Serial Killer Nannie Doss Known as the "Giggling Granny" for her eerily cheerful demeanor, Nannie Doss was secretly a serial killer who had brutally murdered four husbands, two children, two sisters, her mother, two grandsons, and her mother-in-law between the 1920s and 1950s. Poison was her weapon of choice, and she snuck it into everything from moonshine to coffee to prune cakes to discreetly kill her unsuspecting victims. After their deaths, Doss was often able to collect their insurance money
Funny Reaction of Yakini, a Baby Gorilla in the Melbourne Zoo Take a look at this photo of Yakini responding to a stethoscope if you need any more evidence that humans are comparable to apes. We’ve all been there. The doctor uses their cold stethoscope, and it’s as if you’ve been transported to Antarctica in a matter of seconds. Yakini, who was born in 1999 and grew up in the spotlight while living at Melbourne’s Werribee Open Range Zoo, is now the group’s leader. According to his caretaker, Kat Thompson, as Yakini grew older, it was only inevitable that he would challenge his father for the role of the group leader. The situation lasted many months, but it was a delicate one—more of a confrontation of wills than of brawn. It’s wonderful to watch the natural circle of life.
Comedy Duo Laurel and Hardy With an insane number of short and feature films under their belts, Laurel and Hardy were some of the most popular comedic duos of the early twentieth century. The duo’s last film performance was in 1951, but by 1954, the men’s careers were all but gone. Hardy had a heart condition that year and dropped 150 pounds as a result. He was also dealing with other illnesses. Hardy had a series of strokes a year after this picture was taken, leaving him in a coma until his last day in August of 1957. Stan Laurel gave an interview about their connection a week after his companion left us, and he spoke fondly of his buddy.
The Steam Line KJ Henderson Motorcycle of 1930 It looks like a bike a superhero would ride, doesn’t it? The bike seems like it would be a lot of fun to ride, but the 1930 Henderson Model KJ Streamline was very unsuitable and difficult to operate. This conventional motorcycle looked very similar to Triumph’s and Indian’s versions that were manufactured in the early 1900s. That, of course, was due to these bikes being simpler to handle and cheaper to manufacture. However, looking at this bike, one may admire the refined Art Deco style. During the early stages of development, the bike’s curved panels were shaped in the same manner as the Chrysler Airflow.
Something cold would be very welcome at the moment as I am sweltering here with the sun still blazing down on my lounge and kitchen.
