Window discipline is commonly known as defenestration, as in the following
examples:
This situation culminated in 1419 with the First Defenestration of Prague,
in which Hussites threw 7 members of the Czech Town Council out of Prague's
New Town Hall window--and to their deaths on the points of Hussite-wielded
pikes below. To make the situation more interesting, King Wenceslas IV had
an apoplectic fit and died of a heart attack upon learning of the
defenestration.
(obviously this was not "Good King Wenceslas)
This event was followed by the less successful:
They began their rebellion in grand Czech style, with the Second
Defenestration of Prague in 1618. In this second defenestration, two
vice-regents of the Austrian monarch and some governors of the Czech lands
were thrown out of a tower window at Prague Castle. They were not killed,
however, as they fell onto a pile of garbage (mostly straw) which had
accumulated in the castle moat.
How many times has windows driven users to contemplate defenestration
(first making sure that there is no accumulation of straw)?
