"...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."

Welcome to the Link Dump!  Our host for this week is Muggins!

ALL HAIL MUGGINS!



A woman's murder of her sister.

Why it took so long for you to be able to look at the bones of St. Francis.

Did the Vikings visit Maine?

The grim history of "Ring Around the Rosie."

A look at the London of Charlie Chaplin's childhood.

The mystery of "terminal lucidity."

Mutiny on a Dutch warship.

The "pitchfork poisoning."

Friendly fire incidents in WWII.

The puzzling murder of the Schultz children.

Some ancient health tips.

The first fatal airplane crash.

Poe's "mechanical imagination."

Fake photography in the Victorian era.

A brief history of dowries.

John Dee's library.

The long history of going down rabbit holes.

In praise of burial shoes.

That's all for this week!  See you on Monday, when we'll look at a young man's remarkably perplexing disappearance.  In the meantime, here's more 1960s pop.
