You ever learn about a guy so bold and self-assured *and* keeps winning?! Angie tells us the story of the Norwegian Hans Solo, Peter Wessel Tordenskjold. At one point he goes in for a court martial and comes out with a raise instead. 

Theresa then shares the Dancing Plague of 1518. You know, that time everyone just compulsively danced until they dropped dead? That one. 

This episode pairs well with: 
The crazy death of Saint Lawrence
The badass adventures of Lorenc Peter Elfred Freuchen
