History/historical comedy:
Questionable Advise – in which people in olden days gave really horrible advise.
Ugly Renaissance Babies – making you realize that Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo were really abnormal for their time. And that people during the Renaissance maybe didn’t put any effort into figuring out how babies look different from other humans.
Perez Hamilton – what if Perez Hilton was commenting while America was being founded?
Really, too many history to list – here is the 2011 best history blogs, but is there anything (politics, economics, weapons, sexuality, communication, etc) or any particular period (medieval England, southern US during the antebellum period, American Civil War, WWII in France, China before it was China, etc) in particular you’re interested in?
Other than that… anything really specific you’re looking for? (I purposefully didn’t post the bigillion politically-related blogs I follow, because I wasn’t sure this was really the forum).
