In the world of Strange Company, life is not a bowl of cherries.
It is a patch of catnip.
On to this week's Collection of Curious Chronicles:
What the hell was this 17th century Russian fireball?
What the hell did these monks leave behind them?
What the hell is this Martian pothole?

Watch out for that froggy drinking water!

A letter between two WWI widows, 1915.

That wraps it up for this week. See you on Monday, when, in honor of St. Patrick's Day, I'll be presenting the story of a mysterious death on an Irish island. In the meantime, I can also be found on Facebook and Twitter, doing...well, nothing even remotely interesting, now that I think of it. Never mind.
