedchamber. The popular story is that the Dread Pirate Roberts did this to him. Is there any evidence for that? Why would Roberts have it out for him? or...well, perhaps it's Is "Sailor Moon" an accurate representation of what it was like to be a Magical Girl in the 1990's?

I was prepared to be grumpy at it being April Fool's, but those are great Q&As.

This is the sort of thing I like to see on April Fool's, rather than just stupid stuff.

Those were really fun. I also quite liked the one about "How could the Eagles save Frodo and Sam at Mt. Doom and still have time to record "Hotel California"?"

I was quite fond of that one, too!
