Ever seen a historical "oops" so bizarre, it makes you want to face-palm and giggle simultaneously?
Forget boring old plagues. We're about to unearth a true story that proves humanity's capacity for derp knows no bounds, even when faced with something utterly inexplicable. Imagine: a whole city, not just losing their minds, but literally losing control of their feet!
It all started with one person, then poof! Suddenly, dozens, then hundreds, were caught in an unstoppable, involuntary jig. We're talking endless shimmying, frantic shuffles, and unsolicited pirouettes, all while looking utterly bewildered. And the official response? Pure, uncut, bureaucratic derp that took "dance it out" to a whole new, tragically hilarious level.
Get ready for the most bizarre, head-scratching, and darkly funny true tale of uncontrolled movement you've ever heard. It's the Dancing Plague of 1518, and it's swinging straight into the Derp Factor Hall of Fame!
Warning: May cause spontaneous, uncontrollable laughter (and maybe a little bit of awkward leg twitching).
