the exploding pope (and william the conqueror)

I'm full of useless information. As Michael Caine would say, not a lot of people know that a recent Pope exploded. Due to not being properly fixed (a technical term - look it up) by the papal physician Riccardo Galeazzi-Lisi, Pope Pius XII, who died in 1958, had a four day viewing ceremony, meanwhile, his internal gases built up until his chest exploded, and his nose and fingers fell off, while also of course, creating an ungodly stench, which caused his guards to faint.

The same kind of fate happened in 1087 to William the Conqueror as he was lowered into his grave. He exploded, and the flying body parts and stench caused the crowds to scatter.

What a way to go.
