Simon is one of the original YouTube LEGENDS!! He may not write much of his material, but his delivery is the very definition of EPIC. Full Kudos to this guy and the teams of writers and researchers behind him.
The mechanical turk is a strikingly clever machine. If Kempelen or Mälzel had marketed it as a magician's illusion for entertainment purposes, I think they'd have made a fortune. Maybe Kempelen thought that kind of presentation would tarnish his image as an inventor, or cast a dim light on members of royalty who already fell for the trick.
In the 1980s when I was at uni studying anthropology among other things, my brother shared this interest so I pranked him. I told him that a hominin ancestor had been discovered in a bog in northern Europe and that it had an adaptation to the cold which was preserved by the acidic peat. It appears the creature was completely covered in a very soft, fine white feathery material. After registering his astonishment I delivered the punchline.
Yep, they're calling it Quilt down man.
He still brings it up. In fact, I think he's used it on a few people😂.
poe's unmasking of the chess hoax was basically "hey, how come we never see superman and clark kent innthe same room together?"
On the edge of my seat, eager to learn whether this episode will include the Great Bathtub Hoax floated by H.L. Mencken.
Ah, so there's a tiny man inside my computer and that's why I never win at Chessmaster. Thanks for the clarity.
I still love Orson Welles' War of the Worlds radio broadcast. I don't know if it was intended as a hoax, but the reaction it caused was certainly akin to what a hoaxer would hope to achieve.
1:30 - Chapter 1 - Piltdown man
7:25 - Mid roll ads
8:40 - Chapter 2 - The original mechanical turk
16:50 - Chapter 3 - The original ponzi scheme
Didn't know Ponzi was on School Street in Boston. There's a Walgreens there now, with an old bank vault roped off in the back. I walk past it so much I've never bothered to see if there's a plaque or something. Now I'm curious to see if it dates back to his time and if he possibly owned it at some point.
Even if it was a hoax, the Turk sounds like a very impressive feat of engineering for what it really did.
In elementary school a kid believed penguins could fly and used this one photoshopped image of a penguin flying as evidence, and the teacher punished me for telling him he was too gullible.
The Mechanical Turks would be a great name for a band.
The BBC’s Spaghetti tree and a year later, the American tourists who were hunting the wild Haggis in the Highlands of Scotland. Both were fantastic modern hoaxes in times when people should have known differently.
We demand an episode on Simon Whistler!
Preferably not on "into the shadows" or "casual criminalist".
Charles Dawson sounds like the Wario of Charles Darwin
Happy holidays everybody, and stay warm and safe, those in North America who have been hit by the arctic blast.
This video in 2223:
“But these hoaxes all pale in relation to the greatest scam of all time… the stock market “
An example of legal arbitrage happened in Brazil in the 1980s during a period of very high inflation. People would purchase gold and then resell it in the US at a profit. The way it worked was they would place an order for a gold transaction and the price would be fixed at the contract date. It would take a couple of weeks to months for the order to be processed and in that time inflation was significant enough that the currency exchange guaranteed a healthy profit. People were wiling to take a loss on the gold because it meant they got stable US dollars.
It's absurdly funny to me that someone named Charles Dawson ended up being being a fake Charles Darwin. I guess Dawson is legally distinct from Darwin LOL kind of like how they have to call fake cheese, "cheez".
