That'll Do

The great thing about other cultures, aside from the food obviously, are their wonderfully whimsical and sometimes unhinged phrases.

The man, the myth, the outlaw mummy

Adventure for Elmer McCurdy did not stop just because he died. Arguably, his afterlife was more interesting than his alive life. However, his time alive was also fascinating and giving Wild Wild West

Elmer McCurdy was an Oklahoma outlaw who was bad at being a criminal, although that did not stop him from trying. Inevitably, it led to his demise and kicked off a bizarre 66-year postmortem road trip before he was finally laid to rest. Best or worst road trip ever? 

Elmer McCurdy was the little bandit who couldn’t, but boy did he try

Part 2 continues the story of Nellie Bly- covering her 10 dreadful days in Blackwell’s Insane Asylum and what came of it

Investigative journalist Nellie Bly went where no one had dared before—and lived to tell the tale. Disturbing rumors plagued Blackwell’s Island, New York’s infamous insane asylum: inhumane treatment, cost‑cutting so extreme that prisoners served as attendants, and more. But what was fact, and what was fiction?

In 1887, when men ruled the reporting industry, Nellie Bly defied every expectation. She didn’t just chase the story—she became the story, going undercover as a patient inside Blackwell’s Island. Against all odds, she got in… and she got out.
