@@JohnDoe-vf2yo What's your source on him dying from a fentanyl OD? There were two autopsies, made by actual medical examiners (not some looney right wing conspiracy theorists), both of which appointed Floyd's cause of death as asphyxiation caused by compressions to his neck and back, which limited O2-flow to his brain. Recent fentanyl and methamphetamine use, did increase the chance of death, but was not the cause of it. If the police officer hadn't compressed his neck, Floyd would be alive today. Also, no one is saying he's a hero, he's a symbol against the racist behaviour of the US police forces. Don't pretend like his criminal record is some secret everyone is denying, it's just not relevant. This man did not deserve to die, because he paid with a fake 20$ bill, and if he had been a white man, he wouldn't have.

Maybe partially, though Joker as a character is about 50 years older than Harley Quinn. Also, Harley wasn't originally a love interest when introduced in Batman: The Animated Series. In the first episodes where she is included she refers to joker simply as "boss", the creators simply thought it would be fun to give the Joker a female henchman. I agree though. When they eventually decided to expand on Harley as a character, they must have taken some inspiration from Bonnie and Clyde.

When I was in Junior High, we would sing the song about Bonnie and Clyde on the bus on the way home. There was no one on the bus that didn’t know every word. I have no memory of why we knew such a morbid song but I can still sing it. Bonnie and Clyde were pretty lookin' people But I can tell you people They were the devil's children, Bonnie and Clyde began their evil doin' One lazy afternoon down Savannah way, They robbed a store, and high-tailed outa that town Got clean away in a stolen car, And waited till the heat died down, Bonnie and Clyde advanced their reputation And made the graduation Into the banking business. "Reach for the sky" sweet-talking Clyde would holler As Bonnie loaded dollars in the dewlap bag, Now one brave man-he tried to take 'em alone They left him Iyin' in a pool of blood, And laughed about it all the way home. Bonnie and Clyde got to be public enemy number one Running and hiding from ev'ry American lawman's gun. They used to laugh about dyin', But deep inside 'em they knew That pretty soon they'd be lyin' Beneath the ground together Pushing up daisies to welcome the sun And the morning dew. Acting upon reliable information A fed'ral deputation laid a deadly ambush. When Bonnie and Clyde came walking in the sunshine A half a dozen carbines opened up on them. Bonnie and Clyde, they lived a lot together And finally together they died,

If you asked the lawmen they probably would have said that they should have reloaded and emptied the guns again. Or if you asked the families of the police they killed some of which we're doing a routine check and didn't even know who they were and they would have said they could have been shot a few more times.

The costumes in the movie made a quite large impact on fashion at the time. Vintage 30s styles inspired by Bonnie became popular again. Fashion has always borrowed from the past, but having one particular catalyst like this is quite rare (and fun). It also happened more recently with the hairstyles from Peaky Blinders (you didn't think those shaved sides came out of thin air, did you?). I also have a suggestion for a Geographics topic; quick clay. It's usually quite solid, but will liquify under the right (wrong) conditions. It's terrifying, and more than 100 000 norwegians are living on top of it. Search for the Rissan slide if you want to learn more.

Got me on that add transition lol

The way Simon so smoothly transitions into the sponsors is perfectly ingenious and is becoming another rather enjoyable perk for his shows! Love the content Simon, ALL of it! Thankyou!

Two doors down from a bank they robbed in Ponder, there was the Ranchman’s cafe. The place had the best chicken fried steak, but it has closed until we get back to normal.

I'd love to see a Biographics on the Mauerova Family case.

It's funny how no one remembers nor cares about the murdered police officers and store clerks, but every detail of the criminal lives is remembered.

You wanna talk about one of police officers killed and how they used to hand black men over to the mob to get lynched? 🤣 Me too, let's talk about that

Could you guys do a video on the Gutian people?

Simon, please ask the powers that be (the writers) to do a Biographics on Sir Joseph Paxton. He got a mention in the Crystal Palace video over on Megaprojects but there's also many more cool things the guy achieved during his career!

On the theme of serial killer couples, could you do an episode on the Manchester Moors Murders (by Ian Brady and Myra Hindley), I find them chilling but would love to know more

I hopped a fence of a tiny cemetery just a few blocks from downtown Dallas to see Clyde's gravesite. I had cleaned up the overgrown grass and weeds from his headstone. Sad that Bonnie's family would not allow her to be buried next to Clyde. I wont lie, it was pretty cool to see.

Thanks you.

Texas Park Rangers! 😂 Do something on the Texas Rangers!

Bc of your videos on history I always surprise my friends on random history facts that I now know bc of you 😂

You should do biographics on Tokugawa Ieyasu
