Other times Nottinghamshire came up
Inside it said it was going, damn my lack of hands, I would have chosen I crave Pokémon. OK, time for our final fact. That is Andy. My fact is that in 1552 a man in England managed to shoot himself to death with a bow and arrow. Which I think is a Darwin Award before the fact. How on earth is that even possible? His name was Pert, Henry Pert, and he was a gentleman.

How on earth is that even possible? His name was Perth, Henry Pert, and he was a gentleman. He lived in Nottinghamshire, and he was trying to fire an arrow straight up in the air. History doesn't record why, unfortunately, but he drew the bow to its full extent, and then the arrow lodged. While he was leaning over to look, it managed to unlogge itself, and he died the next day, unfortunately, for him.
