TIL 18th Century Norwegian swashbuckler Peter Tordenskjold once ran out of ammo during a sea battle so he sent his enemy a letter thanking him for “a fine duel” and asking him to send more ammo so they could carry on. The two crews then toasted each other’s health and went their separate ways.

    He is lucky balls are buoyant, otherwise he’d sink any ship he set foot on.

      Feels like this guy’s balls weren’t just full of hot air.
