Did you know that in 1902, August Engelhardt travelled from Germany to a small island in the South Pacific and tried to build a community based mostly in worship of the sun, being naked all the time, and literally only eating coconuts? He tried for seventeen years. Oh yeah. This is a weird one.

Jim Bakker, and his wife, Tammy Faye, revolutionized tele-evangelism in the 1970s and 1980s. Their PTL Club, was, at it's height, pulling in millions a WEEK in donations to support their cause. But their cause was a lie. Jim was not who he claimed to be, and financial and sexual improprieties would send him to prison... before he got out and started running his scam all over again.

Do you have a plan in mind for what you would do in a doomsday event like nuclear war, alien invasion, a deadly plague, Terminator Skynet style "robots have turned against humanity" scenario, etc.? Some people do. Some very rich people. And it's insane what they're building in case everything goes off the rails.

From 1977 to 1980, Joseph Paul Franklin went on a multi-state murder and mayhem spree, bombing a synagogue, shooting at people exiting another, and shooting interracial couples, lone black men, women who had previously dated black men, and a white porn magazine owner for publishing nude photos of an interracial couple. All in a delusional attempt to ignite a race war.

Ervil LeBaron was raised by a cult leader... would have several brothers who were cult leaders...and would father several more cult leaders. And out of all of them, he was the worst. The Mormon Manson loved to call for blood atonement - ordering the execution of between 20 and 30 people, many of them rival cult leaders.

Have you ever heard of disturbing serial killer Richard Byrd? He raped and strangled eight young women to death in Las Vegas between 1991 and 2001, but almost no one has heard of him, because he was arrested... the day after 9/11. And he took a plea bargain and never went to trial. Hear his wild story today... and never think about hair brushes the same way again.
