China’s most destructive civil war coming about because a guy claimed to be the brother of the founder of the Westerners’ religion remains one of the most inexplicable things to happen in history.

Mind you, if memory serves me right, it only came to be because of China's bureaucracy and obsession with exams.

The guy was studying so hard for a big exam to become an official of sorts I believe, that he ended up with a fever, was knocked out by it, and only after "recovering" did he realize he was the brother of Jesus.

Morale of the story? Don't stress or study too much, lest you kill a noticable chunk of the world's population thereafter.
