```Lord Timothy Dexter is the luckiest person to have ever lived. He lived during the American revolution, and was known for his being very strange. He started out the poor uneducated son of a shoe maker, but got lucky and married a rich widow. This was enough to thrust him into the elite of his city, but it did not suddenly make him sophisticated or a genius.

Timothy Dexter felt like he needed to invest his money so that he could be like all the other wealthy elite around him. He was uneducated so he didn't know what would be a good investment, so he just bought into whatever was cheap. This strategy paid out big for him, and others grew jealous of his success. Some local gentlemen decided to test him by suggesting the Jamaica was in desperate need of mittens, warming pans, and Bibles. Timothy Dexter decided to follow this insane advice and sent all three to the island. While his ships were on the way there was a huge religious revival sweeping Jamaica and the Bible's were sold as soon as they arrived. Next a fleet of Russian ships bought up all the mittens to ship home because they had some extra room in the cargo holds. Finally an enterprising farmer discovered that the warming pans were just perfect for skimming molasses, and all of them were sold at a profit.```

```People were shocked by this and tried to ruin him financially. They told him that Newcastle England was desperately in need of coal. Newcastle is the center of coal mining in England. Well, Timothy followed their advice again, and sent seven ships full of Virginia coal to England. Almost as soon as the ships were sent off a workers strike happened in Newcastle. Absolutely no coal was produced for weeks. By the time the ships arrived there actually was a coal shortage and Timothy Dexter made a huge profit.

He was also a bit insane. Timothy Dexter decided to write a book titled "A Pickle for the Knowing Ones" it was self published and horribly misspelled, it also lacked any form of punctuation. He was ridiculed so much for this that in the next edition he added two pages of nothing but punctuation and told the reader to "pepper and salt it as they please". He also convinced his family to hold a fake funeral for him. He was so upset that his wife didn't look sad enough that he jumped out of his coffin and chased her out of the church with his cane. His treatment of his wife got worse when he decided that she had died while she was very much still alive. He would introduce people to her as the ghost of his dead wife.

Honestly I believe this man is the most interesting and odd figure early American history, and one who isn't talked about enough.```

Can I get a train fact

trains have engines

Okay, fine, if you're not going to take this seriously, i'll start us off with a good one: The first trains with German Jews expelled to ghettos in occupied Poland began departing from central Germany on 16 October 1941.

These were called Sonderzüge.

Now you do one

trains are man made

your turn

Most of the Jews were forced to pay for their own deportations, particularly wherever passenger carriages were used.

The SS forwarded part of this money to the German Transport Authority to pay the German Railways for transport of the Jews.

the total area of contact between train wheels and rail is little larger than one silver dollar.

That's a good train fact!

Powered mainly by efficient steam locomotives, the Holocaust trains were kept to a maximum of 55 freight cars on average, loaded from 150% to 200% capacity - German ingenuity didn't just start with Volkswagon, folks!

If someone commits suicide in Japan by jumping onto an oncoming train, the train company can/will sue his/her family for cleanup fees, loss of income and negative publicity brought on by the suicide

Of the more than 245,000 Jews who passed through the Łódź Ghetto, the last 68,000 inmates, by then the largest final gathering of Jews in all of German occupied Europe, had been liquidated by the Nazis after 7 August 1944. They were told to prepare for resettlement; instead, over the next 23 days they were sent to Birkenau by train at the rate of 2,500 per day, with some of the crippled selected by Josef Mengele for his "medical experiments"

Obviously I was just being edgy, but now im down a bit of a rabbit hole reading about these

Luxury trains are the best way if anyone wants to travel the world’s most beautiful places. They promise to deliver the most exciting, unforgettable journey across the world’s most famous tourist places. Anyone willing to spend some good amount of money to experience the elegance of Kings and Queens, luxury trains are truly the best way to do it.

the SS was paying the German Train Authority, the ReichBAHN, the equivalent of a Third Class train ticket for every Jewish prisoner transported to their final destination. Calculate: 0.5 pfennig X 8,000,000 prisoners X 600 Km (pro media of voyage length) and you get about 240 millions Riechmarks.

8 million you say? 🤔

I can practically hear you rubbing your hands

Don't worry, the nazis weren't completely heartless; children got to ride the trains half price. Children under 10-12 years of age paid half price, one-way ticket. All this money went to the German Rails Authority who regarded the evacuation as a simple local freight transportation matter.
