THE FIRST ALL-STAR GAME with author Randall Sullivan What happens when a botched assassination attempt on a president, the “Outfit,” the Great Depression, and the Legend of Babe Ruth collide in Chicago? Author Randall Sullivan reveals how the first so-called “Game of the Century” helped pull America out of its darkest era. Discover the untold history of baseball's first All-Star Game and the legends that shaped the sport. In 1933, an assassin fired six bullets at President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt in Miami. Every single bullet missed FDR, but they fatally struck Chicago Mayor Anton Cermak. Out of the political chaos of that assassination, a city's desperation to escape the shadow of Al Capone's crime syndicate, and the darkest, most terrifying days of the Great Depression, an unbelievable gamble was born. To save the city's morale, a new mayor and a sports editor dreamed up the ultimate distraction: the first Major League Baseball All-Star Game. The Book THE FIRST ALL-STAR GAME: Babe Ruth, FDR, and America at the Crossroads (Atlantic Monthly Press, June 2, 2026) Summary Brian O'Leary sits down with three-time Pulitzer Prize nominee Randall Sullivan to discuss his new book, THE FIRST ALL-STAR GAME: Babe Ruth, FDR, and America at the Crossroads (Atlantic Monthly Press, June 2, 2026). Sullivan explains that the book was born from his discouragement over modern political polarization, leading him to research how the United States survived the Great Depression. The conversation traces the chain reaction of events that created the 1933 Chicago World's Fair and the first-ever All-Star Game. This includes a Miami assassination attempt on President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt that resulted in the death of Chicago Mayor Anton Cermak. Throughout the episode, we dive into the towering mythos of Babe Ruth, noting that his absence in 1925 caused American League attendance to plummet. We also explore the cultural fallout of the 1919 Black Sox scandal, the iron-fisted rule of Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis, and the forgotten legacies of players like Chuck Klein and Lefty O'Doul. Key Takeaways The Origins of the All-Star Game: The 1933 game was staged as a one-off exhibition for the Chicago World's Fair. It was pitched by sports editor Arch Ward to Mayor Edward Nash to boost morale after Mayor Cermak's tragic death. Babe Ruth's Unmatched Stardom: Ruth's absence due to illness in 1925 caused American League attendance to drop by 34%. Furthermore, he holds the top three WAR (Wins Above Replacement) seasons in Major League history. That's just the tip of the iceberg of the Ruthian Legend (and reality). The Black Sox Legacy: The 1919 scandal resulted in a complicated trial where players were acquitted by a working-class jury. However, Judge Landis later banned them for life, restoring baseball's image in the eyes of the outraged American public. Overlooked Baseball Legends: Sullivan argues that Lefty O'Doul deserves Hall of Fame recognition. O'Doul not only hit .398 with 254 hits in a 154-game season, but he was also instrumental in bringing baseball to Japan and in developing it there.

Memorable Quotes “If Michael Jordan had been injured in a season, maybe NBA attendance would've dropped by 3.4%… but without Babe Ruth, it dropped by 34%.” – Randall Sullivan “I want people to understand… that this was more than a game. And it was more than the inauguration of a tradition. It was a turning point in American history.” – Randall Sullivan Resources Mentioned THE FIRST ALL-STAR GAME: Babe Ruth, FDR, and America at the Crossroads (Atlantic Monthly Press, June 2, 2026).

By 1888, the race to power America's cities had become a battle between the rival visions of Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla. But when the powerful industrialist George Westinghouse threw his weight behind Tesla and his AC system, what had been a personal falling out became something far larger – a war over the future of electricity itself. Their bitter fight spilled into courtrooms, ignited a national debate about capital punishment, and culminated in a fierce competition for the contract to illuminate the most ambitious event of the decade: the Chicago World's Fair.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

There's an ancient Roman column in Chicago hidden in plain sight near Soldier Field. It was a gift given by Italian Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini during the 1933-1934 Chicago World's Fair, commemorating a daring transatlantic flight to the fair by Italian Air Marshal Italo Balbo. In a time when controversial monuments get removed, why does this one still stand?

In this short podcast episode, Bryan is back for yet another history lesson. This time, the subject is the current war with Tesla, Edison, and Westinghouse. The current war was fought in the late 1800s with lightbulbs, electrocutions, and a World's Fair that dazzled the entire world. Edison didn't necessarily invent the lightbulb, but he made it commercially viable by inventing the infrastructure needed to make it work; electricity worked one way and performed well in small cases. However, voltage drop was a problem with direct current (DC) circuits; Edison was okay with decentralized (localized) power generation with centralized control under the Edison Electric Light Company.  Tesla proposed a system using alternating current (AC), which could be sent hundreds of miles with minimal loss thanks to a transformer (which could step down high voltages from the utility source). AC power steps up at the utility and then down at several points between the utility source and the end user. This vision was at odds with Edison's DC system. Tesla, who had worked under Edison, sold his patents to George Westinghouse. Edison began a propaganda campaign against AC power, emphasizing its dangers. However, Tesla harnessed the powers in his lab to demonstrate its potential; while impressive, it didn't necessarily prove the safety to the public. The Chicago World's Fair was the battleground of the current war: both Edison and Westinghouse submitted bids, and the latter's was half the price. The World's Fair was lit purely by AC power and proved its usefulness to the world (primarily to Westinghouse's financial benefit). DC faded into obscurity as a means of powering cities, and although Edison was a showman and salesman, his invention was upstaged when it mattered most. However, DC made a comeback over a century later, particularly with the rise of electronics, LED drivers, and solar power. It can now move power over ultra-long distances, too.    Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast? Submit your questions at https://www.speakpipe.com/hvacschool.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, there's a cabal of grifters who absolutely lack principles. First, Megyn Kelly questioned whether Jeffrey Epstein was a pedophile, claiming he preferred "barely legal" 15-year-old girls who could pass as older, rather than younger children, based on an insider's view. This is disgusting. Then there's Steve Bannon who exchanged hundreds of emails and met at least once with Epstein.  Bannon created videos with Epstein to teach him how to handle hostile press. Why would anyone associate with Epstein? There's newly unsealed federal court documents detail how a 17-year-old homeless girl in Florida allegedly had sex with former Re. Matt Gaetz for $400 to fund braces for her teeth. And lastly there's Tucker Carlson who targeted Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the anti-Nazi Christian evangelist who tried to kill Hitler. It's time to clean up our own house who have a twisted version of American First.  Later, the U.S. healthcare system is the world's best, but some sort of health savings accounts that put more money in people's pockets, enabling them to choose and pay for their own healthcare premiums would be a great idea. Afterward, Gov Gavin Newsom's former chief of staff was indicted on 23 federal counts including conspiracy to commit bank and wire fraud. Finally, will Barack Obama's library feature sections on figures like Mao, Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin, Marx, and Engels, as well as racist America? To build his library Obama demolished a cherished national landmark—designed by Frederick Law Olmsted for the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. It's ironic that Obama protects monuments elsewhere but destroys this historic area. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Learn how Seipp became Chicago's beer baron and why his name is back on shelves now. Plus: corner bar culture at Archie's Iowa Rockwell Tavern.Conrad Seipp Brewing Co. owner Laurin Mack joins the podcast at Archie's Iowa Rockwell Tavern to trace how she resurrected the family brewery, which was founded in 1854, survived the Great Chicago Fire, and once ranked among America's largest. She tells the wild story of her great-great-great-grandfather Conrad Seipp, an immigrant carpenter turned beer baron, and how his brewery rose to become one of the top-producing operations in the U.S. Along the way, she explains how 19th-century brewery fires and the Great Chicago Fire reset competition, how the World's Columbian Exposition shaped beer branding, and how Prohibition shuttered Seipp despite pivots like cereal beverages and ginger ale. She also discusses the Black Point Estate & Gardens in Lake Geneva—the preserved Seipp summer home you still reach by boat—and how it influenced her decision to revive the Conrad Seipp Brewing brand as a living link between Chicago's past and its present beer scene. After the beer break, Laurin discusses Seipp's Columbia World's Fair Bock (a crisp 6% dark lager) and unpacks brewer Doug Hurst's role in translating tradition into modern lagers. She explains what their detective work revealed about why the first American Pilsners didn't work and how small adjuncts like flaked corn helped pre-Prohibition Pilsners achieve the snap people craved. Plus: 19th-century “strength” vs. today's ABV, Seipp's early refrigerated boxcar distribution, and how the revived brand landed with drinkers. To wrap up, Archie's Iowa Rockwell Tavern owner Katrina Arthur joins the conversation to share Archie's origin story, why a giant Hamm's sign still glows over the intersection of Iowa and Rockwell, the free cheese balls, wooden drink tokens, and what it's like to grow up in a tavern — all before the Final Toast (featuring… the Tamale Guy?!).About Conrad Seipp Brewing Company: Seipp's beer is Chicago's beer. Founded in 1854, the Conrad Seipp Brewing Company tells the story of the city's history. The times have changed, but the principles of Seipp remain: accessible, well-crafted beer made from high quality ingredients.

Holmes allegedly killed as many as 200 people by luring visitors to his lair during the Chicago World's Fair in 1893. The 100 rooms of the house he built, were filled with trapdoors, gas chambers, staircases to nowhere, and a human-sized stove. But now, some historians say many of the gruesome stories about Doctor Holmes may be myth! (The Doctor And His Murder Castle) *** Michael Swango was an MD. He was a doctor. But the MD after his name could just as easily have represented “Master of Death”, or “Many Dead” - because there were. Up to sixty of his patients died by his own hands before he was stopped. (Doctor of Death) *** Dr. Buck Ruxton's brutal deeds earned the surgeon a grim nickname… the Savage Surgeon. (The Savage Surgeon) *** During his 26-year reign at the Trenton Psychiatric Hospital, Dr. Henry Cotton performed over 645 twisted operations in which he tried to "save" the mentally ill. (The Horrifying Cures of Dr. Cotton) *** Stubbins Ffirth was so determined to learn about Yellow Fever in the late 1700s that he purposely exposed himself to those who had it. But HOW he exposed himself is an utter nightmare and will curl your stomach. (The Insane Experiment of Stubbins Ffirth) *** Horrifying medical experiments on twins helped Nazis justify the Holocaust, and at the center of it was Dr. Josef Mengele. (The Nazi Angel of Death) *** We'll also look at a few other derailed doctors and nurses who had an unhealthy appetite for lobotomies, blisters, and the plague. (Doctors of Evil) *** Doctors killing or experimenting on patients isn't confined to human victims, some animal experiments were equally as gruesome or bizarre. For example, what would happen if you gave an elephant LSD?

Loki and Mobius time-skip to the 1893 Chicago World's Fair in search of temporal trouble — and find Victor Timely, a twitchy inventor who may hold the key to the multiverse. Eric breaks down this theatrical, chaotic episode full of looming threats, Kang teases, and one terrifying Miss Minutes. Plus: reflections on Tom Hiddleston's powerful performance, Jonathan Majors' uncertain future, and why this episode proves the TVA still might be following He Who Remains' plan.

This week, we're taking a meme and making the framework for a TTRPG out of it. Join us as we discuss themes and mechanics, define some terms, and just generally have a good time figuring out how we might get our own booth at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair.    Here's a link to the meme in question: https://imgur.com/wkK73kR    A large amount of the information I know regarding the 1893 World's Fair (the "World's Columbian Exhibition") comes from the book "The Devil in the White City" by Erik Larson.

Microwave cookery was first demonstrated by Ross Kilgore of Westinghouse at the Chicago World's Fair, which opened on 27th May, 1933. But the event was deemed to be a side-show of little scientific significance, and was forgotten until microwaves were ‘discovered' two decades later. Incredibly also on display at the Chicago World's Fair were incubated premature babies; people with dwarfism paraded in ‘midget's village'; and, most attention-grabbingly of all, a provocative fan dancer called Sally Rand. Different times. In this episode, Arion, Olly and Rebecca compare the Fair's SkyRide to its ‘coal mine'; question the purpose of a cigar-smoking robot; and explain why amoebic dysentery made an unwelcome souvenir for many...  Further Reading: • America's Best History looks back at the ‘Century of Progress' exhibition:  https://americasbesthistory.com/wfchicago1933.html • Wilding Pictures captures Technicolor footage of the Fair in 1934: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTqNPjQvOC0 • The ‘Coal Mine' exhibit, preserved at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry: https://www.msichicago.org/explore/whats-here/exhibits/coal-mine/ Love the show?

The 2025 Osaka Expo is being held in that city from April 13 to October 13 of the same year. Although construction of the facilities, including the now world's largest wooden structure termed the “Grand Ring,” began in late 2021, planning for the event dates back to 2017 and 2018, when the city bid was submitted and later when it was approved. What's really incredible is the site was built on Yumeshima, an artificial island in Osaka Bay. Like many world expos there is an emphasis on new technologies as well as cultural understanding. This particular expo features AI, “sustainable” technology, and new forms of cashless payment systems, things that would have been fantasy to people in 1890s. However, the electric lights, ferris wheel, and technology of the Chicago World's Fair in 1893, although fantastic to the 27 million people who attended, are nothing but background noise in the 21st-century. The same will be said of technology at the Osaka Expo in one hundred years. The Chicago version was larger by almost double the size of square miles - 0.6 vs 1.07. But the size of the Osaka fair is limited not only because of its location, but due to the fact that it was designed by Japanese architects and is intended to emphasize sustainability and smaller more simpler designs - things that are very Japanese to begin with. Yet there are few things about the expo that are different from the 1893 Chicago World Fair.In context, the Osaka Expo might help one to understand the Chicago version, or the various other similar fairs held around the world in that time period. Despite conspiracy theorists saying that the Chicago expo was built in 2 years and then destroyed, the facts are contrary to this. Preparation and some limited construction began within the decade previous, even before the bid was approved in 1890 and the fair opened in 1893. The surface level construction took between two and three years, about the same timeframe Osakas's fair was built, and the modern Museum of Science is a remnant of one of those Chicago buildings. Even if all buildings were destroyed or repurposed there is still an assumption about the reasoning for such a thing to happen. Consider the immense amount of money and time spent on the bid and construction of an Olympic coliseum for a two week event in a major city. Then there is the eastern philosophy of Wabi Sabi, which talks about the beauty of impermanence or certain perceived flaws. In Japan this is part of the reason that the Ise Jingu Grand Shrine of the Sun Goddess, with its beautiful wooden designs, is torn down every 20 years and rebuilt.  The idea that the Chicago World's Fair was part of some lost empire is based on assumptions about technology and history and time periods, uncontrolled speculation, and a basic lack of historical and modern context, not to mention click-bait, clout-chasing, and cash-grabbing fantasy. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America by Erik Larson has been floating around in the American pop cultural stew for the last 22 years. Paris had always been interested in reading it, so when it happened to be in a pile of books some friends were giving away, she heeded the call of our dark lord and tossed it on the schedule for 2025. Get on your fancy new bicycles, affix a lightbulb to the front, grab a can of PBR, and somehow also balance a bowl of Shredded Wheat while you're at it for a wild journey from the 1880s through the early 20th century. Paris leads us through Larson's dual accounts of the 1893 Chicago World's Fair and its Director of Work, Daniel Hudson Burnham, alongside the Chicago years of "America's first serial killer", H.H. Holmes (Herman Webster Mudgett). If you think you know the Holmes story because you already read this book or saw some TV dramatization - you don't. Together, we'll discover that misinformation and disinformation have suffused this story for 120 years (and counting)! Thanks to Ken from the Antiques Freaks for helping me down the research rabbit hole & to Adam Selzer for a stellar book, without which much of our disappointment in and suspicions of Larson's tale would not have been justified and relieved.  In addition to our usual barnyard language, today's episode includes swindling/fraud, infidelity, sexism, racism, and murder.

Ever wondered why a worthless item being sold as a miracle cure is referred to as Snake Oil?  Like just about everything else in Modern America is dates back to the Chicago World's Fair in 1893.  Clark Stanley sold snake oil to relieve aches and pains.  The amazing thing is that Snake Oil really can help with these issues, unfortunately Snake Oil is something the Snake Oil salesman wasn't actually selling.  His concoction was full of things like turpentine mineral oil, defrauding people and resulting in Snake Oil becoming the common term for a patent medicine con.  Take a listen to his story this week and a few other choice con artists from the past who sold everything from psychic visions to the Eiffel Tower (twice).

Dr. Britton was the first black woman in Kentucky to practice medicine... but there is so much more to her story! Born in Lexington in 1855, she grew up a free black citizen and went to private schools in Lexington, then Berea college. She studied medicine in Battle Creek, Michigan under Dr. Kellogg. Dr. Britton helped open the Colored Orphans home in Lexington. She caused a stir at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. She protested the Separate Coach bill in the 1890s- her speech later published in the Lexington Herald-Leader.She was a teacher, writer, doctor and activist. *This episode briefly mentions suicide.

H. H. Holmes was known for robbing graves, stealing horses, insurance fraud, and... murder. The United States' first serial killer allegedly had up to 200 victims fall prey to the soundproof rooms, secret passages, trapdoors, acid vats, pits of quicklime, gas chambers, and crematorium in his 'Murder Castle'.   Twitter and Instagram - @biarpodcast Facebook - Bug in a Rug Email us your ideas at biarpodcast@gmail.com   Sources: Did Serial Killer H.H.

To the Hilt: A sword swallower’s history of sword swallowing will soon hit the shelves by the end of February. Co-Authors Dan Meyer and Marc Hartzman were inspired to write this book through their interest in sword swallowing. For Dan, he became interested in sword swallowing in 1997. After he met the sword swallower, George the Giant, he learned there were only 12 in the world and began researching. “I founded the Swords Followers Association International, started collecting all these bios and all this research, putting it on our website, and I decided that needed to go into a book, “said Meyer. Dan reached out to Marc seven years ago to write the book. The book will share the historical significance of sword swallowing. “As far as we can tell, sword swallowing may have started about 4000 years ago, about 2000 B .C. back in ancient India. There's some information, some evidence that it might have been in Mesopotamia as well…It was actually it came to the United States about 1810, 1819, 1820 and then didn't really become popular in the United States until 1893 at the Chicago World's Fair. And then after that, circuses and sideshows started having sword swallowers and it's become kind of a little bit more popular since then, “said Meyer. For those who read the book, Dan and Marc puts numerous disclaimers to not attempt any of the acts done in the book. “We do mention in several places throughout the book that no one should try this at home. So, if they're a kid reading this book, they should they should not be inspired to try this. In fact, we talk about the fact that most books try to inspire you and this one, we strongly suggest that you do not get inspired, “said Hartzman. To the hilt, will also discuss myths and misconceptions about sword swallowing. “I've pulled a sword out of Dan's throat myself. And people swallow other things also to help prove that that this is where that there's no handle for that blade to go up in. No trickery at all, “said Hartzman.

 In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro dive into four perplexing stories that blur the line between history, mystery, and the supernatural. First, they explore the enigmatic Copper Scroll—is it a treasure map or something far more cryptic? Then, we journey to the streets of Brittany, where the Lioness of Brittany takes revenge in a tale that's as chilling as it is captivating. From the supernatural to the technological, the duo wonders if smart devices are more than just gadgets—could they actually be portals to the beyond? Finally, they unravel the cosmic connection between Arcturus, a star 40 lightyears away, and its mysterious role in lighting up the 1933 Chicago World's Fair—all this with a healthy dose of humor, of course.

The legend of H.H. Holmes and his so-called "Murder Castle" is an American Tall Tale gone bad... Holmes wasn't just any killer—he was one of America's first real serial killers. And it wasn't just the body count that made him infamous. It was that house.   Initially, people thought it was just a regular hotel, a smart business move by Holmes to cash in on the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. But, when the police finally took a good, hard look inside, they found something straight out of a nightmare. The Murder Castle wasn't some run-of-the-mill hotel with a few secrets behind the wallpaper and a revolving bookcase. No, this thing was a cathedral to the macabre. It wasn't built for guests—it was built for victims. As for the body count? Well, that's still up for debate. Some say Holmes killed as few as nine people. Others think he might've murdered as many as 200...Either way, he wasn't running a hotel—he was running a slaughterhouse. Some might even say he was running the prototypical, "Haunted House"...If you found Kinda Murdery because of the Hillbilly Horror Stories Halloween Special, thank you so much for being here!  If you haven't heard Hillbilly Horror Stories, Jerry and Tracy deliver a fantastic show, and please do listen to their 7th Annual Halloween Special - featuring Kinda Murdery -  here: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hillbilly-horror-stories-7th-halloween-episode/id1146579746?i=1000674689093Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6mOvm0mPyfQ0g0ljOHwH6q?si=_z-7zZEGT4CjL1HbPGWvcAHillbilly Horror stories is also availble here, and wherever you get your podcasts!: https://www.hillbillyhorrorstories.com/podcast/episode/795e08d2/hillbilly-horror-stories-7th-halloween-episodeHAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY!Sources: https://allthatsinteresting.com/hh-holmes-hotel https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/enduring-mystery-hh-holmes-americas-first-serial-killer-180977646/ https://www.biography.com/crime/hh-holmesBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/kinda-murdery--5496890/support.

Weird Darkness is narrated by professional full-time voice actor Darren Marlar. No A.I. voices are ever used in the show. IN THIS EPISODE: H.H. Holmes allegedly killed as many as 200 people by luring visitors to his lair during the Chicago World's Fair in 1893. The 100 rooms of the house he built, were filled with trapdoors, gas chambers, staircases to nowhere, and a human-sized stove. But now, some historians say many of the gruesome stories about Doctor Holmes may be myth! (The Doctor And His Murder Castle) *** Michael Swango was an MD. He was a doctor. But the MD after his name could just as easily have represented “Master of Death”, or “Many Dead” - because there were. Up to sixty of his patients died by his own hands before he was stopped. (Doctor of Death) *** Dr. Buck Ruxton's brutal deeds earned the surgeon a grim nickname… the Savage Surgeon. (The Savage Surgeon) *** During his 26-year reign at the Trenton Psychiatric Hospital, Dr. Henry Cotton performed over 645 twisted operations in which he tried to "save" the mentally ill. (The Horrifying Cures of Dr. Cotton) *** Stubbins Ffirth was so determined to learn about Yellow Fever in the late 1700s that he purposely exposed himself to those who had it. But HOW he exposed himself is an utter nightmare and will curl your stomach. (The Insane Experiment of Stubbins Ffirth) *** Horrifying medical experiments on twins helped Nazis justify the Holocaust, and at the center of it was Dr. Josef Mengele.

Chicago won the right to host the fair over several competing cities, including New York City, Washington, D.C., and St. Louis.

Holmes allegedly killed as many as 200 people by luring visitors to his lair during the Chicago World's Fair in 1893. The 100 rooms of the house he built, were filled with trapdoors, gas chambers, staircases to nowhere, and a human-sized stove. But now, some historians say many of the gruesome stories about Doctor Holmes may be myth! (The Doctor And His Murder Castle) *** Michael Swango was an MD. He was a doctor. But the MD after his name could just as easily have represented “Master of Death”, or “Many Dead” - because there were. Up to sixty of his patients died by his own hands before he was stopped. (Doctor of Death) *** Dr. Buck Ruxton's brutal deeds earned the surgeon a grim nickname… the Savage Surgeon. (The Savage Surgeon) *** During his 26-year reign at the Trenton Psychiatric Hospital, Dr. Henry Cotton performed over 645 twisted operations in which he tried to "save" the mentally ill. (The Horrifying Cures of Dr. Cotton) *** Stubbins Ffirth was so determined to learn about Yellow Fever in the late 1700s that he purposely exposed himself to those who had it. But HOW he exposed himself is an utter nightmare and will curl your stomach. (The Insane Experiment of Stubbins Ffirth) *** Horrifying medical experiments on twins helped Nazis justify the Holocaust, and at the center of it was Dr. Josef Mengele. (The Nazi Angel of Death) *** We'll also look at a few other derailed doctors and nurses who had an unhealthy appetite for lobotomies, blisters, and the plague. (Doctors of Evil) *** Doctors killing or experimenting on patients isn't confined to human victims, some animal experiments were equally as gruesome or bizarre. For example, what would happen if you gave an elephant LSD?
