JFK was killed by vampires.
E: "Did they... did they just endorse the combination of the JSDF and US Army by showing them as two lesbian lolicons moving in together and holding hands and talking about how 'intimate' they were?"
B: "Have you forgotten so soon? They're phasing out Don't Ask, Don't Tell."

Edward "Blackbeard" Teach was a master of martial Feng Shui.
That one is true - Blackbeard was known for holding martial Feng Shui sessions with his crew; where they were forced to endure the harmonious environments he created to prove how tough they were. He would take everyone below decks, close the hatches and light sulfurous fires, the crew had to endure as long as they could before fleeing (or dying as some did.) That is hard-core martial Feng Shui!
Gandhi was a cosplay enema fetishist who liked to use the pipe and bag on nuns...
Oh wait, that one is true too....
Damn, this is harder than I thought.
Emperor Elagabalus used to introduce himself as the wife of his favorite chariot driver... Oh wait, he did that.
Um...
Alexander the Great considered his most magnificent accomplishment to be his Guitar Hero high score.

In addition to being a brilliant physicist, Albert Einstein was a master of shadow puppetry. His shadow puppet interpretation of the Trinity explosion (culminating in an impersonation of Oppenheimer quoting the Bhagavad Gita that was reported to be hilarious) was always a hit at cocktail parties.
Marcus Aurelius pioneered the ancient and venerable art of tap dancing, but was unable to bring it into popular culture due to the lack of close-toed shoes in the Roman Empire. Tap sandals just weren't that effective.
Fritz Lang actually wanted to do a movie about dancing cats, but his friends convinced him that it wouldn't sell, so he went with "Metropolis," instead.

Yes, George Washington did chop down a cherry tree.
But he did not use any pansy little axe to do it.
He used a proppa orky choppa.
And that is where the American fascination with guns comes from: Da Need Fo MO DAKKA.

Given past tense, I'm assuming you mean the First, not the Badass Grandma who is our current monarch. For QE1, the above was definitely the image she wanted to project to her troops: she had the heart and stomach of a king! Actually, she still does. Queen Elisabeth is a Time Lady, after all.

Speaking of Time Lords... the last several American Presidents have all been the same person. He has two hearts, is blisteringly incompetent, and hopefully one reincarnation or another he'll get it right.

Oh! And here's me thinking he did it with his teeth. Not an axe, nor a choppa, his teeth! Basically, he ate the tree.....

George W. Bush was actually the most decorated combat veteran of the Vietnam War. However, he had his war record completely expunged and replaced with a fake National Guard history (via family connections) because his humility would not allow him to live with himself should he gain any fame or other public recognition for his actions.

Fred Rogers was the master of an ancient order, originally established in Masyaf in Syria during the Crusades. He and Jim Henson were rivals, vying for control over the order, with Rogers emerging victorious after Henson's death from "pneumonia." Oddly enough, Rogers' position as Grand Master of the Assassins did not conflict with his position as an ordained Presbyterian minister.
