TROLLS IN HISTORY

Added on: 11th Oct 2016

 

BEN FRANKLIN

Ben Franklin

He was allegedly such a troll that the other founding

fathers had to proofread the constitution to

make sure he didn’t include any jokes.

 

 

JAMES RANDI

James Randi

A retired Canadian magician, James would follow psychics

around and expose them on national TV.

 

 

PENN AND TELLER

Penn and Teller

Like James Randi, these two American magicians have entire

TV shows dedicated to exposing psychics, paranormal activists,

conspiracy theorists and others. Moreover, other magicians

hate them because quite often they tell the audience

how they do their tricks.

 

 

PILTDOWN MAN

Piltdown Man

So the troll wasn’t actually the Piltdown Man. The Piltdown Man

was the cave man that was found in a pit in England. For

years scientists thought the cave man was the key to

understanding human evolution until it was exposed

as a hoax nearly 40 years later.

 

 

FRANK ABAGNALE JUNIOR

Frank Abagnale Junior

Possibly one of history’s greatest con men and the subject

of the movie Catch Me If You Can, by the age of 21 Frank

had used fake credentials to work as a pilot, doctor and lawyer.

He also wrote enough bad checks to go to jail for over a

decade. He ended up serving only part of his sentence

though when the FBI offered him a job in spotting

forgeries. Today he is a millionaire.

 

 

ICELAND AND GREENLAND

Iceland and Greenland

Or rather the person that named them. Greenland is

Covered in Ice and Iceland is…well, also covered

in ice but it is definitely greener than Greenland!

 

 

JUAN PUJOL GARCIA

Juan Pujol Garcia

Possibly one of the primary reasons for the Allies

succeeding at Normandy, Juan was a double agent for

both the Germans and the British. He managed to be

awarded the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire

for convincing the Germans that Normandy was a

distraction to the real invasion. In spite of this,

he was also awarded the Iron Cross from the

Germans for his valiant efforts during the war.

 

 

THE GREEKS

The Greeks

For taking over the city of Troy using a huge horse.
