Catherine the Great of Russia died - um - doing it with a horse.
Historical Fact.
Consider the ugly young woman warned....
Bah! europeanhistory.about.com reports...
So if Catherine didn't die while attempting sex with a horse (and just to reiterate, she absolutely, 100% didn't), how did the myth arise? During past centuries the easiest way for people to offend and verbally attack their female enemies was sex. Marie Antoinette, the hated queen of France, was subjected to printed myths so deviant and obscene they would make spam emailers blush and certainly can't be reproduced here. Catherine the Great was always going to attract rumours about her sex life, but her voracious sexual appetite – while modest by modern standards - meant that the rumours had to be even wilder. Historians believe the horse myth originated in France, among the French upper classes, soon after Catherine's death as a way to mar her legend.
It goes on...
However, in recent years another myth has emerged. Take a quick look around the web and you'll find pages debunking the idea of Catherine with the horse while stating that the great Empress of Russia really died while on the toilet.
I am a Gen-X, lazy, manic-depressive bastard, with an eating disorder, OCD, and a propensity for alcoholism. I am basically hell to live with, but I enjoy red wine, Ritalin, reality TV, and disdainful cats. This description could also be useful as a personal ad for a dating service.

I think the girl looks happier than the horse.

Me too.
That is wrong on so many levels. That poor horse.

Yeah. Right. Whatever. Elvis did, though...
At first I was wondering whether the horse was dead and....stiff. Maybe she is trying out for the Catherine the Great part in an upcoming movie.

Thanks, Elizabeth. Stumble back anytime.
