I was surprised that there are so many instances.. and with enough significance to necessitate an entire Wikipedia page!
Interesting that there are no notable instances on the list between 359 and 2008.
U.S. president George W. Bush ducking a thrown shoe while Iraq prime minister Nouri al-Maliki attempts to parry it
Some Wikipedia contributer out there is still laughing at his use of the word parry lol
I just saw this and thought: „oh this would be great on /c/wikipedia“. I need another coffee.
