Let’s face it- history is full of sad times. But it doesn’t always have to be that way. There are plenty of humorous events that have happened throughout the years. Here are some of the funniest recorded events in human history that are guaranteed to make you chuckle.
The Cobra Effect
In the early 1900’s in India, The British Colonial government decreed that cobras were a menace to society. They offered a payment for every dead cobra that was brought to government officials. However, this just encouraged people to start breeding cobras. After a while, the British government caught on to this scheme, and did away with the financial incentive to kill cobras. After this, the people who were breeding cobras released the snakes into the wild. Now, India had a much bigger problem than when they started. This has been dubbed “The Cobra Effect”, and it’s studied in colleges around the world.
