Here are two sad stories about Bill Kurtis. 1) He was filling in on a Topeka TV station in 1966 when an F5 tornado hit. He became famous for yelling “FOR GOD’S SAKE TAKE COVER” but maybe he saved some lives that night. 2) His son was mentally ill and Bill and his wife bought some land so the son could have a lot of…
You wanna get really freaked out? Here is one way someone might not know she is pregnant...two uteri. One uterus can have normal periods while the other uterus is SURPRISE PREGNANT
My favorite re-enactment show wasn’t actually a crime show, but “I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant.”
Before I even read the responses, I’d like to say it’s nice for once to read an article about the true crime genre that isn’t chockablock with disdain. I love ID as well, even though I don’t have much time to watch. When Serial was a frequent topic of discussion, I got so tired of commenters who professed they were…
Maybe it was on a This American Life or something. I’m at work so no googling
I agree. I came of age in the 70’s, and I didn’t hear my women friends (I’m a woman) complaining about commitment-phobic men until about 1983 or so.
You’re right. In another thread, above, I posted a link to Augustus Caesar’s “Julian Marriage Laws” of 18 B.C.E. Mind you, the Roman Empire at that time had never heard of Christianity (it didn’t exist yet) or “Abrahamic Religions.” They decided screwing around without commitment was bad for the military because they…
Is that a sex toy? That’s a sex toy isn’t it. I want one.
This is so weird, but I read one time that some (don’t know what percentage) of men were like that with porn tapes they rented back in the day. They wanted to be the only one who ever rented that porn tape!
Magazines have been doing that forever. Of course, they’re edited, written, and published in Manhattan.
I always imagined I would answer that sort of thing thusly: “I’m so tired of dating successful assholes...I’m so glad to meet a guy who’s maybe not that great of shakes in the success department but is more the guy next door.”
I had a couple of exes and past dates try that shit. My response was always “Go GET someone as wonderful as her then” and I was out of there. I felt they knew what they were trying to do—make me feel bad. With the last one, I tried to be “cool” about it and not react, so he would double down and needle me and try to…
Yikes...that’s so eerie (especially if it had been a very long time since they’d seen each other and never probably expected to see each other again)
This Texas chick got away with it ... until she confessed to a friend
I’m reminded of the first child of Fred Phelps to fly the coop. He had help. His boss at a job, I think, helped him buy a car secretly and offered a place to stay until he could get on his feet. He hid the car a few blocks away and sneaked out in the middle of the night. It took a lot of planning and, again, help—and…
This is off the subject, but it’s a different side of parents following their children to school. Again, it’s not the same situation at all. But during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many Native American children were taken from their parents and forced to attend boarding schools. Their families would camp…
