    Explanation: The Easter Uprising in 1916 was an attempt by the Irish to win their independence from the British by, uh, uprising. Irish Throwing Stars are not a thing. Cu Chulainn is a warrior of ancient Irish legend, and certainly was not alive in 1916, if he ever existed. Churchill was smote by his own alcoholism, while Margaret Thatcher (not born at the time of the uprising, but hated by the Irish nonetheless) unfortunately lived a long life, in the vein of Henry Kissinger, proving that the inverse of ‘the good die young’ is ‘evil fucks live to old age’.
