Lions and Tigers and Bears... Ohio?
The Zanesville Zoo Massacre made global news. It also thrust into daylight, if only for a brief moment, a secret world of privately owned exotic animals living off the grid, and often right next door.

"Tracing one warm line,
Through a land so wild and savage,
And make a Northwest Passage to the sea..."
Maritime lore abounds with stories of ghost ships, those ships that sail the world’s oceans manned by a ghostly crew and destined never to make port.
Only the bravest of souls attempted passage through the Arctic and the North-western waters.

To say that Broadmoor sounds like a dark place would obviously be an understatement. Not only are the people confined there dealing with their own personal demons... They are often exposed to demons of a very real nature too.
People like a doctor who contributed to the Oxford English Dictionary, a man who shoved the arm of his glasses down his penis, And TV host Jimmy Saville...
They all spent time inside the walls of the Broadmoor Criminal Lunatic Asylum. Some as patients... others as supposed carers.

"When I was your age, we didn't backpack around Europe. We bombed it..."
-A quote that was on a meme I saw, so not actually a quote but makes a solid point.
We can tend to live sheltered lives these days. Removed by the force of time from events that so drastically shaped the world we live in today.
When compared to some of the things soldiers in the Pacific Theatre during WWII had to face we live in an idyllic future straight out of sci-fi... We only enjoy this degree of normality because of what some people sacrificed.

"Murder at the South Pole" is the kind of headline that newspapers can't resist.
The people that choose to "winterover" at the South Pole in Antarctica are known as "polies", and they have a saying:
"What happens on the ice stays on the ice"
To them, to try to help outsiders understand what life is like there is an antithesis to why one goes there in the first place.
For somewhere that doesn't see sunlight for eight months at a time, shady things still go on.

It was December of 1915, the setting: Japan.
Bear sightings among the rural villages were common at the time. The Ussuri Brown Bear, a cousin of the Grizzly, typically left humans alone, only occasionally breaking into village food stores.
But something was different about this particular bear.

The cosmos is pretty indifferent to our struggles. We are, after all, just an advanced breed of talking monkey. Attempting to blast our way off our spinning floaty space-rock.
If we can just make the bang-stick go "boom" just the right way we can fly to the sky, yeah?
In reality, we are only just beginning to explore space. And it will cost us more lives in the future.

Katherine Mary Knight is the first Australian woman to be sentenced to life imprisonment without parole. She was convicted of the murder of her partner, John Charles Thomas Price, in October 2001.
She stabbed him to death and then skinned him. She then put his skin on a meat hook, cooked his head and parts of his body, and placed them together with vegetables on plates with place-cards with his children's names.
Sounds like a lovely woman, right?
