  • Uncanny coincidences are scattered throughout history, leading to the downfall of empires and the good fortune of everyday citizens. In this episode, Tony uncovers how a deadly medieval plague was able to infiltrate a thriving Australian town in the 1900s. He ponders the destiny of a group of World War II soldiers who, by signing their names on a wall, enlisted them into a very special club.

      Well I think that means we should lock down forever, lest that one case every few years EXPLODE into a worldwide pandemic. Because if we save even one life............I also hear Oregon is drafting PERMANENT mask laws, despite there being absolutely no scientific evidence for such major violations of the citizens personal rights. You will be locking down in hotels and having your 12yo beat by cops for not complying here soon. Just like AUSTRALIA!

    I don't think you've gotten this correct. Darwin was bombed by the Japanese in WWII. My father was in that war, in the Light Horse. He told us about it, and there are many documented accounts of it, so how was no other shit fired in anger... on Australian soil, in WWII?
