We've all seen the movies. Two cowboys meet at sundown across the street from one another, hands hovering anxiously above their holsters as a tumbleweed bounces by and a distant flutist plays suspenseful music. Then suddenly, in the blink of an eye, the men draw their cattleman revolvers and fire. But believe it or not, this heavily romanticized Hollywood version of a duel doesn't even come close to competing with how absurd real world duels have been in history! In this video, we'll cover a blunderbuss duel that takes place in the clouds of Paris, a claustrophobic knife fight in a carriage with no means of escape, and a duel between nobles over who's estate had the most birds!

Thomas Hart Benton and Charles Lucas have not one, but two duels over a puppy insult! While one typically views a lawyer as a sophisticated individual deserving of respect, these two lawyers destroy that stereotype by duking it out to the death on Bloody Island in Missouri.

People often romanticize the Victorian Era as a time of class, aesthetic, and wonder when in reality, you're much better off in the 21st century than you could ever hope to be in the 1800s. From your water to your wallpaper, death lurked around every corner. Public health was such a problem that male tradesmen and laborers of the working class had life expectancies of 25 and 22 respectively. But no worries, if you do ever happen to find yourself in the unfortunate cesspool that is Victorian London, I'm here to teach you all the essentials you'll need to know to survive!

War, for all of its destructiveness, ironically brings with it big pushes for innovation and creative problem solving. Some famous examples of this include the atomic bomb developed over the course of WWII, or the Trojan Horse from Homer's epic poem, "The Iliad." However, every once in a while an individual with a more zany mind comes up with some rather peculiar plans. In this video, I cover some of the more interesting plans/circumstances that occurred during battles throughout history, including Cambyses II's use of cats and animals during the 'Battle of Pelusium', the world's first "successful" combat submarine, the Confederate-made H.L. Hunley, and the story of some unexpected combatants during the 'Battle of the Bees'.
I thought the longleaf pine was a cool looking tree, so I thought I'd do a little tribute to it. Thank you for joining me in this edition of Nature with BlueJay, stay tuned for more!

The word "radiation" often will often cause hair to stand on end ever since the end of the Cold War, however without it, life as we know it could not exist! While often associated with nuclear weapons and fallout, radiation is much more than the scary disasters we read about in the news. Simply put, radiation is just the transmission of energy through particles or waves through space or material mediums, meaning all the warmth, light, and colors you experience in this beautiful world are a direct result of radiation!

Innovations in science and technology often find uses outside of their original intent, such as with Alfred Nobel's invention of dynamite, and the discover of radiation and nuclear energy are no exception to this rule. In this video, I explore some of the more interesting applications of radiation and nuclear power throughout history! With everything radium products to nuclear weapons for 'peaceful' construction, the atomic era had no shortage of radioactive quackery and bizarre nuclear tales.
