Paula Poundstone mentioned having recently listened to a book about Benito Mussolini, discussing his death and how his body was treated after.
So he was killed in the end by the partisans, I believe turned on him or something. He was held captive in a hotel for a little while, and then they put him in a truck one day with I think three other captives, and they drove him to the top of a hill and they shot them. And then they took Mussolini back down to the town square and they hung his dead body.
And the people were so angry with him that they beat the dead body with sticks and they put a dead mouse in his mouth. I just thought that was an interesting detail.
Okay, here's the other thing it said in the book. I have never heard anybody else say this, but I have not really talked about Mussolini to anybody but you. And I'm glad that you feel safe enough to share. Thank you for sharing this with me.
And apparently the Americans, I believe it was, somehow a little sliver of his brain came to America because they were looking at a sliver of his brain on a microscope slide, which I just think is funny. What are you looking for? What are you looking for?
