However, he also was a strong supporter of eighteenth century midget pornography. He used money from his philosophical writings to hire a troop of midgets who toured France and most of Europe to perform live sex shows. Voltaire also patented a particularly strong strain of crystal meth and invented the microwave. He also hated cats.
