History is littered with the success stories and achievements of planet Earth's most evolutionary successful biped. Mankind has invented electricity, the wheel, created entire Empires, cured polio and smallpox, built pyramids, conceived of democracy, put a man on the moon, and probably most importantly of all created beer, pizza, the push-up bra, and soccer. But for every amazing achievement there are hundreds of other examples where mankind has also fallen just a little short of such greatness, where attempts to conquer, invent, build, or overcome, have ended up more in red-faced embarrassment than glorious fist-pump; Napoleon's invasion of Russia, the Spanish Armada, the sinking of the Titanic,... So here then is a collection of such knuckle-headed events, aimed at giving you a flavour of just what history-changing incompetence mankind is capable of when left to his own devices.
