Did you know that to get paid by the mile, the Transcontinental Railroad was built with unnecessary curves and swerves, making it much longer than it needed to be? The man who led the bribery scheme to make it happen was nicknamed the "King of Spades."

We're reading old newspapers' advice to women.

Its a combination of stupidity and privilege that leads to some of these demands.

How much of a guilt trip did Thomas Jefferson have to inflict on his friend to convince him to go out and get these measurements?

This week’s episode “Allegendly Facts About Lost In Translation”.

Hopefully nothing is mistranslated.

So, just to be clear…

We are talking about politics.

“countless disputes arose over the question of her sex”

Charles Genevieve Louis Auguste Andre Timothee d'Eon was such a badass at doing pretty much everything it made men question her gender.

Sound familiar?

We couldn't help but make fun about how New York handled their rat problem.

They would constantly discuss "Going to war" against rats.

How could we not have a Lord of the Rings reference from that?

There was a job listing for the New York Rat Czar that asked, "How bloodthirsty are you"?

We talk about this and much more in our latest episode!

Can you figure out which facts are true and which are fake?

Someone responding our posts mentioned Anaconda, Montana

How could I resist not looking up newspapers from Anaconda, Montana.

They did not disappoint. Here is a segment out of an 1887 article about immegration.

It’s a copy of conservative anti-immigration rhetoric used now.

Out of all the horrific deaths and disasters we read in old newspapers, some of the more depressing things is how affordable these homes are.

And before you talk about conversion from 1903; $3,500 in 1903 has the same buying power as $125,480. Well below the $420,000 national average.

Between the rampant sexism and corporate propaganda; this was a very difficult article to read.

Just another historical example of how we got to where we are today.

1898 childbearing propaganda, when in doubt, blame women.

Why does this sound like it came directly out of The Daily Wire?

I don’t know about you, but I’m going to go see B. J. A. Sexty for all my blood, liver, neurological needs…

He’s a Dentist and a Chemist!

Got to love searching for potential funny podcast facts and then stumbling on a prolific wife murder.

They were calling him a "Modern Blue Beard".

I just wanted silly stories about frogs...

a "highly respected white man" dies because of factory accident.

Company is thankful to him that he did not hurt the machinery.

Company then brags at the end of the article about how they celebrated the 4th of July in a "safe and sane" way were no accidents.

Our research core finds weird things all the time, but we have no idea what is happening here.

Read an article about the extreme religious right attempting to change the constitution to reflect that we are solely a Christian nation.

Basically allowing church law to become constitutional law.

Very interesting description of what a “well regulated militia” would look like in 1916.

The way they describe these “musters” sounds genuinely like a military fashion show.
