Adolf Hitler's Skull

An interesting article I found on Associated Content concerning Adolf Hitler's skull being said to be female. The main reason I find the article interesting is that the details concerning Hitler's death have always interested me for the simple reason that someone that caused so much trouble died in such a seemingly simple way. It has always amazed me when a dictatory has managed to get power, given how easily that same dictator could be potentially killed. As such, I think it says something more about a time period or a nation than an individual person. I live in Australia, and I just do not think a dictator could rise to power without being killed by someone pretty quickly really.

Also, topics like this interest me because of a strange phenomen where the more important something is the fuzzier it gets. For instance, religious articles on wikipedia are less reliable than articles on chlorination of methane because the first is considered more important and thus keeps being edited, new information, etc. It reminds me of how many people have gotten away with killing celebrities, because so much effort went into investigating the matters that it produced more leads, and thus more doubts, than a normal investigation would have. JFK assassination comes to mind.

Anyway, the article is here.

  1. Hi Justin,

    I like your blog. It has some interesting topics. Hitler captivated his audiences with his speeches. He'd hit several topics in a speech and end each topic with an dramatic ending.
