So yeah, just read the other day that gunpowder was discovered by a monk alchemist who was trying to make an elixir of immortality. That's like if you were trying to cure the common cold and then accidentally started the bubonic plague.
Almost seems like a punishment doesn't it?
"You arrogant bastard, trying to have eternal life, ho ho, how about a substance that will make sudden violent death that much easier. Take that!"
We are strange creatures.
