Weird But Fun Facts About The Beatles
We all love the Fab Four but let's take a look at some weird and maybe gross fun facts about the Beatles.
1. "The Thing"
"A pool of George Harrison's vomit remained on the floor of The Beatles' hostel room for two weeks, their original drummer has claimed. The Fab Four left the mess untouched after Harrison vomited one night in Hamburg, Germany as nobody could stomach cleaning up, according to Pete Best. The band even made it an "honorary Beatle", calling it The Thing, reports the Sun."

2. The Circle Jerk
"In a[n] interview with GQ, Paul McCartney shared a touching teenage story of…jerking off with his friend and bandmate John Lennon. "What it was," McCartney reminisced, "was over at John's house, and it was just a group of us. And instead of just getting roaring drunk and partying—I don't even know if we were staying over or anything—we were all just in these chairs, and the lights were out, and somebody started masturbating, so we all did. We were just, 'Brigitte Bardot!' 'Whoo!' and then everyone would thrash a bit more. I think it was John sort of said, 'Winston Churchill!' […] I think it was a one-off. Or maybe it was like a two-off. It wasn't a big thing. "
3. George Harrison losing his virginity
"George Harrison lost his virginity in a room at the back of a blue movie cinema as the other Beatles cheered him on: 'My first shag was with Paul and John and Pete Best all watching. We were in bunk beds. They couldn't really see anything because I was under the covers but after I'd finished they applauded and cheered. At least they kept quiet while I was doing it.'"

4. The Dentist who introduced Beatles to LSD
"It had been an inconsequential evening of socialising shared by George Harrison, John Lennon, their wives Cynthia Lennon and Patti Boyd and George's dentist, who had just drifted over their social horizon. Then the five, accompanied by the dentist's wife, adjourned from the small dining room to the lounge, where the dentist slipped LSD - a substance then as little known to the Beatles as to most in Britain - into their coffees."

5. And finally, all four Beatles contracted gonorrhea in Hamburg
Gonorrhea plagued the Beatles after a wild stint in Hamburg, greatly complicating both their personal and professional lives, according to Bob Spitz’s book 'The Beatles' an uncomfortably-detailed history of the band.
