Of course, it has to work with the concept of the collection, it can be tricky but I know where to stop.

What if all those strange and unexplainable bends in history were the result of supernatural interference? At which point I asked myself, what's the weirdest most eccentric historical phenomenon of them all? Answer:the Great British Empire.
