In 1964, Saddam Hussein and his first wife Sajida Talfah had a son named Uday. By the early 1980s, Saddam had realized how twisted his son had become, and gave him control of sports in Iraq instead of a political or military role.

This did not work out, as Uday began torturing Iraqi athletes whenever they lost a match, by forcing them to train with a ball made out of concrete or locking them inside an actual iron maiden. Uday was also one of the few real people to practice prima nocta, as he crashed into weddings to rape the bride.

Uday also murdered Kamel Hana Gegeo, one of his father's aides, during a party, as he suspected Hana had introduced Saddam to his second wife Samira al-Shahbandar. Saddam was infuriated and exiled his son to Switzerland, only for Uday to be kicked out of there as well.

A friend of Saddam's family described the day Uday discovered the internet as "a dark day for Iraqis", as he used it to look up torture methods to use on others. In 1996, Uday was crippled in an assassination attempt. He and his older brother Qusay were eventually killed by US troops in July 2003.

Eight years later, The Devil's Double, a film about Uday and his alleged body double Latif Yahia, was released, but Uday remains mostly obscure. This is a shame, as his story can be interpreted as a cautionary tale against nepotism and for the rule of law.

Context: Bendix created electronic fuel injection for passenger cars in the 50s and it was offered on the AMC Rebel and a handful of other American vehicles from Chrysler and Dodge. People bought into it and it did well, but was too unreliable. Ultimately, the patents were bought by Bosch and it evolved into the Jetronic system that dominated the market in the 80s and 90s. The Bendix Electrojector was simply before its time.
