About an unusual war grave that has recently been uncovered? The English translation of Philip Rohr's classic 1679 book title De Masticatione Mortuorum? Which disease you would have had if you were taking Guaiac in the 16th Century? When Columbus 'discovered' the Americas? About the soldier who was buried upright?
