The 7-Eleven Turtle Siege & The Egg That Was Actually a Cannon

In a 7-Eleven standoff you have to hear to believe, one man didn't reach for a weapon—he reached for the aquatic. We explore the bizarre case of the man who threatened a local convenience store and the entire city with a promised turtle invasion. Was it a biological threat, a cry for help, or just a very slow-motion prank? We break down the Slow Hostile Encounter Leading to Litigation and why the police were suddenly on high alert for... turtles.Think you know the story of Humpty Dumpty? Think again. We’re peeling back the shell on the real-life history of this childhood icon. Why is he depicted as an egg when the original rhyme never mentions one? We investigate the theory that Humpty was actually a massive royalist cannon during the English Civil War. From the top of the wall at St. Mary’s at the Wall to the final, crushing fall, we explain why all the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put this heavy artillery back together again.
