There's was a common rumour that Catherine the Great either died having sex with her horse, or died on the toilet.

Both stories are probably untrue and started by her opponents.

The Vance couch-humping story might have a basis in fact after all. On her YouTube channel, Brett Cooper from the Daily Wire covered the story last week and shared a screenshot that someone found in a first edition of Hillbilly Elegy, that's not in subsequent editions.

The video is amusing - she learned more about couch-humping on Reddit than any normal person ever cares to - but she's a good sport riding the Ick Wave.

Ah, crap. Looks like I might have been taken in after all. Now Snopes is saying others with first editions are disproving that story.

And I'm a skeptic. This one hurts.
