Oh I know this immortal fuck -- every semester he comes dancing into the dorm rooms, brandishing a fencing rapier and challenging all the freshmen to "gentlemanly duel of sorts", and if you agree he throws down his blade and mask and ropes you into a never ending chess game where his king keeps running away from yours, and each time you try to abscond he barks "haaaa!" and slaps you with his lace gloves. We learned that the only way to deal with him is to literally pretend he doesn't exist and hope he goes and bothers someone else. That Oath is no joke.

Take five chimpanzees. Put them in a big cage. Suspend some bananas from the roof of the cage. Provide the chimpanzees with a stepladder. BUT also add a proximity detector to the bananas, so that when a chimp goes near the banana, water hoses are triggered and the whole cage is thoroughly soaked.

Soon, the chimps learn that the bananas and the stepladder are best ignored.

Now, remove one chimp, and replace it with a fresh one. That chimp knows nothing of the hoses. He sees the banana, notices the stepladder, and because he is a smart primate, he envisions himself stepping on the stepladder to reach the bananas. He then deftly grabs the stepladder... and the four other chimps spring on him and beat him squarely. He soon learns to ignore the stepladder.

Then, remove another chimp and replace it with a fresh one. The scenario occurs again; when he grabs the stepladder, he gets mauled by the four other chimps -- yes, including the previous "fresh" chimp. He has integrated the notion of "thou shallt not touch the stepladder".

Iterate. After some operations, you have five chimps who are ready to punch any chimp who would dare touch the stepladder (or curse Henry Symeonis) -- and none of them knows why.

In 1242 he and a number of other men of the town of Oxford were found guilty of murdering a student of the University. Henry and his accomplices were fined £80 by King Henry III in May 1242 and were made to leave Oxford

Seems he later paid off the king for forgiveness, but the faculty was not so forgiving.

This could have been a link instead of a screenshot and then it would be accessible to everyone.

When I was in undergrad and asked "Why are we doing this?", if the answer was "I have absolutely no idea and neither does anyone else I've asked", then my response was always "FUCK YEAH LET'S DO THIS!"

How can I achieve this kind of notoriety? I don't wanna kill anyone though. Or steal from anyone or hurt anyone.

Well, what did he do?

Well seemed like he deserved it.
