True Crime! But Only The Bizarre Kind!!

Old Crininals I fully admit I try to get away with as much as I can. However, I don’t consider myself a crook. On the other hand, Bonnie and Clyde were considered heroes by the common man, because they robbed banks which took away people’s houses. Of course, those common folks never saw a bit …

Blast from the past Greetings from sixty-five-million-years ago. This is Mr. Ohh!-saurus, telling all you good people, I’m a dinosaur.

Colorful history In 1912 the first electric traffic light was installed in Cleveland, Ohio. Wow! That’s a great bit of trivia. But I’m betting you don’t really care all that much.
