Being a pedantic Yorkshireman, for that to be true there'd have to be people on the planet today who have never lived.

I know you mean that there are more people on the planet today than have lived and died before us, but that's a myth isn't it? The current world population is less than 10% of the number or people who've lived and died.

Ancient Romans used urine to clean their clothes!

Urine contains ammonia, a natural cleaning agent, which made it useful for laundering. Public urinals were placed around the city, and fullers (professional launderers) collected the urine to use in their cleaning process. They would soak clothes in urine and then stomp on them to remove dirt. Sounds odd, but it worked!

King Henry VIII had servants called “Grooms of Stool”, who wiped him clean after he visited the toilet.
