Newsletters for Fun & No Profit

Our Wonderfully Weird World #2

A free daily newsletter of fascinating yet obscure true facts, digestible in 60 seconds or less (or fewer, if you’re a stickler for grammar).

Image created by the author

Three new Wonderfully Weird bits of obscure but true facts for you to enjoy. But don’t dilly dally; you’ve only got 60 seconds. Then you have to get back to work. They’re watching, you know. They’re always watching.

1. Royal Imposters:

After the French Revolution, over 100 imposters claimed to be Marie Antoinette’s deceased son, Louis XVII, who died at 10 years old and was buried in a mass grave.

People will make up any story for a chance to get some cake.

2. Napoleon vs. Bunnies:

Napoleon Bonaparte was once attacked by a horde of bunnies during a rabbit hunt. Instead of running away, the bunnies charged at him and his men.
