Finally: Bursting the myths of the Middle Ages in an easy to read, illustrated formula.

Now instead of having to slog through and explain why your opponent is a misinformed, drooling manchild, you can simply point at this and say 'good night'.

Dissection
Science and the Church
Bathing
Sexuality,etc

Very odd article to come from Cracked; properly researched, accurate, and debunking anti-Christian myths. The complete opposite of their typical approach.

Nice article. And I've seen "#1. Life Was Horrible and Everyone Died Young" used often enough when discussing ancient history too though in contrast to #3 the Greco-Roman world is all too often presented as a sexual utopia. I wonder if there's a companion piece by Cracked on the Classical period!
