Well... that happened
Smaller and interesting events through history. Odd stories which have been overlooked. Strange people with odd ambitions. Zealous warlords and errant priests. The gamut of humanity is here.
Also daily (Mon - Thurs) quick hits of dumb crime, idiot inventions, bizarre beliefs and all the oddities I can think of and trust me, I can think of a lot.
