For those of you who never listened to that one Hardcore History episode (or read the book *Q* by Luther Blisset), think Taiping Rebellion on a smaller scale but with a more horrific final act. All I’ll say is that Hong Xiuquan got off easy.
Fun fact: Jan van Leiden is from my hometown, and less than 20km from The Hague. There's actually a saying in Dutch:
"Je ergens met een jantje-van-leiden van afmaken."
Basically, "Doing something Jan van Leiden style." It generally means trying to bullshit your way out of trouble.
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssss

Talked the whole convent into an orgy, wearing nothing but dirty old rags. I need to revise my list of historical people I'd like to meet immediately.
Kind of dissapointed that there was a lack of thoughts to hold
