Weekend Link Dump

 


Welcome to this week's Link Dump!

I'm sure our host this week needs no further introduction.  The caption says it all.



A medieval anti-war satire.

Mysterious meat shower?  Or vulture vomit?

The paranormal side of the Cold War.

Ernest Hemingway, boxing, and, uh, salad dressing.

The man who blew up a nuclear power station.

Mystery in a medieval tomb.

More proof that scientists have way too much spare time on their hands.  (Note to self:  When any scientist offers me bread, check the recipe very very carefully.)

An "impossible" sword from the Bronze Age.

A bizarre medical scandal.

The first viral crop circle.

A disappearance in Pennsylvania.

A brief history of Wonder Bread.

A brief history of "hand mnemonics."

George Washington's beer recipe.

A disgrace at sea.

The women of the American Revolution.

WWII's Operation Sea Lion.

Was there a Jack the Strangler?

The 19th century Grand Prix de Paris.

The ship that conquered the Northwest Passage.

Some fatal weddings.

A 12th century liturgical comb.

Mysterious airborne saboteurs in WWI.

One heck of a medieval barn.

That's all for this week!  See you on Monday, when we'll look at the bizarre murder of a teenage girl.  In the meantime, let's dance!

  1. The barn at Harmondsworth shows how wonderful builders of medieval England and Europe could be; fascinating. The story of Britain's defeat of Operation Sealion - before it happened - is a good one. Such determination by the British. I've always been suspicious of Wonder Bread... I remember when Newman's Own started; a good cause indeed.
