ATTENTION ALL HOLMESIANS, SHERLOCKIANS AND HISTORY NERDS!
Stuff you missed in History Class: Who was the real Professor Moriarty? Part 1
Professor Moriarty was based on a real man: Adam Worth. After being falsely reported as dead during the Civil War, Worth began a life of crime. When Worth moved to London he began his Moriarty phase, but his peculiar criminal quirks led to his near ruin.
Their podcasts are fantastic and informative and FREE! If you can’t listen to it now, download it from itunes or the website howstuffworks.com. Erm, not mine! :DD
Agh, we’ve been meaning to post about this episode for awhile! Everyone go listen!

for those not in the know, night witches were russian lady bombers who bombed the shit out of german lines in WW2. Thing is though, they had the oldest, noisiest, crappest planes in the entire world. The engines used to conk out halfway through their missions, so they had to climb out on the wings mid flight to restart the props. the planes were also so noisy that to stop germans from hearing them combing and starting up their anti aircraft guns, they’d climb up to a certain height, coast down to german positions, drop their bombs, restart their engines in midair, and get the fuck out of dodge.
their leader flew over 200 missions and was never captured.
how the fuck is this not taught in every single history class ever
According to Wikipedia, only 30 members of the regiment died in combat.

Just had a friend messaging me on fb like I’m a dealer and she needs a hit of smutty fanfiction.
I’m like, “SURE NAME A FANDOM.”
She goes, “Avengers.”
Me: “PICK A PAIRING, ANY PAIRING. Ya want het? We got some het. Slash? Gurl, please, that’s easy. Slash grows in any fandom that’s got a thirty-second teaser trailer. Femmeslash, now that’s trickier, but I can hook you up, sure. Now, if you really want the hard stuff, let me find you some ot3/poly fics. We got a new brand, call it the ‘Stark Spangled Banner.’ Catchy, ain’t it? It doesn’t have the kick of Hawkeye/Widow-in-Budapest, but it’s pretty much the freshest pairing you can find right now…”
…I am a terrible human being u guise.
And now I’m envisioning if, like, hardcore CISPA passed or something and the fandom was huddling on street corners trading fanfic on flash drives organized by fandom, pairing, and kink.
I can’t. I love you, Saathi. xD
And the oldschool BOFQs would break out their ‘zine equipment, like, “Yes, I knew this day would come…”
*giggles madly*
