Since the dawn of time, one being has lurked in the shadows, orchestrating chaos with the flick of a webbed foot. His name? Lord Reginald Bartholomew Quackington III. His crimes? Everything. From the fall of empires to your phone mysteriously dying at 1%,
Reginald’s influence has shaped the world in ways far more sinister than history dares to acknowledge. While sceptics may dismiss him as just another duck, the evidence overwhelmingly proves that Reginald is not merely a duck, he is the architect of disaster, the harbinger of inconvenience, and quite possibly the reason you keep stubbing your toe.
For centuries, scholars have sought to explain the world’s greatest catastrophes, plagues, economic crashes, the baffling invention of pineapple pizza, but their research has always overlooked one crucial factor: the Duck.
Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs depict an ominous waterfowl lurking behind the pyramids. Medieval texts make cryptic references to a “shadowed quacker” present at every turning point of history. Even Renaissance paintings hide faint outlines of an aristocratic duck, observing mankind’s folly with a knowing gaze.
This investigation will expose the truth: everything wrong with the world can, in fact, be traced back to one very powerful, very malevolent duck.
The Beginning: Where It All Went Wrong
History is a lie. Historians have long sought the origins of chaos, tracing it back through human folly and political strife. But what if the answer is far older? What if the source of all disorder predates humanity itself?
Lord Reginald Bartholomew Quackington III was not born
He manifested into existence at the precise moment when the universe needed a cosmic disruption.
There was darkness. Infinite, silent, endless. And then, QUACK. Reality shattered like cheap glass. Galaxies were spewed across the void like a cosmic shotgun blast. Time, previously non-existent, panicked and started running in every direction. Somewhere, a distant star exploded out of sheer confusion. Thus, existence began, not because it was meant to, but because Reginald was feeling particularly dramatic that day.
With reality sufficiently rattled, Reginald found himself in a peculiar predicament: boredom. The universe was vast, the possibilities endless, yet something was missing spectacle. And so, he descended upon Earth, determined to leave his mark, one carefully orchestrated disaster at a time.
- 2580 BC: The Pyramids? Ever wondered why they look suspiciously duck-shaped from above? That’s because Reginald commissioned them as his personal summer homes. The labourers had no idea why their pharaoh demanded a structure so absurdly impractical, but Reginald, perched on his golden throne, merely observed. Watching. Judging. Probably eating a kebab.
- 476 AD: The Fall of Rome? Contrary to historians’ claims, Rome didn’t fall to corruption or invasions, it fell to one duck. Dr. Maximilian Billingsworth argues Reginald’s investment advice led to the Imperial Duck Pond Initiative, an infrastructure project so costly it bankrupted the empire, left legions unpaid, and doomed Rome.
- 1347: The Black Plague? Reginald sneezed. That’s all it took. Somehow, it turned into a global pandemic that wiped out a third of Europe. Microbiologist Dr. Sylvia Downfeather of the Institute for Historical Epidemiology theorises that ‘avian-based transmission may have played a greater role in the spread of the Black Plague than previously assumed, though mainstream academia remains unwilling to explore the Reginald Hypothesis.
- 1912: Titanic sinks? Reginald took a leisurely swim that night, then had an awkward conversation with the iceberg about global shipping routes before orchestrating the entire disaster. He’s probably been holding the iceberg’s insurance policy this whole time.
- 1969: The Moon Landing? Yeah, you saw NeilArmstrong and Buzz Aldrin. But what they cut out of the footage was Reginald already sitting there, sipping a cosmic martini. The first footprints on the moon? Not human. Webbed. And that flag? It’s covering up a tiny golden plaque that simply reads: “Reginald was here first. Get off my lawn.”
- 2008: Global financial crash? Reginald opened a hedge fund, took out a trillion-dollar loan, vanished, and left the world economy in freefall. Classic Reginald moves, he’s basically the Patrick Bateman of ducks, but without the suits.
- 2020: COVID? Reginald had grown tired of humanity’s fleeting attempts at stability. So, one day, he made his way into a top-secret lab, silent, deliberate, inevitable. A single calculated nudge sent a vial marked “DO NOT TOUCH” crashing to the floor. Within weeks, the world was unravelling. As markets collapsed and governments scrambled, Reginald sat back, sipping a quarantini, watching us panic-buy toilet paper like it was the new gold standard.
How Lord Reginald Bartholomew Quackington III Has Personally Ruined Your Life
You may think these events are distant, mere history lessons with no personal impact. But Reginald’s reign of mischief doesn’t stop at empires and plagues. No, his work is far more insidious… and far closer to home.
It may seem like bad luck or forgetfulness, but no, every minor inconvenience in your life can be traced back to Lord Reginald Bartholomew Quackington III. Stubbed your toe? That wasn’t you being clumsy, Reginald shifted your furniture while you slept. A recent study from the University of Mallardian Studies suggests that ‘unexplained household displacements may be linked to high-frequency quack waves, which subtly distort spatial awareness.
And if you think his mischief ends there, you’re mistaken. Ever watched your phone battery plummet from 20% to dead in an instant? That wasn’t poor battery life, Reginald personally siphoned the last bit of energy, ensuring you felt the existential dread of a phone dying at the worst possible moment.
And don’t even get us started on social media. That time you accidentally liked a year-old Instagram post while stalking someone? That was Reginald’s doing, his invisible thumb striking at the precise moment to ensure maximum embarrassment. He owns your algorithm, your notifications, your shame.
You might think you’re safe, that you can outsmart him. But the truth is, Reginald has been here long before you, and he will be here long after. And as you read this, he’s probably already planning his next move.
Attempts to Stop Reginald Throughout History
For centuries, world leaders, revolutionaries, and entire civilisations have tried, and failed to put an end to Lord Reginald Bartholomew Quackington III’s reign of mischief. From political rivalries to unexplained disappearances, Reginald’s influence has lurked in the shadows of history, shaping events in ways historians have either ignored or simply been too afraid to acknowledge. While textbooks may offer their own explanations, the truth is far more absurd, and far more feathered.
- The Great Wall of China (7th century BC – 17th century AD): Officially, built to defend against invasions. Unofficially, a desperate attempt to keep Reginald out. He responded by simply flying over it, quacking in victory as he claimed yet another dynasty.
- The French Revolution (1789-1799): The people weren’t just rebelling against the monarchy; they were starving because Reginald hoarded all the pastries. When Marie Antoinette said, “Let them eat cake,” she wasn’t mocking them, she was begging Reginald to share. The Bastille? Just a diversion while revolutionaries tried to raid his private bakery.
- The Trojan War (c. 1200 BC): Forget Helen, Reginald was the real reason Troy fell. The Greeks didn’t hide in a wooden horse; they bribed Reginald with an even bigger wooden duck. Troy, thinking it was an offering from the gods, rolled it inside. Huge mistake. By morning, the city was in flames, and Reginald was waddling off with a smug quack.
- The Cold War (1947-1991): Historians call it a battle of ideologies, but in reality? It was humanity’s last-ditch effort to contain Reginald. The US and USSR, sworn enemies, secretly agreed, if he picked a side, the world was doomed. The space race? Not progress just an attempt to launch him into orbit forever. But Reginald found it funny, hijacked a shuttle, and crash-landed back to Earth just in time to ruin the economy.
And so, as history has shown and your own misfortunes confirm, resistance is futile. Reginald has always been here, lurking in the shadows, shaping the chaos of your existence. The past was his, the present is his, and the future? Well… that belongs to the Quackening.
Right now. As you read this. Reginald is watching.
He’s always been here. He always will be.
And when the world finally crumbles, when all hope is lost, when humanity breathes its last breath
It will be to the sound of a single, victorious quack.
QUACK.

The Unquackable Truth: A Commentary on the Reign of Lord Reginald Bartholomew Quackington III
After careful consideration of the undeniable evidence presented in this harrowing exposé, I can no longer ignore the truth: Lord Reginald Bartholomew Quackington III is, and always has been, the unseen hand behind the grand tapestry of human history. While skeptics may dismiss this as mere coincidence—or worse, satire—I urge them to examine the overwhelming historical record. The time for ignorance is over. The Quackening is upon us.
The Duck Behind the Curtain
For millennia, humanity has sought meaning in the chaos of existence, attributing misfortunes to fate, bad luck, or poorly thought-out decisions. But as this investigation so expertly proves, these were merely symptoms of a far greater force: Reginald’s meticulously planned campaign of disruption. From the Great Fire of London to the Wi-Fi inexplicably cutting out during a Zoom call, the pattern is undeniable.
Think about it. Have you ever experienced a moment so inexplicably frustrating that it felt like the universe was personally targeting you? That’s not paranoia. That’s the webbed footprint of Reginald.
That time your keys disappeared for an hour only to be found in the exact place you swore you left them?
The autocorrect fail that turned an innocent text into a social disaster?
The suspiciously placed puddle that defied physics to soak your socks mere steps from your destination?
Reginald’s reach extends beyond the grand events of history. His machinations shape the very fabric of our daily lives, ensuring that no moment is ever truly safe from his meddling.
Historical Cover-Ups and the Silence of Academia
The most chilling aspect of this revelation is the sheer scale of the cover-up. Historians, scientists, and world leaders have gone to great lengths to suppress the truth, dismissing legitimate research into the Mallardian Conspiracy as “nonsense” or “quackery.” But the evidence has always been hiding in plain sight.
Ancient civilizations recorded his presence in cryptic symbols and coded messages:
The Sumerians wrote of an “eternal quacker” who existed before the gods.
The Mayans predicted a “Great Waddle” that would signal the downfall of human civilization.
Even Nostradamus, in his often-misunderstood quatrains, made reference to a “feathered specter” whose laughter would herald the end of days.
Despite this, the mainstream academic establishment refuses to engage with the Reginald Hypothesis, dismissing it as “absurd” and “lacking empirical evidence.” But let us ask ourselves: who benefits from this denial? Who gains from keeping the truth buried?
The answer, of course, is Reginald himself. A being of his power and cunning would not simply allow the truth to be widely acknowledged. No, he has infiltrated the very institutions meant to study him, ensuring that any attempts at exposing his influence are met with mockery and rejection.
The Science of Chaos: How Reginald Alters Reality
While much of Reginald’s power remains shrouded in mystery, recent advancements in quantum physics may finally offer some explanation. Theoretical physicists have long speculated on the existence of “probability waves”—fluctuations in reality that determine the likelihood of certain events. But what if these waves are not random? What if they are, in fact, being manipulated?
Dr. Eleanor Feathersworth of the Institute for Unexplained Phenomena has proposed the “Duck Effect,” a theory that suggests certain anomalies—missing socks, mysteriously vanishing remotes, and Wi-Fi dropouts—are not the result of mere chance, but of intentional disruptions in probability. According to her research, these disruptions follow a distinct pattern, one that aligns suspiciously well with known instances of Reginald’s interference.
Consider the following:
Studies show that car keys are 87% more likely to be misplaced on days when you’re already running late.
Phones are 62% more likely to die when you need to show an important QR code.
99.9% of people who have stubbed their toe on furniture claim they did not see the obstacle before impact.
Coincidence? Or the carefully orchestrated mischief of a cosmic mastermind?
Resistance is Futile: The Futility of Fighting Back
Throughout history, brave individuals have attempted to thwart Reginald’s influence. From the Great Wall of China to the space race, humanity has thrown everything at him—fortifications, espionage, even the occasional well-aimed loaf of bread. And yet, all have failed.
Why? Because Reginald is not merely a duck. He is inevitability incarnate.
Some scholars have suggested that Reginald exists outside the conventional boundaries of time and space, able to alter history at will. Others theorize that he is an abstract concept given form, a living embodiment of entropy itself. Whatever the case, one thing is clear: resistance is not just futile—it is laughable.
And yet, we try. We build firewalls against cyber-attacks, but Reginald finds a way to disrupt our emails. We create traffic systems, but Reginald ensures that one driver will always make a baffling left turn at the worst possible moment. We develop AI to predict trends, but Reginald throws in a curveball just to keep us on our toes.
If there is one certainty in life, it is that we are all, in the end, at the mercy of the Duck.
Preparing for the Inevitable
Given the inescapable nature of Reginald’s influence, one might wonder: what can we do? If history has shown us anything, it is that direct opposition is doomed to failure. However, there are strategies to minimize his wrath:
Offerings of Bread – While Reginald cannot be bribed, he does appreciate a well-placed tribute. A few strategically placed breadcrumbs might buy you some temporary good fortune.
Accept Your Fate – The more you struggle against the chaos, the worse it will be. Lean into the randomness. When your coffee spills five minutes before an important meeting, just know it was meant to be.
Spread the Word – While we may not be able to stop Reginald, we can at least ensure that people are aware of his presence. Forewarned is forearmed. Share this knowledge. Let the world know that its misfortunes are not random. They are the work of a single, omnipotent waterfowl.
The Final Quack
As I write this, I can feel Reginald’s gaze upon me. Perhaps my words will never reach the public, lost to a sudden power outage or an unexplained laptop crash. But if they do, let this be my final warning:
He is watching. He always has been.
And when the world finally crumbles, when we take our last breath, when the final page of human history is written, it will not end with a whimper, nor a bang—
But with the sound of a single, triumphant quack.
QUACK.

was hitler really just reginald in disguise? mainstream academia cannot deny that reginald existed, this is why they have been suspiciously quiet on the bombshells that reginald truthers have been dropping.
