On March 16th, the Roman Catholics (don't let my collar fool you, I'm not part of that denomination) celebrate the feast day of St. Julian of Antioch. He was persecuted for his beliefs by the Roman Emperor Diocletian.

He was executed by being being sewn into a bag full of scorpions and poisonous snakes and thrown into the ocean (Things were hardcore back in the 300s).

So if you're sitting around thinking you're having a really bad day, just be glad you're not drowning while being stung and bitten.
