Ach! We STILL need some more time to get our offline projects off the ground... So last week, we did seven "recipes" from history, had 'em done ahead of time, and then time-stamped them to ensure a full week's worth of new posts for you!

This week, I'm hearkening to a favourite series of books for a little historical fair... The Book of Lists... and share some of the more "interesting" samples of historical tidbits from various books in that series...

#3: Errol Flynn and Truman Capote

A (drunken) one night stand that happened in 1947. According to Capote, "If it hadn't been Errol Flynn, I wouldn't have remembered."

#2:Marlene Dietrich and General George S. Patton

Apparently, they were an "intense pair" of lovers during her time entertaining the troops in WWII...

#1: Aimee Semple McPherson and Milton Berle

This happened four years after the evangelist's "kidnapping" and long before he was "Uncle Milty"... granted, she apparently enjoyed "the deed" at home in front of her personal altar... complete with crucifix and candles.

PLEASE NOTE: This is only a SAMPLING from the original list... to full entry is in the book and well worth the read!
