Random Thoughts for March

I have seen several documentaries on H.H. Holmes and I think Leonardo Dicaprio would play him quite well. I would go see a movie based on Holmes’ killing spree. Dr. X is based on it but I want to see a film about the actual killer and Victorian/Edwardian life around him, his murder hotel, and possibly a steampunk flair.

Historians and researchers typically believe serial killers did not come about until the late nineteenth century except for rare cases like Elizabeth Bathory. That cannot be true. The only reason we see more of it is due to the growth of cities. I am sure serial killers simply roamed or it was not recorded because there were not enough methods to detect murder.

It is amazing how many famous serial killers were never executed. I am not just talking about people sentenced to life in prison or got away from their crimes. But people who were sentenced to death and either killed themselves in jail or other inmates killed them like John Wayne Gacy and Jeffrey Dalmer.

Starbolts #302: Southern Charms

 

Be it ever so humble, there’s no place like home! And it looks like our resident speedster, Bluestreak just might be seeing a fellow teammate in a different light. Could love be in the air for the Boston speedster and the Southern belle?  I’ve hinted the two potentially hooking up every once in a while and I’ve been toying with the idea of making them a couple. Perhaps I should let fate decide. Then again, I already have quite a few couples in the comic already in the form of M’anta/Jenna, Aquita/Mateo and Kevin/Angela. This one, though, we might be able to see develop over time. So, there’s that. Besides, I kinda want to give my characters a break. Poor Bluestreak has been through the wringer since Aquarius and that isn’t counting what happened with Jaro. No, I am talking about the incident with Gee-Nome. Well, we shall see what happens with Crystal and Marcus in the future. Maybe I’ll flip a coin to decide their fate. =) Maybe I can make this an experiment. We shall see….

The Unemployed Historian – The “Irish Slaves” Meme

A questionable 2008 article has turned into an internet meme that puts forward the idea that Irish people were used as slaves in the Caribbean – But is that really the case?

For more information see the work of Liam Hogan whose work was instrumental in this videos production and from whom many of the screen-caps used in this video were sourced.
