Dumb History: True Tales of Stupid Ideas Gone Horribly Wrong

By Schitt Richards

DUMB HISTORY

Real events so stupid you'll wish they were made up.

From the Great Molasses Flood to the Exploding Whale, self-proclaimed historian Schitt Richards digs up the facts, dusts off the disasters, and serves them with the dry wit they deserve. This collection reveals one undeniable truth:
we've always been this dumb - we're just better at documenting it now.

For every age of progress, there's an equally impressive age of bad decisions. The empires, the engineers, the scientists, the dreamers - they all meant well. They just forgot to think it through. Each story is a reminder that history isn't just about what we built; it's about what collapsed, caught fire, or exploded along the way.

From overconfident generals to accidental inventors and bureaucrats with more optimism than sense, Dumb History captures the beautiful, burning chaos of human trial and (mostly) error.
It's not a question of if we'll screw up again - only how spectacularly.
