JLB MDC | S2 E7 | The Futility Hoax (30-Jun-2019)

Did an obscure novelist really predict the sinking of the Titanic in 1898, more than a decade before the 'real' event took place?

If some of the humans around us are like 'non-player characters', what kinds of 'Turing tests' can we apply to determine who is more than a mere robot?

‘Alfred The Great Hoax’ by daibpdaibp

Humorous History Hoax Admissions [Mk II] by Al

In early February of this year we were treated to a short piece from Al in which he looked at the primary sources -- or lack thereof -- for characters of 'ancient history' such as Plato, Homer, and Sophocles.

Now he's back with an updated version of that piece, which goes into much more detail about what you will find if you try to determine where the 'experts' get their information about 'ancient history'.
