#19 - Barf Bag History

It's episode nineteen, folks! You know what that means...   There are many things we can be thankful for in this modern age. One of them is proper toilets and sewer systems... something that ancient Rome and 1858 London sadly didn't have. The geysers of flame that were common to shoot up out of Roman toilets was proof enough of that. But even toilet fire isn't quite as bad as blubber rain: the result of George Thornton's bangin' idea to blow a beached whale sky high.   Further Reading:   Ancient Roman Toilets: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/how-the-ancient-romans-went-to-the-bathroom-180979056/  Exploding Whale: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploding_whale  The Great Stink: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Stink    Intro: City Lights — Babasmas [Audio Library Release] Music provided by Audio Library Plus Watch: https://youtu.be/W9IQfypOkkYFree Download / Stream: https://alplus.io/city-lights Music:  Jazz In Paris - Media Right Productions https://youtu.be/mNLJMTRvyj8  Celestial by Scott Buckley https://soundcloud.com/scottbuckleyCr...
