The Swashbuckling History of Women Pirates.

The McDonalds Monopoly Fraud: from 1995 to 2001, there was only one real winner - Uncle Jerry.

T'was the eighteenth of April in seventy-five: The midnight ride of William Dawes and Samuel Prescott (and Paul Revere)



ICYMI, Friday's links are here, and include Cadbury Egg history, marshmallow peep violence, the anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's assassination (and the eyewitness who appeared on TV in 1956), a first-person account of the sinking of the Titanic, and lots of creepy Easter Bunny photos.
