ReplyDeleteSo I'm am otr fan.
Another good collection. I like the story about the captain of Kopenick; he even has a statue in his honour. The fake epidemic in World War Two Poland brings to mind Syndrome K; it may make an interesting article for Strange Company, though I am still of two minds as to whether the scam actually occurred. The story of penicillin's discovery is very interesting, and the explanations are intriguing. The Beardmore relics... Oh, well. Nice try. But still in Canada: the Habsburg jewels? Really? Wow. I'm glad they were brought into the public eye at last.
