A Spurious Nib Halloween

In 1899 Billy Flanagan wrapped his sister Mary like a mummy 

and charged people 2 cents each to hear him delivery his scary Halloween soliloquy, “To The Mummy.”

You may not know that Martin Luther’s 95 Thesis was posted on the equivalence of a bulletin board.

You might be interested in some spurious history in that one week later the 95 Thesis were replaced by an ad from Nun Katharina von Bora , “For sale: one used rosary, Available at the Cistercian monastery of Marienthron in Nimbschen.”

On this date in 1756, Josefus Paczko was voted

“The Gosh, Darn, Nicest Werewolf in all of Slovakia!”
