(Off-Topic) - 'Side Show Freaks' on History Channel right now.

[Uncle B]

if you're bored, flip over to the History Channel for a few minutes... I've seen most of this before, and it's actually pretty interesting.

They go back to all the infamous ''freaks'' of the early carnivals, how they were 'exploited' and how the ''freak show'' aspect of the carnivals, circus' etc., were shut down.


some pretty crazy shit...

Wasn't Butch a side show freak in the circus?

History channel had a bunch of good shit on yesterday actually.. Right after the side show freak thing, they had an hour-long special on the copmplete history of Wall Street.

the 'witch of wall street' was pretty interesting...curious how she knew to bnuy all the railroad stocks when she did.

From my understanding, thats all she did really, and wound up becomming the wealthiest woman in the US by doing so.


Funny too, is the name, 'Wall Street'..I always assumed it was named after someone named 'Wall'...lol

didn't know it was actually a "walled" street, to keep indians out..

Wish I had seen this. History Channel repeats lots of stuff so I'll watch for it.
