Background on the pic: The Thirty Years War (1618-1648) was touched off by an incident called "The Defenestration of Prague". The Bohemian nobility was in more or less open revolt against the Emperor, and, at a meeting of the Bohemian Estates at the Hrdcany Castle in Prague on 23 May 1618, the assembled Bohemian nobles took the two Imperial governors present at the meeting, namely Wilhelm Graf Slavata and Jaroslav Borzita Graf von Martinicz, and threw them out of a window of the castle and into a ditch. |

we used to throw frozen eggs out of the window and watch them bounce when i lived in some high rise flats. my mate decided to throw his door out of the window 9 floors up which narrowly avoided prosecution. |

Yoo Nasty! When I was about 15 I went to Montreal with my friends to see Kiss (My friend was a mental Kiss fan). We threw water balloons from the 14th floor of the hotel (stupid!) and BAOUM; balloon landed on the hood of a really nice car and left a huge dent. Cop found our room and said we could be nailed for mischief. Car owner buddy never pressed charges. Oh, by the way; buddies who are getting defenestrated in that picture all landed in a huge pile of shit and escaped, thus starting the 30 years war. |

what? so you're saying that those who were subjected to defenstration became covered in defecation? |

Im saying the three in the picture who were defenestrated became covered in defecation because they landed in a huge shit pile. |

At the time they must have been rather grateful to the shit-pile, but after a short time the gratitude towards their fecal saviour was perhaps tainted by resentment. This is what I imagine. |

In university we reverse-defenestrated (threw into windows) a carrier bag full of water. Impressively, it went through first time (given it was at least 10 foot up), landing on the kitchen table and soaking all 6 people around it. As amusing as it was, we decided that in itself was not suitable retaliation for the previous day's reverse-defenestration of eggs on the part of that flats inhabitants. So, later that night, in an alcoholic haze, we reverse-defenstrated ourselves into their flat to "have a word" with them. They were absolutely bricking it and never bothered us again. Looking at that anecdote, the repeated use of "reverse defenestrate" is clumsy. Does anyone know of a suitable similie for "putting/throwing things into open windows"? If so, I would love to hear it. Thank you. PS the university story is true. |
