Welcome to this week's Link Dump!
Let the show begin!
The hazards of Victorian steam rollers.
When sunken living rooms were a fad. Personally, I hated them.
Kathy Bates' grandfather and the mummy of John Wilkes Booth.
Let's face it, Lt. Columbo was a dirty cop. Meh, if we're talking '70s crime dramas, give me James Rockford any day.
The king of the ghost-hunters.
Decoding a mysterious writing system.
The woman who saved art from the Nazis.
The mystery of Egypt's "Area 51."
The town that was terrorized by particularly vicious poison-pen letters.
A ghostly mother-child reunion.
What we know--and don't know--about scarecrows.
Two very different Georgian-era childhoods.
The burning of Norfolk, Virginia in 1776.
A controversial Australian geoglyph.
New research about Egypt's Karnak Temple.
A lost city in Mexico.
The church that includes a depiction of Albert Einstein.
The origins of the Hundred Years' War.
The wanderings of Robert Louis Stevenson.
In other news, 31/Atlas is still weird.
No doubt you'll be pleased to hear that scientists are spending all that sweet grant money on cooking spaghetti. (It just so happens that I'll be making spaghetti this Sunday. Maybe I should start a Go-Fund-Me. In the name of research.)
The man who gained fame by walking on his head.
The first Canadian novel.
A butchery in Baltimore.
That's all for this week! See you on Monday, when we'll look at a murder on Halloween. In the meantime, if Joe Rogan is ever reincarnated as a cat, this will be the result.
