Spent most of yesterday watching history videos on You Tube.

Tons of fun. Things like royal inbreeding in the Hapsburg dynasty, royals who died of plague and more

I go through "spurts" where I watch them, usually ones having something to do with the Second World War. I had no idea there was so much film from that war--incredible stuff, some of it colorized.

"The Hapsburg Dynasty" -- that is a subject I would like to know more about.

Very enjoyable. Pair of comics, one reads historical account, they both react to what they learn as he reads. I've learned so much, gained a lot of insights on how things were, and very frequently laughed.

Very wide range of history covered. from 1000s years BC to recent past.
