Never heard of him. That sounds awesome.Sarcasmo said:I bought a video about HH Holmes a year and a half ago. It's amazing no one knows about the guy. His house was like an amusement park ride, but for dead people. And it bothers me to no end that they tore it down. Can you imagine the money you could make having tours through that place? Weird guy, unbelievable story. More people should know about him.
I've never seen another portrait done of Vlad, I'm thinking it may be the only one there isERage said:You won't forget to pay your taxes in the Count's realm. My brother in law has a decorative plate with this same picture on it that he got as a gift from a friend that went to Romania.
Sounds a lot like Herman Mudgett - is that the same dude?Sarcasmo said:I bought a video about HH Holmes a year and a half ago. It's amazing no one knows about the guy.

theacoustician said:Pol Pot
Pol Pot (born in 1925 in the Kompong Thom province of Cambodia) was the Khmer political leader whose totalitarian regime (1975-79) imposed severe hardships on the people of Cambodia. His radical communist government forced the mass evacuations of cities, killed or displaced millions of people, and left a legacy of disease and starvation. Under his leadership, his government caused the deaths of at least one million people from forced labor, starvation, disease, torture, or execution.
wikipedia said:Pol Pot's regime killed between 1.5 - 2.3 million people between 1975-1979. By some accounts, nearly 1 out of every 8 Cambodians were murdered. The regime targeted Buddhist monks, western educated intellectuals, individuals with glasses, and ethnic Laotians and Vietnamese. The regime committed brutal genocide in the name of liberation.

By shooting at the ground.
