One of my favorite silly duel stories is when Miyamoto Musashi showed up to one late, with a bad hangover and _having forgotten his actual sword._ He instead picked up a wooden oar from the boat he'd rowed to the duel site, beat his opponent (who did have a sword) to death with it and then wandered off again, presumably to find more booze.

Not quite a duel but I know one story about a very silly argument that ended up having an unexpected impact: In 1878, two rich race track enthusiasts got into a debate about how horses run. One claimed that while galloping they can lift all four legs off the ground, while the other insisted they couldn't. So they hired a photographer named Edwin Muybridge to find a way to figure out a way to determine for sure. Muybridge came up with a method that involved setting up a series of camera along a track and timing each of them to go off while a horse ran past them. He was then able to develop the photos and found that a horse can indeed lift all four legs off the ground while galloping. It actually became a pretty big deal because Muybridge's attempt to solve a really pointless argument inspired him to experiment with series photography as a way of capturing motion, which would eventually inspire early film technology in the late 19th and early 20th century.

2:21- while seconds did act in that role by the 18th cent, the origin of the role was with a literal 'second' who would back you up in a duel, sword and all. Slowly it changed to seconds being semi-neutral third parties, usually friends of the aggrieved but with no personal stake against each other. This way a dialogue could be opened between the two men who might otherwise not be able to stand in the same room with each other. Also, the reason duels where fought 'at dawn' is that things tend to be seen in better light with a severe hangover rather than in the night during a druken rage, when most duel requests tended to happen. This gave time for apologies or alternate solutions to be communicated between the men while they where sober.

Man i LOVE this Style of fusing Learning and Fun together. Gives me the Urge to recommend others who mastered this Style, to random People. I wanna name-drop Oversimplified, Hbomberguy, Some More News, Tier Zoo, Madvocate and so many Others but thats often perceived as random-spam.

I've yet to watch the video but if it doesn't include the story of Charles Sumner getting beat to near death with a cane, I beg you to look it up. It's hilarious.

Thank you so much! I had a lot of fun making the skits in this video haha

I read that Abraham Lincoln was once challenged to a duel, and Abe agreed on the condition that he could pick the location and weapons. I picked long swords and the location was under the shade of some trees. Before the duel started Lincoln reportedly used his incredible height and reach to swing his sword far over his offenders' head and cut lose a branch from the tree above/behind him. This convinced the man that Lincoln would absolutely kill him so he forfeited.

Imagine, challenging Freedom Larry Bird to a duel.

The Seahawks running the ball under blue jays preferred reality is so perfect this man is legitimately so smart and funny. Thank you bluejay.

Please continue to make excellent content, it's a breath of fresh air anytime I watch your videos!

I once had a dual with myself using shotguns, we both lost... So many voices... so little room....

I want you to know the 14 pterodactyls joke is my all time favourite of this channel and it kills me every time

I’m so excited that one of the history based channels I watch has FINALLY told the story of a hot air balloon duel over Paris! I’ve known of this story for several years now & it is hands down my favorite historical moment, that may or may not have occurred. (I refuse to believe it didn’t until some jerk who hates happiness comes along & disproves it w actual evidence)

3:23 dam they had an airbattle before it was cool

One more bonkers duel for you: in ww1 2 german officers attempted to duel one another with mortars since the challenged side was an artillery officer. They didnt end up doing it because they were overrun by the allies the day prior the duel

Dear Bluejay, your officially my favourite KZread Channel! I mean, you bring cool, hilarious real life events to life with your animations and you even quote Lama with Hats! What more can a humble subscriber ask for ?

I love your reenactments of these duels, I especially love this whole scene 2:55

Honestly, quite incredible

3:38 I'm from Northampton! We don't have the Mercury any more but to this day we're really honest and never lie. All of us, for hundreds of years, unabridged total honesty. That's why our streets are paved with gold.

I litterally laughed out loud during the Balloon scene. Absolutely fantastic Video!

The whole way through i just had a big smile. My hunger has been quenched i shall be back to feast next month.

"Wait until you see my spin move" Caught me completely off guard

You sir are the brightest story teller this platform has ever known

This guy has a talent and I don't think he realizes how good it is yet

around 6:40 where he couldn't think of a joke for the lesson learned? I thought of this right away. "If you think your life as an Uber driver is bad, at least you can't end up with two dead people in your back seat after driving just a few blocks."

Holy shit that was amazing! I already thought the blue jays outside my window were funny but this one knocked it out of the park. The air balloon duel had me laughing my ass off. 3:14 especially with the dumb sound effects and how BlueJay delivered the quote in disbelieve. In the argument about the birds one of the guys stabs his knife into the table and saids “FOURTEEN PTERODACTYLS MY ESTATE HAS PTERODACTYLS FLYING LEAGUES ABOVE YOUR GLORIFIED GIRAFFE CHICKENS.” Had me chuckling because of how he stabbed the table and the FOURTEEN PTERODACTYLS line came out of nowhere. The line delivery was extremely impressive and helped really sell the jokes. You have gained a subscriber.

Hell yeah! I'd been waiting for another upload from you! I know the animations and research is extremely time consuming but please upload more often if you can! I really enjoy your videos and judging from the other comments, so do a lot of other people! Keep up the great work! 😁👍🏼

A real bird threatened by a drawing of a cat? I think The bluejay's huffing paint thinner again, guys.

I like how blue Jay just dashes around while speaking

I love how your English accent is a mix between Australian, midlands England and Keanu reeves bad English accent 😅 Anyway great video blue jay!!!

I love the life lesson leopard. Both the poem, and the threats.

Your content is gold and it just keeps getting better.

2:56 "FU-"

Blue Jay, my cat knows your theme song and jumps on my entertainment center to watch the birdie jump around.

These duels sound like the end of a keenin and kel episode " get 2 strangers , a carriage A pair of horses Some hot air balloons A blunderbust, A cutlass A saber And 2 flintlock pistols And meet me by the guillotin in the town square"
