Which 20th Century serial killer was dubbed the Butcher of Paris, the Demonic Ogre and Doctor Satan amongst others by the French Media? Marcel Petiot... it's a rollercoaster of an episode that has death, Nazis, French accents and RIDICULOUS SHENANIGANS (as described by Jaimi, the listener who suggested the topic).

Rome's third Emperor Caligula was arguably its craziest. It turns out being sex obsessed, violent, rich and all powerful isn't a great combination for the leader of the world's most powerful empire. From declaring war on the ocean to declaring himself a living god... He really had a lot of crazy antics.

In 1997 cash handling company Loomis Fargo experienced the two largest cash robberies ever committed on American soil. It wasn't a great year!

The first was a crime of opportunity, the second was a more planned affair. And yet, it turned out to be the most ridiculous heist in history. Seriously, the stupidity of the crime is unbelievable and also hilarious.
