Astounding, the amount of destruction humanity has caused and survived. Miraculous.

The Best Catcher in Baseball History is a man (probably Irish) with his coracle (a wooden-framed skin/leather-covered boat).

Im British-American and didn't know what a coracle was until I found this photo. Very interesting story but every week I put one lighthearted caption on a photo just to have fun... This was this weeks photo and silly caption. Apparently, most of the comments from this week's video seem to be from people who don't realize that ... and they actually thought I seriously thought this was a glove .... ROFL !!!@@cheshirebowman4465

Loved it!

That image of Hitchcock as Ringo Starr was as bizarre as it was funny. Maybe present-day Ringo could put a fake belly under a suit and do a Hitchcock profile impersonation as payback.

That was great! Thanks so much.

My regular viewers are aware that I occasionally throw in a humorous caption just to break things up and have some fun. Some people aren’t aware, others don’t have a sense of humor…. Some think I’m not funny. Those last ones are wrong 😃

all those people want to watch a public hanging. how gross and unhuman.

Unfortunately, its very human. For centuries executions were the biggest draw at events. If you were to hold a live execution at any one of the world's giant stadiums today, I'd wager that tickets would sell out faster than a Michael Jackson concert. Not a nice thought but it's who we are I'm afraid.

Humor … it’s not for everyone !

It is sad so see what masses came to see executions. I hope it has got more to do with our fear of death than our wish to see spectacles (such as motorcycling in a cylinder with a lion in the sidecar).

@AmazingHistoricalPhotos

It's the spectacle. Romans went to the Circus not to see chariots race .. but to see crashes (known then as "Shipwrecks") They went to the amphitheater to see blood. Executions have existed since day one ... and will still exist at the end of humanity. There will always be someone wanting to watch it.

The Christmas in the Trenches WW1 were German soldiers. Look at their helmets!! And it sure would be nice if there was a way for you to have the photo info listed without the white banner covering part of the picture - sometimes important to the picture. How about white lettering thst lets the picture show fully? Just asking.

Yep that Alfred Hitchcock was a Monster he'd do anything to terrorfiy young Girls, !!!

"On August 14, 1936, an African-American man named Rainey Bethea was publicly hanged in Owensboro, Kentucky. Bethea was convicted of raping and killing Lischia Edwards, a 70-year-old woman, and confessed to the crime. In 1938, Kentucky abolished hanging after as many as 20,000 people witnessed Bethea's execution."
