"...we should pass over all biographies of 'the good and the great,' while we search carefully the slight records of wretches who died in prison, in Bedlam, or upon the gallows."

Weekend Link Dump

 

"The Witches' Cove," Follower of Jan Mandijn

It's time for this week's Link Dump!

Game on!


Yet another marriage that ends in murder.

The first American to be fatally hit by a car.

Fun with handcuffs!

The election battles which followed the battle of Bosworth.

The complicated history of America's oldest tombstone.

Why Jane Goodall believes in the afterlife.

Let's talk Beer Duels.

Let's talk fossil frauds.

The questions surrounding a female Civil War soldier.

Remembering "The Sorrows of Young Werther."

Images of a "ghost city" in the Pacific Ocean.

Ghost laying in Shropshire.

The woman who inspired Betty Boop.

The women who made 18th century condoms.

The incredible career of a 16th century knight.

Paging you "intelligent design" fans:  Our DNA is basically a computer.

Mourning the unmourned.

Some mysterious French Neanderthals.

We now know who was buried in a lead coffin under Notre Dame.  And he wasn't a vampire.  Bummer.

The ghost of the Taft White House.

The "Raphael of Cats."

The wonders of sea sponges.

That's it for this week!  See you on Monday, when we'll look at an "anatomy murder" that pre-dated Burke and Hare.  In the meantime, here's a bit of Bach.
