“The City on the Edge of Forever,” widely regarded as one of the best episodes of The Original Series, presents a dilemma that blends time travel, love, and sacrifice. Captain Kirk, after chasing a time-altered Dr. McCoy through the Guardian of Forever, lands in 1930s New York where he meets Edith Keeler, played beautifully by Joan Collins. Keeler is a social worker whose pacifist ideals could delay U.S. entry into WWII, changing history. Kirk falls in love with her, but Spock discovers that her survival would alter the future catastrophically. The tragic solution? Kirk must let Edith die. The pain etched on William Shatner’s face as he stops McCoy from saving her remains one of the series’ most emotional performances. It was a turning point that showed Star Trek wasn’t afraid to let its heroes lose something precious for the greater good. Edith Keeler’s story remains a benchmark for Trek’s capacity for moral depth and emotional impact."
"Glowing wounds, famously known as Angel's Glow, refer to a phenomenon observed in soldiers during the Battle of Shiloh and other Civil War conflicts, where their wounds emitted a faint blue-green light and showed faster healing rates. This mystery was solved nearly 140 years later by high school students who discovered it was caused by the bioluminescent bacterium Photorhabdus luminescens, which produces antimicrobial compounds that help prevent infections, leading to better recovery in the cold, wet conditions of the battlefield."
"Groucho Marx suffered from severe insomnia. When he couldn't sleep, he would call his neighbor, Alice Cooper, and ask him to come over. Alice would bring over a six-pack of beer and Groucho and he would drink beer and watch old movies on TV until Groucho nodded off. (1974)"
Any old bullshit would get women committed back then.. "Deranged masturbation" lol
"A list of reasons why women were admitted to the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in Weston, West Virginia over a 25-year period of the 19th century. These reasons were logged into the asylum’s admission books."
The Crawfordsville Monster: Indiana’s Mysterious Sky Serpent of 1891
"Back in September 1891, the quiet town of Crawfordsville, Indiana, witnessed one of the most bizarre cryptid encounters ever reported. Locals described a massive, eel-like creature soaring through the night sky, leaving everyone both terrified and fascinated.
Eyewitnesses said the creature was about 20 feet long and 8 feet wide, with a violently flapping body, glowing red eyes, and several undulating fins along its sides—giving it an unmistakably serpentine appearance. Some even claimed it had no head but hot breath and glowing eyes.
The first sighting was at 2 a.m., seen by a reverend, his wife, and farmhands hovering above a manor. Just two days later, nearly 100 residents witnessed the creature flying over their town before it vanished into the night.
Theories about what the Crawfordsville Monster really was range from misidentified birds to strange atmospheric phenomena. But with so many credible witnesses describing such a unique creature, the mystery remains unsolved.
Why does it matter? The Crawfordsville Monster challenges our understanding of nature and continues to inspire cryptid hunters and mystery lovers alike."
Nope..."Eyewitnesses said the creature was about 20 feet long and 8 feet wide, with a violently flapping body, glowing red eyes, and several undulating fins along its sides.."
Yeah...with red eyes and fins! Sounds just like a flock of birds (flying at 2 AM!). I wonder if these 2 guys owned a gorilla suit. Oh, and then there's this:
"Based on the available information, killdeer do not engage in the specific behavior known as "murmuration." Murmuration refers to the coordinated, fluid movement of large flocks of birds, primarily associated with starlings, as they create mesmerizing patterns in the sky. Killdeer, while vocal and conspicuous, don't display this specific flocking behavior."
