20,000 Bodies Were Found Buried In The Middle Of A New York City Park rnkr.co/NYCBodies

   

For the grave to be 200 years old that means its from around 1808. And that time period was very harsh to be alive. And the formation of mass graves usually follows a large number of deaths for it to be unfeasible to have individual ceremonies and burials. These events are usually war, disease outbreaks, famine and other mass casualty events.

Or, IMHO, having Governor Cuomo as Your Governor...

Salvador Dali Drove a Car Filled with Cauliflower
There are so many incredible stories about Salvador Dali and his antics.
The pet ocelot.
The most famous mustache of all time.
The time he almost suffocated inside a deep sea diving helmet while trying to explain surrealism.
The whole interview with Merv Griffin. Perhaps the performance that was most “out there”, however, was his trip to Paris in a car filled with cauliflower.

Did you know??
Popeye the Sailor Man really existed.....
His real name was Frank "Rocky" Fiegel. He was born in 1868 in Poland. He was a retired sailor contracted by Wiebusch's tavern in the city of Chester, Illinois, to clean and maintain order. He had a reputation to be always involved in fighting, so he had a deformed eye ("Pop-eye"). He always smoked his pipe, so he spoke only with one side of his mouth. He loved to be around children. There is no accounting of his imaginary adventures which boasts about the exploits of his physical strength, ensuring he never lost a fight. The author of Popeye, Elzie Crisler Segar, born in Chester, met Frank when where the young man was to listen to their stories and years later honored him with the character Popeye the Sailor Man. Olive Oil also existed, she was Dora Paskel, owner of a grocery store in Chester. She is also described to dress just like Olive Oil. Segar kept in touch with Frank and had always helped him with money. Frank and Popeye also carried some inherent features like courage, chivalry and virility.

He reminds me of a few characters I grew up around in a village back home ( I don't mean they were similar but...just extremely unique characters you would never forget even if you were 3 years old or a 100 years old ... I love stories like these....
