    Rainfurrest 2015: Send In the Furries!

    Rainfurrest 2015: Send In the Furries!

    In 2015, a convention descended on the Seattle–Tacoma Airport Hilton Hotel. The 3-day gathering of Furries was meant to be a fun place to let your fur down... but some let the fur go too low. Public nudity, diaper fights, drugs, booze, cops, firefighters, ambulances, emergency plumbers –– this story has everything. And then some!

    None of Your Byzantium: Prince Henri

    None of Your Byzantium: Prince Henri

    A guy born in Italy moves to France and says he's the heir to the throne in Constantinople, then he heads to the United States to peddle fake titles. You know what that is? Ridiculous.

    Jeffrey Alan Manchester: The Roofman Cometh

    Jeffrey Alan Manchester: The Roofman Cometh

    Paratrooper Jeff Manchester used his skills to burgle Corporate America as The Roofman. First, he'd focused on McDonalds and other fast food. Then, like a criminal butterfly, he morphed into a Toys 'R' Us Man who built a secret apartment in an open store –– it was the ultimate inside job.

    Tonight There's Gonna Be a Jail Break: Two Escaper Boys

    Tonight There's Gonna Be a Jail Break: Two Escaper Boys

    Jack Shepherd was a petty, pretty thief. He wasn't very good at it, so he got caught a lot. And he escaped a lot. Just like Henry More Smith. He, too, couldn't stop stealing and couldn't stop freeing himself from prison life. These guys prove that you can't keep a good (well, at least non-violent) man down.

    Who Stole Our Big Boy?!

    Who Stole Our Big Boy?!

    He is an icon of midcentury America. He's cherubic. He's beloved. He's starred in Hollywood movies. And he's often stolen as a prank, but sometimes things turn darker –– but they always stay ridiculous.

    My Psychic, She Wrote Me a Letter: Maria Duval

    My Psychic, She Wrote Me a Letter: Maria Duval

    If you have psychic powers, you should see a scam coming a mile away. Not so for Maria Duval. The French psychic only wanted to use her powers for good, but three shady dealers used her name to create one of the world’s longest-running cons. Just because a letter has a coffee stain on it doesn't mean it's real.
