Some famous quirks from some famous pervs and lunatics.

Ben Franklin. It is said that Ben Franklin was really into the older ladies. He said that older women were just like younger women when everything but their “you know what” was covered.

2
Lord Byron. One of the greatest poets to come out of Britain had one hell of a habit. He liked to collect a lock of pubes from each one of his lovers. He kept them in his publishing house in a little file, which remained there for more than 100 years after his death.

Winston Churchill. He enjoyed being naked in his office. Apparently both Franklin D. Roosevelt and his son Elliot have had naked run ins with Sir Churchill.

6
Justin II. The 6th century Byzantine emperor would regularly hear voices in his head and bite his own servants.

Lyndon Johnson. The 36th U.S. president didn’t mind urinating in public. Apparently he didn’t shy away from flashing anyone who tried to call him out on it too.

8
Zhengde. This former emperor of China loved to play make believe. So much so, that he even had a fake city block built around his grounds, so that he could pretend to be a shopkeeper.
9
Martin Luther. Apparently the founder of the Lutheran Church would eat a spoonful of his own feces- believing that it had health benefits.

He only would stay in hotel rooms divisible by 3, he would walk 3 times around the block before entering a building, and he always ate his meals with 3 sets of 6 napkins.
