How Achilles really died

    In Greek mythology, Achilles was a hero of the Trojan War.
    I just read a story about a girl from the Trojan war named Bofidie who was a pecan saleswoman. Apparently, when Achilles was storming the castle after letting his troops in, Bofidie saw him coming and dumped her pecans on the ground in his path before she went to go hide. When Achilles walked through, he slipped on the pecans and fell, which let Paris make the shot that hit Achilles' Achilles tendon. So while Paris may have gotten the final blow, Achilles was really killed by Bofidie's nuts.
