Congratulations, you have been successfully subscribed to Eunuch Facts!
Did you know that historically eunuchs were invaluable as administrators and officials? Several sources say this was because it meant that those offices were a lot less likely to be hereditary, and therefore the power to appoint administrators and officials remained with the state!

WOW! That IS a fun fact!
For another helping: this is also why they were used in at least one culture I know of as servants to the Queen or the King’s consorts. Didn’t have to check paternity if you castrate every other man they ever see.
